    My colors are sage green and blush rose... the rest of the girls will be in sage green(assorted styles), and I want my MOH to stand out but not in pink... would it be bad to have her in a white dress? I'm thinking of the photo I posted... HELP!Maid of Honor in a White dress? :  wedding maid of honor white S7d4.scene7.com

    I've seen a wedding party in all white & the bride was in a different color, I personally, thought it looked awesome.

     I guess it depends on what color you're wearing and if it's white, do you mind the two of you both being in white?

    I don't mind us being both in white... her dress is very fun and it's short... so it doesn't look anything like a wedding dress... here is my dress (though I know you've seen it from a previous post lol):Maid of Honor in a White dress? :  wedding maid of honor white 167472 169465126431275 100001033655138 400184 7014197 N

    It's your wedding! If you like it, go with it! I would personally put her in pink because I know my MOH would feel strange in white... What does your MOH think?

    @FutureLeep9: If you are cool with it, do it. Your dress looks great on you btw.

    She does not care either way other than she said she feels like she will spill something on the white (haha, oh I love her)... but if I put her in sage green like the rest of the girls, what else can I do for her to stand out?

    I'm not that keen on the white MOH dress idea, but ultimately it is your choice! 

    Could you have her wear a gown that is a bit different in sage OR have her carry a bouquet with a different "pop" of color?

    @hannathehamster: It's from the new line from Alfred Angelo! :)

     

     

    @melisslp: That's a good idea on the flowers... I'm sure I'll think of SOMETHING:)

    I love your wedding dress and think the MOH dress is also pretty.  She could even wear a sage green sash to match the other bridesmaids.

    I had my MOH with a different color bouquet. All the girls carried green and she had pink. That way she stood out a little bit.

    @FutureLeep9: Ultimatley the decision is up to you...personally though i would have her stand out by having a different coloured boquet, or maybe wear a coloured sash with her dress....something elses that makes her stand out.

    On a side note, wedding dresses...are white...and if you and your MOH are standing together in a ton of pics (which you will of course!) you guys might "blend" in together if you know what i mean (no seperation in colour etc.)

    Like everyone said- the decision is up to you- but I think you should have your MOH wear a different color than white. It's cliche- but the bride wears white because it's your day! You don't want people to think it's her wedding!

    Would you consider a cream?! Or tan!? I think that would be too much WHITE side by side!

    I like the suggestion someone made for the sash!

    i agree that the decision is ultimately up to you....

    for me, i wouldnt do it....well, i would if i was wearing color but since i'm most likely going to be wearing white or ivory, i'd rather be the one who stands out in the wedding photos instead of having my moh stand next to me in white also...thats just my opinion....

    I don't know if anyone else has said this, but I would make sure that SHE is okay with wearing white. Some people just hate wearing white, but more specifically she might envision herself wearing white at a wedding on her wedding day only. A white dress is something I saved for my wedding.

    My sister was in a pale champagne, which almost looked the same color as my ivory gown.  Didn't bother me!

    I'm just not sure if a sash would look good on the dress... However, I get what a lot of you are saying about me being the only one in white or blending too much like each other... I think I'm going to do her bouquet different.

    For different bouquets - my bouquet was biggest (obviously) with mostly green and white with pops of blue and several peacock feathers.  My MOH's was slight smaller, green and white with peacock feathers, and the BM's bouquets were a bit smaller and just green and white w/no feathers.  That's how we distinguished my MOH from the BMs.

    I love this idea!

    Have you seen this picture?  It might give you a slight idea of how it would look.

     

    EDIT:  Actually this whole post is full of white bridesmaids while not the whole idea you're going for, it gives you an idea.

    I totally agree with the slight difference from the BM's attire. I'm going with the same color for all with just enough difference...to make a difference. ya kno. This is with the BM, Jr.BM's and MOH. FG's are the only others in white. But nah..wouldn't choose MOH to wear white. I know she's your Girl and all but...It's your day. I will say though..I've decided on them having a short train.LOL!
