My maid of honor had a fit about the dress that I and my other brides maids picked out. After talking with her about it, she wants to wear a different dress. My bridesmaids and I pick the dress because they both loved them and we thought they went if my dress perfectly. Do you thinks this dress will work with the other two.

I think it is to casual to match the others...Any advice
MOH Dress!!?
I personally like the dress you MOH picked out better than the other dress. If she is the MOH, why can't she wear a different dress than the other bridesmaids, it will make her stand out and she would probably feel more comfortable if she got to wear something she likes.
Reply:I think it will be fine. And it sets the maid of honor apart, which kind of honors her...
Reply:I think that they are too different. Maybe they could go with something like this http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_...
or like this http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_...
Maybe your MOH does feel comfortable with form fitting dresses?
Reply:All I can say about the MOH dress is ick!! To me it looks like a winter formal dress, or a club dress. Maybe as a guest it would be fine, but not as the MOH. Why didn't she do with you to pick out dresses? I would suggest to her to find something in a similar fabric and shape as the brides maids dresses.
Reply:style is fine
hope colors coordinate?
Reply:Actually the MoH dress is more formal than the bridesmaids dresses. The Maid of Honor's dress is generally different from the bridesmaid's dresses in some way. If they are all the same color they would look well together but it is your wedding and she should wear what you decided upon.
Reply:That dress only come in Victorian Lilac, so they will be a little darker than the other dresses. Here is another suggestion, http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_... it matches pretty well and that style wold look good on a bigger girl. You're maid of honor shouldn't be acting like this towards you. It is your special day and you should be able to do what you want. Tell her that if she doesn't want to wear the dress that you pick out, she can forget about being the maid of honor.
Reply:i dont like the fist one.. it doesnt go well with your dress.. i do like the second one though
Reply:tell her to wear the dress you picked out or dont be in the wedding
Reply:I don't think different styles is a problem - I think as long as the colours are the same you shouldn't have a problem. However - that dress would not suit anyone who was not pencil thin!!! Maybe you need to keep looking in more shops. No problem having different dresses - but you do want to make sure they look good! (And don't stress too much - they are only in some of the photos - the rest are just of you and your man so you don't need to worry!!!)
Reply:you tell her she is welcome to buy any dress she wants however ever the dress on your wedding day is xxx ( the one you want) she can wear that other dress on a date. Who cares , you pick out the dress enough said.
Reply:Still working on this problem, huh? Sorry to hear that!
But on the up side, the MOH can absolutely have a different dress than the bm's (my cousin pitched a fit also, but that was because of the color, so they gave her the same dress in a different color and had the bm's flowers all match that way). However, I don't think that dress would work too well. Maybe try something that is in the same fabric as the bm's dresses. That way even if it is a different dress, it isn't completely off the mark.
Not part of the question, but I just wanted to let you know that I love your dress. You will look beautiful anyways! :)
Best of luck to you!
Reply:Bottom line, you are the bride. Let her know that is the dress you picked out and the one she picked does not look good on her. I sell bridal attire and I tell you that is the one "biggest" problem that I run into. It is either brides picking out dresses that lookk good on their size 2 maid, but horrible on the larger ones or even worse. A girl that is a size 18 trying to wear this little dress and looking horrible in it, thinking she looks good. I myself am a bigger girl and I am well aware that there are a lot of dresses that simply cannot be worn by a larger girl. I am not in denial, but my god some people are. Simply let her know that the dress you picked is the dress that you are going with, if she argues...get curt with her and tell her in her wedding she can do whatever she wants, but this is yours and this is the dress. Period. If she still argues then maybe she is not understanding the importance of your wedding to you. Good luck. Stand your ground, remember this is your wedding and you will be looking at these pics forever!
Reply:I think it's up to you, and it's a bit late for her to do this. It's when we bend over for everyone that the bridezilla rears her ugly head.
Besides that, I like them both but not together. Maybe she can wear the same as the others in a different colour. That's what I am doing for my MOH
At the end of the day though there are no real rules anymore so whatever works out for the best!
Reply:I like the MOH dress, and I don't think it is too casual. But, I do agree that it does not really coordinate with the other bridesmaid dress. If you really don't like the dress your MOH wants, then I think you can play the "I'm the bride" card, and help her find another dress. Or, put her in the same dress as the other girls, and distinguish her by adding a wrap or different color bouquet flowers.
Reply:It's obviously just my opinion, I think it doesn't look quite right to have two different materials and different hemlines. I just don't like the way it looks. I think its fine for her to have a different dress, just with same fabric and hemline/length.
Here's an idea: Instead of just looking at the tea length dress, why not look at the longer dresses. Longer dresses can always be shortened and are generally similar in price.
Here are an example of a David's dress that is similar to the chiffon dress, but in satin that can be shortened:

Good Luck!
Reply:I don't think it goes at all. She can have something with a similar cut than the others, just a different style top to set her apart.
Don't forget: unless it's a daytime wedding, the dresses should be floor length.
Reply:It's your wedding, and she should wear what you want her to wear; in return, you won't complain about what she puts you in for her wedding (assuming she returns the favor, which I hope she would). When I was trying on dresses for my MOH's wedding years ago, I made my opinions clear BUT I was still going with what she wanted with no complaint.
To be fair, I originally wanted my bridesmaids in red. But my naturally red-headed maid of honor didn't want to look like a red pole so after some thought and discussion, I changed the color to black (I'm getting married in October). And I made sure all my bridesmaids would look good in the same style regardless of body type.
The dress your MOH picked is pretty - but it clashes with the style of your dress. If I had picked a dress with your type of skirt, I naturally would have picked out a dress like you did for your bridemaids so even though they don't exactly coordinate, they do flow well to the eye between each other.
And I don't think you're going Bridezilla on her. It's your wedding, and you're the one who has to look at your wedding pictures forever. If she won't drop it, I'd find a new MOH. If she's really your friend she won't fight you on it.
Reply:I persoanlly like the dress the MOH picked better. it's more dramatic and you want the MOH to stand out somewhat. Honestly I think she can pull off the look depending on what her problem areas are. Let her do this. it will make her more comfortable, and you won't have to deal with her complaining about a dress she hates.
Reply:Maybe she could pick a completely different dress in the same colour?
I agree with you about that dress not really suiting her body type. Maybe you could tell her you would like the dress to be in lilac and for it to be either a halter or V-neck style (which would suit her body type the best). That way, she still gets to have input into what she wears but the dress will look better on her and fit with the other BM's dresses better.
It's important that you are happy with the dress she picks as well- after all it is your wedding.
