Rosewood Bridesmaid Dress | Britney Tarno Simple Ways to Make Your Maid of Honor Feel Special It's so thoughtful to show your maid of honor how much you appreciate her! There are many ways you can show your appreciation, from a special hairstyle or a personalized piece of jewelry! Here are our favorite ideas. 1) Choose A Different Style MOH Dress By giving your MOH a different style dress than the other ‘maids, you will make her feel extra special on the big day! It doesn’t even have to be anything drastic. Consider allowing her to rock a different silhouette, shoulder straps, or neckline.

Or vice versa! Whatever she prefers, a unique do will set her apart or allow her to feel a little bit more like herself. 3) Give Her A Special Maid of Honor Bouquet Give your MOH the gift of a one-of-a-kind bridal bouquet! It is an easy way to differentiate her from the group, whether you opt for an arrangement that is larger, features different colors, or different flowers. It will allow her to beautifully stand out amongst the rest of the ‘maids in your wedding photos.

Perhaps a sparkly rhinestone sash, or a more dainty and feminine ribbon. Choose whichever best aligns with your wedding vision! 5) Have Her Help You Into Your Wedding Dress Consider including your maid of honor as you get into your wedding dress! It's a sure way to make her feel special - and you'd likely appreciate her company in that moment!

However, consider putting your MOH alone in a different color dress. Whether it be a completely unique color, or just a slightly different shade from the rest of your girls. For example, if all of your girls are wearing Moss, put your MOH in Sage Green.  7) Adorn Her with a Special Maid of Honor Hairpiece A hairpieces or another hair accessory is a beautiful way to spruce up your bridesmaids outfit. They also make for a meaningful gift - perfect for a bridesmaid proposal. Gift one just to your MOH, or gift her a unique alternative to her that will set her apart from the rest of the girls. Some of our favorites include: pearl hair barrettes, cute bridesmaid hair pins, and this baby's breath natural floral crown!

Instead of having all of your girls wear the exact same shoe or the same color, let your MOH spice it up a bit. Whether she goes with a wedge instead of a stiletto, or chooses sparkly gold instead of nude, it will be a super fun accent! 9) Gift Her a Special Piece of Jewelry Your maid of honor will absolutely cherish a thoughtful piece of jewelry! (Also - it doesn't need to be expensive!) Find a piece, like the personalized necklace below, that she can wear in her everyday life - including the wedding. This is an extremely personal way to make her feel appreciated and loved. 10) Decorate Her Chair at the Head Table You've probably seen the bride and groom's chair with a sign or highly decorated? Surprise your MOH and best man with a sign or decor of their own! They will appreciate this simple gesture, but it will also make who sits where more obvious.
