thanks guys for ur input, i need some ideas now on how to make the matron of honours dress different from the others.the pictures that blossy put up on her post are the ones im goin to go with i think i LOVE them..... Do yas reckon silver shoes would go?? this is so much harder than what ithought

You wont see shoes anyway with that dress. Maybe get a sweet little brooch or something for the bodice?

I'd let the girls where whatever black shoes they want. They can wear them again, and I think that if a coloured shoe to were to peek out it might ruin the elegance of the dress if you know what I mean?

How many maids? Do you really want the maid of honour to have a different style, or would she stand out as MOH if she had a different flower/hair accessory/jewellery?

Thinking of ways that one dress might stand out against the others: bigger sash, sash tied differently, different neckline, maybe a sweep train, etc? Perhaps the maid of honour could wear long black gloves? Or have a black or pink wrap?

There's so many ways you could do it.

Those dresses are gorgeous - good choice.

Would you consider either of the following, to make your MOH stand out?:
- invert the colours... so the BMs have black dress with pink sash, and MOH has pink dress with black sash; or
- change the boddess on her dress so that it has sleeves?

I love the idea of different bridesmaids dresses... my bridesmaids had different colours.
Same theme - the skirts were the same shape, but boddesses were different styles depending on what suit them best. The crystals on their dresses (bronze swarovski, same as my dress) were on all their dresses. they wore the same shoes. Their hair was different too. The thing that tied them together were the flowers... and i think it looked really nice. and people still comment to this day on how different it was!! so i reckon DEFINATELY have your MOH a little different..

Try going on the Alfred Angelo website... cos you can click on a style of dress and then pick a colour and it appears (it's fun!)
i found the style you liked, put it in black... but i couldn't get the sash to go pink.... very frustrating.
i was going to post the pics for you so you can see how it looks with the inverted colours... but i couldn't get the right colours!!!
