Make Your Maid of Honor Special

The maid of honor is a very important part of a wedding. She is the top honor attendant, and as such is often dressed or accessorized in a way that sets her apart from the rest of the bridal party. These are some ways to make your honor extra special for your wedding.

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to distinguish your maid of honor is by selecting special attire for her. If the rest of your bridesmaids will be wearing the same dress, select one for your maid of honor which is similar, but not the same. For instance, your bridesmaids could wear an A-line dress and your maid of honor could wear the same style and color with a fuller skirt. Or keep the cut of the skirt the same, but choose a different neckline for your best girl. If the bridal party wears strapless gowns, your honor attendant can be clad in a beautiful portrait neckline dress to set her apart.

It is customary for the bride to give her wedding party sets of bridesmaid jewelry as their wedding gifts. Part of the tradition is to treat the maid of honor with a gift which is similar, but a bit more special. Let’s say that you have decided to give your attendants crystal earrings and necklaces for their bridesmaid jewelry sets; splurge on your maid of honor by treating her to the matching bracelet as well. The idea is something which is similar, but extra special, just as your head attendant is extra special.

Flowers can be another way to show the prominence of your chief bridesmaid. Typically, the bride’s bouquet will be larger and more costly than the ones she has made for her wedding party. As a way to distinguish your maid of honor, make her bouquet somewhere in between for size. You might also choose to have her flowers more similar to your own. Of course, whatever you opt to do for the ceremony, she will already be set apart in the way which matters the most: the honor of being asked to be your maid of honor.
