About Miss Oatmeal

You may remember when I wrote about our wedding colors: navy, yellow, and gray. Here they are again.

Anyway, Miss PD just posted about different ways of setting her MOH apart from her other bridesmaids. This was something we wanted to do early on but couldn’t quite put our finger on how we were going to accomplish it. As a reminder, my girls will be in navy dresses and yellow shoes, both of their choice. So, we were bouncing around a few options for a distinct MOH, such as:

A patterned navy dress:

A navy and white dress:

We even thought about having her wear a different-colored pair of shoes to help her stand out. But what did we ultimately decide on?

A completely different color for her dress! Gray, to be exact.

MOH found it online, and we moseyed on over to Banana this last weekend so she could try it on. Unfortunately, the only color available to try on was purple. But it looks fantastic on her, don’t ya think? Try your best to envision it in gray!

She went right home and ordered it off their website! I can’t wait to see it on her in gray with some super cute yellow shoes. Isn’t she the cutest MOH ever? I’m pretty excited about the dress; I think it looks fantastic on her, and it helps accomplish our mismatch-y wedding theme!

Did you do anything to set apart your most special lady?

The dress is adorable. Where were you able to get the round color swatches that you displayed? I’m trying to find something to keep as a reference.

@Charcole2011: Not wrong one bit. Go get it!

@thefuturemrs.o: Oh girl, it’s super complicated. KIDDING. I literally made colored circles in Microsoft Paint :)

We didn’t do anything special for the MOH, but since I only have three on my side our party is pretty small. I would definitely consider if the party was larger.

Really cute! I love the idea of getting bridesmaid dresses from stores other than traditional bridal shops!
