maid of honor and junior bridesmaids dresses the same?
My sister will be my maid of honor, and my 2 older children will be junior bridesmaids. I want their dresses to all be the same, but I think my sister's dress should be slightly different so she can stand out a bit as the maid of honor and not feel silly wearing the same exact dress as the kids. Am I correct? The dresses I chose are satin, a-line dresses with a chiffon top. I have a dress in mind for my sister that resembles the kids dresses, but it is made of shiny satin. Does that matter? Does it really even matter if she was to wear the same thing?

Actually, your childrens' dresses should be fashioned after your Maid of Honor's dress; not the other way around. That being said, your sister's dress should definitely stand out. That could be done by having her wearing a slightly different shade of the same dress or adding a wrap to the dress.

Some brides have the MOH look different, and some have them look the same. There really isn't a right or wrong way to do it. I would suggest that if the dress that your daughters are wearing is geared to the younger side, then I would go with a slightly different style in the same or a shade darker/lighter than the other girls. So, the fact that you found the dress in a shiny satin fabric is fine. That would be perfect.
Basically, it is up to you if you want her to look different from the rest of the bridal party. Here are a few suggestions to make your MOH stand out and keeping all of the dresses the same: she can wear gloves, her flowers can be slighter larger or a different arrangement, fresh flowers in her hair, even a shawl or scarf. I hope my suggestions help, and just remember there is no right or wrong way, just do what you want on your wedding day.
