When it comes to your wedding what are brides expected to pay for for their braidesmaids?

Question

So should I just tell them how much the hairdresser is that I booked for the day and all?!?!!? and they pay for their own nails?

by the way this is America so cannot FORCE anyone to do anything lol
Just gonna suggest we get our hair and nails done together for fun (they have brought it up themselves)

Answer 1

Actually, it should be know by them that they pay for everything, unless you decide that you want to pay for something yourself. If any of them are questioning this fact, just explain that you are not able to pay(due to cost of wedding, etc.) and you thought they understood that at the time you asked them to be in your wedding.
Of course the bride always gives them a small gift of some type. My Daughter is getting married in Dec. and she bought the jewelry for them so they would all have the same. (Does NOT have to be expensive) just tasteful and what you want them to wear. CONGRATULATIONS! The best of luck.

Answer 2

just a gift for each of the girls for being in the wedding. It can be a personal individual gift or all the same, such as earings. As well as the flowers that they will be carrying down the asile.
Thats all.
You need to make sure that they know that you are not going to be paying for anything else, just tell them how much the dresses will be and they will get the hint.

Answer 3

If you want them to use a specific hair dresser and wear a specific style, you should pay for it. If you want their nails done, you should pay for it. You have to trust that your maids are capable of doing their own hair and make up and keeping their nails clean if not painted or wearing tips. If you want them to look like YOU want them to look, you should pay for those expenses. As a gift I'm giving my girls a spa day the morning of (wedding at 4:30) complete with facials and nails. I trust that they are capable of doing their own hair and I have no requirements for that so if they go to a salon, they will have to pay for it.

Answer 4

Okay, this really depends on what you expect them to have done.

For example, if you tell them that they must get their hair professionally done, and that it must be at this particular place, then you should pay for it. Especially if you also say the style that they must get. If you leave the option to them as to whether they get their hair professionally done (some are quite good at it themselves, particularly if they're wearing it down), where they go to get it professionally done, and how they wear it, then they pay for it.

The same goes with the nails. If you're requiring professional manicures, then you need to pay for it.

Answer 5

Bride buys wedding gifts for her attendants and the groom

Attendants Best man and/or ushers host the bachelor party maid of honor and/or bridesmaids host a bridal shower and may host a girls' night out maid of honor and bridesmaids pay for their dresses and accessories (shoes, too)

Answer 6

They should know they need to pay for their dress and shoes, but I think if you are MAKING them get their nails and hair done, you should pay for that. They could do their own hair and nails and have them look just as good and it would be free.....

Answer 7

You shouldn't force them to get their hair & nails done by a pro. If you are, you should pay.

Answer 8

They just pay for their gifts for being in the wedding

Answer 9

A bridesmaid gift and thier bouquets. Traditionally bridesmaids have to buy the dresses you pick out.

Answer 10

you pay for nothing unless you are doing it as a gift to them for being in the wedding. it is the bridesmaids/maid of honors responsibility to pay for their dress, shoes, etc. for me, my bridesmaid and maid on honor paid for their own dress and shoes. i bought them jewelry to go with the dresses as a gift to them for being in the wedding. oh, yes, you also pay for their bouquets.
