whilst the bridesmaids usually pay for his or her very own bridesmaid outfits, the $4 hundred value ticket is outrageous! you will possibly desire to tell her which you're keen to be a bridesmaid yet on condition that that's low-value of possibly $one hundred. Set a cut back and save on with it. If she needs hair and make as much as be completed a undeniable way, then she is in charge for that value. some brides make preparations with a salon and have the bridesmaids all meet there at as quickly as. The bride the two will pay for it up front or has the salon bill her. My lady pal works in a salon and she or he says this occurs often. the final analysis is that the bride will pay for any salon kit. you're doing her a choose by utilising being in her wedding ceremony, so she might desire to grasp your limits. do no longer permit her bully you into an outrageously high priced disaster.

That can be a very big expense. On the norm the bridesmaids usually pay for their own dress and you may as a gift for being in your wedding supply the accessories. You can offer to pay for the flower girls dress. However just like bridesmaids the mothers pay for their own dress.

Typically, the wedding party pays for their own dresses/tuxes.
However, if you have someone you want to be in your wedding party who would not be able to cover the cost of the dress/tux, or if you just really want to be generous, you can pay for the outfits.
It's also a nice thing to do (not required, but definately nice) to keep the dresses or tuxes and all other "required" purchases within a reasonable price range. Choosing dresses, jewelry, hairdo's, makeup, manicures, pedicures, shoes, and any other accessories should be reasonable -- the wedding party members should not have to choose between being your bridesmaid or paying rent.
I think it's reasonable for you to help out at your own discretion. My best friend got married and there was no way I would have been able to even travel there, not to mention pay for a bridesmaids dress and shoes. She was able to, so she paid for my travel expenses (well, not exactly -- her fiancee had tons of frequent flyer miles) and half of the cost of the dress. The other girls had no difficulty getting the money to be there. I had already told her that I was afraid I just wouldn't be able to be there for financial reasons. She never told the other girls about covering part of the cost, because she wanted me to be able to be there.

Typically, the MOH and Bmaids pay for their own dresses and shoes. I know a lot of brides will give them their day of jewelry as part of their gift. The mothers usually always pay for their own outfit and the parents of the flower girls and ring bearers usually pay for them as well. If you have the extra money and can chip in towards the dresses and whatever else, I'm sure they would appreciate it but I don't think it's at all expected. I split the cost of the flower girl dresses with my two sisters because they were already paying for their dresses and shoes, the ring bearers tuxes and the groomsmen tuxes (both of their sons and husbands were in our wedding as well).

You are not required to pay for any outfits except for your own...and possibly the outfits of your children, if you have kids of your own that will be in the wedding.
If you have the financial means to pay for your bridesmaids' dresses, It will absolutely be much appreciated. Or, if you can pay for their shoes and purses, or some other accessory as a bridesmaid's gift, that will be a good thing. If not, it is ok. You are not required to pay for any of the bridal party's attire. When a bridesmaid accepts the job, it is with the knowledge that they will have to pay for the gowns.

Everyone pays for their own outfits. The flower girls and ring bearer's parents are supposed to buy their outfits and the brides maids are supposed to buy their outfits. The mothers are supposed to wear a color that complements the wedding party and each other but they too buy their own dresses. All the ushers/grooms men buy/rent their own tuxedo.

You are not responsible for paying for any dresses but your own. When your girls accept the invitation to be a bridesmaid they accept all finacial responsibilities that go along with it, this includes their attire, lodging, travel, bridal shower, etc, expenses. I would recommend you speak with each girl privately and see what her budget is, if you ask when they are all together they may be ambarrassed to confess in front of others that they cant afford too much. After you get their answers choose a dress accordingly.

I am a professional wedding planner and this falls under the category "who pays for what?" The bride is not obligated to pay for the dresses. Usually the bridesmaids pay for their own.

You're not "supposed" to pay for anyones dresses. Each wedding I've been in, besides when my brother got married, I've paid for my dress, and the bride typically bought the jewelry go to along with it.

Traditionally the Bride pays for her dress. The Bridesmaids pay for their own atire (remember that when selecting a dres for the bridesmaids) The Groom pays for his tux (or try Al's formalwear the Groom rents free) and the groomsmen are expected to pay for their tux rentals. Flower girls, ring bearers and parents are all expected to pay for their own atire for the wedding day.
