Yes, if she is expecting you to purchase it. My girlfriend purchased our dresses for her wedding. I didn't care if it looked like a flamable mess, it wasn't my day it was hers.

Expensive Bridesmaid Dresses

You didnt say the price so I am unsure what you consider expensive. On average, most dresses run from around $150-200. Almost all the time you have to pay half down when you order a dress and the other amount when you pick your dress up in about 3 months. Sometimes you can find dresses off the $99 rack but they are arent as pretty. If the other girls in the party agree with you, then you should all talk to the bride. She maybe be looking at the style and not the price tag. But, if you are the only one concerned about the price see if your parents (not sure on your age), spouse or boyfriend can help out with the cost. If you feel realy comfortable, talk to her. maybe she will be willing to help with the expense some on the dress perhaps?
I agree that the dresses should not be expensive since you are also out money to get your hair done, shoes and etc for that big day also.

Well really it depends on the price. What one person considers expensive another thinks is reasonable.
Is she paying for it or are you?
If you are paying and and all the maids are in accordance then together tell the bride that you simply can't afford it. Maybe she will contribute to the cost or change her selection.
I would say to her that the dresses are lovely, but at the moment your finances simply cant cover the cost. You want to be in the wedding party, but might have to pull out because of the expense. If she is a true friend she will understand.

I had this same problem for my wedding in Sept 2007. I had 2 bridemaids and they did nothing but complain to my mum as they were her friends but mine as well. They told me 3 weeks b4 my wedding that they can't be in the wedding cause they couldn't afford the dresses....way too late to be finding this out. All they had to do is come to me earlier and explain that they couldn't afford those dresses and maybe look else where but they had to do it the hard way and that put my stress levels through the roof and affected my health. Though my bridesmaids lied to me...they had the money but what to buy things that they found more important than my wedding.

a) they do no longer think of they are gruesome on the time. b) All bridesmaid's clothing are high priced. Weddings are vast employer. c) The bride in no way wears the marriage costume the two. it is merely area of life. while do people ever circulate to fancy events that choose that variety of costume? d) it is not honest or unfair. It merely is. it is probable unfair for businesses to can charge a lot for wedding ceremony clothing often yet it extremely is merely the way it relatively is.

Maybe? She should have asked for your input before she picked them, so im sorry that she didnt.
I told my bridesmaids up front that they would have to pay for their dresses and asked them if that was OK with them and how much they were willing to pay. They all said about 150 and we ended up going in to the shop and I picked the color and told them they could pick any dress in that color. Then they all found stuff they could wear again and could afford.

You could let her know, but that doesn't mean anything will change. When you agreed to be a bridesmaid, you were agreeing to buy the dress. I will tell you one thing. I would rather pay $200 for a dress that was comfortable to wear all night, then pay $100 for a dress that had wires poking and chafing me, that had no liner between the netting/crinoline and my legs and that I wanted to take off the minute I put it on.

who's paying for them, you or her? If she is then it shouldn't matter.
But if you have to buy it and can't afford it....that's another story.
