Bridesmaids? What have you bought

I am paying for their dresses, shrug and hair accessories. I had planned to pay for their shoes but 2 of them flatly refused to take the money, so I'm adding that to their gift budget. Plan to get them bracelets and jewellery boxes as presents. Might also get them all a lip gloss for the day that I can use at any point! We are staying at my mum's the night before so no need for a hotel. I'm not having hair and makeup professionally for myself so not for them either. However, they are welcome to use anything I've splurged on beautywise for myself.

For FG have got dress, cardi, bag and shoes.

However, my MOH is getting married next month and I'm a bridesmaid. She has paid for dresses, shoes, hair accessories, necklaces and hotel the night before. Our shoes are part of our present as they are really nice carvela shoes.

I think it depends on your budget, how much control you want and ages of your bridesmaids. All mine are able to afford the shoes and hotel of the night of the wedding so I don't feel too bad making them pay for that. However, if they were younger and not in work I'd feel very differently.

HTH!!

Thank you they are both the same age as me I just didn't know what to do regarding hair and make up

Love the lip gloss idea nothing like a good Lancôme juicy tube xx

I must be a cheapskate. I've paid for their dresses and their bouquets.

They all have different dress styles (same material & colour) so have said they can any shoes they want as long as same colour. I was thinking about getting them braclets but they all have different taste.

As gifts have bought them personalised spa set which includes slippers and towers.

I have bought dresses and shoes and their bouquets. As far as hair and make up they are paying for themselves (I have 4 so can't really afford to!) however we are all having it done together.

I haven't really thought about gifts yet......... i was thinking jewellery to wear on the day?!

See my mum is paying for their dresses so I'm paying for their hair and make-up as my gift to them really!

and seen as my niece in law to be is doing my make-up for free its not too bad!

I forgot about the flowers I've got them as well

I am paying for dresses, hair and shoes.

Oh and flowers. I'm not buying gifts.

I'm paying for their dresses, shoes, flowers, hair and make up and for gifts they are having their jewelery and hair accessories.

Oh so now I look awful! I have paying for half the dress dress, bouquet and jewellery.

I am only pay half for the dresses as we want them to be able to wear them again so that was my idea. Shoes they both wanted to pay for their own as the will be having different shoes and well they will wear them again.

Haven't got a clue on what to buy them as presents or whether to say the jewellery is their present? They will also get the table decoration along with our parents and our grandparents.

I've bought their dresses for them, bought them flowers and gifts. They will buy their own shoes and Hair. As I'm a nail technician and beauty therapist myself I'll do their nails and make up for them.

Oh gosh, I must be the cheapest bride ever. I'm buying their bouquets, am offering to buy their shoes (they are buying own dresses and keeping them)if they will accept them (they know the tight budget).

I am also in process of making them a gift bag, necklace for on the day, plus a card and maybe lip gloss etc.

I'm not paying for their hair or make-up, although I did offer, but they refused and said between us all, we would manage each others etc.

Recently I was bridesmaid for my friend and she made all us bridesmaids a gift bag with galaxy chocolate, a personalised pic card with the bride and bridesmaid (everyone's was different) with poem inside and a me2u bear bridesmaid photo holder, and a handmade wooden heart with thanks for being bridesmaid on it, she had also got us a bracelet and given to us in the morning so we weren't expecting anything the gift bag was lovely

For my bRidesmaids I have got them purple Swarovski earrings the go with dress and have got them my beautiful bridesmaid journals that I will fill with pictures and messages to give them at speeches, they are from oh so cherished and so gorgeous!

I'm paying for their dresses, shoes and accessories and flowers. I will get them a present but not sure what yet. Unsure what to do about the hait and make up yet. Im def paying for the hair but might ask them to do their own make up to try and save some money xx

I am paying for the dresses, shoes (Half price next sale bargain!) and flowers. Maybe accessories if I find something that I particularly want them to have. Their hair & make etc is completely out of my budget. Thinking about doing them a gift bag too!

Nothing so far. All four bought their own dresses and shoes. My mum is paying for the hairdresser to come and do all of our hair I think. Make up being done by ourselves. I will be buying them some jewellery as a present.

We've paid for their jewellery, dresses and bouquets and make up, they are paying for their shoes, hair (if they don't want to do it themselves) and accomodation.

We are going to pay for dresses, shoes, jewellery, hair and makeup.

I'm stupid and have 6 BM's !! 3 little ones and 3 adult ones. Littles ones I've got there dress, but will be getting there shoes and clip for there hairs (means we can do there hair ourselves) and jewellery, the 3 adults, getting dresses, shoes, jewellery and possibly hair depending on cost. They are paying for there own dress alterations apart from OH daughter. All the flowers as well! All will get what they are wearing for there gift.
