Bridesmaids dresses - who pays?

Anything associated with weddings can be so ludicrously expensive I think everyone us trying to cut back where they can. First we looked at wed2b which r lovely dresses, my mum was willing to put £50 towards each (I have 4 bridesmaids and the dresses were £80 unaltered) so to pay a little bit I thought was acceptable. Now we have tried a multiway dress and the girls really like them and they're only £20ish each so I'm paying for them! Mums paying enough already, and I feel it is supposed to be a gift. But when the price is so high (along with everything else!) I'm sure the girls would understand helping out, especially if it's the sort of dress they can wear again. As for hair and make up we r all practicing from now and doing our own, keeping it fairly simple and watching lots of YouTube videos!

I've bought the dresses for mine. They're happy to do their own hair and makeup and supply accessories. You can pick dresses up quite reasonably. Mine were £75 each but I only have 2 bridesmaids so not too bad.

I think its entirely upto you if you want your bridesmaid to pay then best thing is to mention it and see what they say if not you could pay for them yourself but get ones that arent expensive to save on cost x💗

This is what im doing i have 4 bridesmaid im paying for the dresses and there doing the hair and makeup x

Thank you all for your advice and replies! I’ve got a rough idea on what to do and will speak to my bridesmaids x

I think it will work out well if ypu ate offering to pay for hair and makeup good luck x💗

View quoted message Thank you! Where did you get the bridesmaids dresses from please? I’m looking all over 🤦🏻‍♀️ X

They do need to have accurate measurements i did give them my daughters but it still needed to be altered a bit more x💗

View quoted message Heyy, where did you get your multi way bridesmaid dresses from? X

View quoted message I got them on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JacquelineLouisexoxo

View quoted message One of my bridesmaids ordered one off amazon to test it out, as they all live quite far apart I thought at that price they could just order their own and I would reimburse them next time we get together.

View quoted message I am obsessed with these dresses! I’ve ordered some colour samples! I think they’re just perfect!

View quoted message They are really lovely. Great quality. We've gone for the tulle ones.

View quoted message I think I’m looking at a different seller, but I just love that my bridesmaids can be comfortable and have the dresses the way they want.
As we are beginning of March I think it’ll be quite cold, so hoping everyone happy with the longer sleeve design

View quoted message Ah sorry, my mistake. Sounds like a good idea and I'm sure they'll be happy. I tried to involve mine in choosing too 🙂

View quoted message Ahh amazing, thanks so much!! Xx

View quoted message Oh no don’t apologise! I’m going to look at your seller, as they look outstanding also! Thank you

View quoted message Enjoy it all 😊
