Makeup or hair for bridesmaids

Jessica, 13 January, 2025 at 16:34 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 3
Hi everyone, i’m currently planning my August 2026 wedding and we are trying to do it as budget as possible. I’m having 4 bridesmaids and have received a lot of quotes for hair and makeup for myself and bridesmaids and have realised just how much it costs for all! I’m thinking of paying for either hair or makeup but i’m wondering which one, or do i give them the option of which they’d like done? has anyone else done this before? Thank you!

    The general rule in the UK is that you need to pay for things you are specifically requesting. So if you want all your bridesmaids to wear makeup and have their hair done a specific way, then you need to pay for it, if you are happy for them to do whatever they want with their own hair/makeup, then you don't.

    If you want a cohesive look, I'd probably pay for them to get their hair done and they can then either pay for their own makeup to be done, do it themselves or just go without. Most people who wear makeup regularly are used to applying it, but not so many people are used to putting their hair up in formal styles, so this might be trickier for them to manage on their own.

    Personally I am just paying for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids as a treat/thank you/pamper session - I am not requiring a specific style or look for them. However, if your budget does not stretch to it, just pay for yourself to be done and allow your bridesmaids to fix themselves up as they prefer. If you are going for either hair or makeup, I think you notice hair more than you do makeup on wedding photos, so maybe do that?
