No bridesmaids to save money?

Hi wondering if anyone has not had bridesmaid to keep wedding cost down? We are looking for ways to cut the cost, up to now we have took wedding favours off and button holes. I would like to have bridesmaids but it would end up costing roughly £500 just for their dressers.

    I had 10 bridesmaids and their dresses were £11.25 each in the sale from ASOS and their sandals £8 in the sand from Boohoo. It doesn’t have to cost a lot and you could hack just one I’d twoNo bridesmaids to save money? 1

    Also their single white roses tied with organza were £4.50 each from a florist so you can keep costs down

    You could ask your bridesmaids to wear clothes of their choice, so that you don't have to pay for matching dresses - more sustainable anyway, since you're not paying out for a load of dresses that will probably never be worn again.

    And as @Marcie says, you could just do a single flower/ribbon for them - if you buy a supermarket bunch of flowers to split between them instead of ordering from a florist, it would work out even cheaper! I had a friend who got married in spring who bought bunches of supermarket daffodils & wrapped the stems with a ribbon - it cost about £1.20 per bridesmaid!
