So I've just seen the thread about buying BMs shoes or asking them to buy their own and what's the right etiquette and it's got me a bit worried about what I was planning on doing.
A bit if background first - I'm the first of my friends to get married and the first in my family for quite a while! I have 4 adult bridesmaids, 1 of which is my sister and the other 3 my childhood friends.
I have asked my bridesmaids to each buy a navy dress, and sent them some colour samples to approximately match. They chose knee length as a collective so they will also have that in common. I really want mismatched BMs for a variety of reasons and am happy with this. However, now I'm questioning if we should be paying for their dresses? It hadn't really occurred to me but is that the norm?
So what are you buying for your BMs? I was planning on paying for their hair and make up and nails if they'd like these done but presumed they'd pay for their own dresses and shoes! Am I wrong and should I offer to pay for their dresses?
