Bridal party 101 : What do Bridesmaids pay for?

Today we are going to be talking about bridesmaids and their financial responsibilities. Asking your closest friends to be involved in your day is a pretty special moment. After all, these are the people standing by your side throughout one of the most memorable days of your entire life!

We know money talk can be a touchy subject. So it's important to be honest about what you´re expecting from your bridal party. If you´re gracious and understanding about the situation, your girls will follow suit! 

As a bride you are expected to pay for the bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, and other floral arrangements. The bride doesn´t make the bridesmaids pay for their own bouquets, you can consider them your gift to them. 

If you want your bridesmaids to have professional hair and makeup done , the bride is usually the one to pay for that. Or you can give them the option to do their own hair and makeup themselves or they pay the makeup artist they prefer. 

Bridesmaids pay for their own dresses, shoes and accessories.

The bridal shower should be covered by whoever is hosting the party. Your maid of honor and the bridesmaids usually do or the bride's family. 

The bachelorette party is all up to your girls, they are a in charge of your last nights of single fun ! You just have to have fun. 

It's important for the bride to communicate clearly with her bridesmaids about any expectations regarding expenses, and to be considerate of their budgets when making choices. Flexibility and open communication can help ensure that everyone involved feels comfortable and valued throughout the wedding planning process.
