Wedding party hair and makeup

It's different for everyone and what's in their budget. You can as a gift. I'm just paying for their makeup and lashes.

I don’t have a bridal party but I’m paying for MOB, MOG, future stepdaughter and DOC(best friend) to get their hair and nails done. It’s a gift from me to them.

I just hired my hair and makeup and asked each of my bridesmaids if they wanted the services and i made them aware of the prices
I will not be paying for the bridesmaids, its not in my budget and none of them expect me to pay for them
Id say you should only pay if you make it mandatory they get hair and makeup or if you require a certain look. Or if its in your budget-but they can be pretty pricey

If you are requiring them to have it done, you would need to pay. If you would like to and can afford to gift those things to your attendants that would be fantastic. I am making it clear to my bridesmaids that I am going to have my hair and makeup done as I am helpless with these things, but I can check with her and see how much it would be if they would like to have theirs done. I told them I wish I had it in my budget to pay for them, and that if they are comfortable doing their own hair and make up that was just fine with me.

I think it's different for everyone. My best friend is getting married in June and she said about splitting the price of our hair and makeup and we pay half and she pays half. I'm hoping to have a family member do my hair and make-up, along with my mom's and my moh and the flower girl's, which I'll pay.

I’m paying for the makeup for my girls. It’s a gift to them (and me because it’s for our wedding photos, lol). I have five bridesmaids and one is a makeup artist; three other girls only wear chapstick. If I didn't create a cohesive look, I think the lack of makeup on some bridesmaids and the overly done look of other bridesmaids would be too distracting. I offered and they all agreed to getting their makeup done.

It was much more expensive than I expected though. Me + mother of bride + 5 bridesmaids = 😭😭😭 but it'll be worth it.

I'm planning on paying for my bridesmaids hair and makeup. I'm newly engaged so I haven't priced this out yet but estimate it will be a lot based on seeing prices online. Yikes. I want to do it though since my wedding will be a destination wedding that requires travel and other expenses for my bridal party. I see it as a gift to them and to me (pretty pictures lol).

If you have it in your budget by all means it would be very much appreciated by your wedding party. I am getting both my hair and make up professionally done but I did not require my bridesmaids to do so therefore if the wanted one of the two services they had to pay for it. One bridesmaid didn't book for either service and the other bridesmaid just booked for make up.

If you are requiring them get professional HAMU then you should pay for it. If it’s not in the budget, don’t require it.

I think it’s a nice gift to the bridesmaids to be pampered. I talked to mine and they were ok with getting it done professionally so I’ll be covering the cost of HAMU for the bridal party.

If you require they get it professionally done, then you should. If you require a certain look or style, then you should. If it's optional and they can do their own (and style however they want), then you don't have to. I think it's a nice thing to pay for everyone, but obviously that's not within everyone's budget.

Totally agree!

If it is a required, you should pay or at least offer to split it.

I bought my girls their dresses, and their hair is being done by my uncle and a few of the girls from his shop for free. Makeup is something that I am paying for myself, mother, and MIL. If my girls want theirs done, they are paying for it.
