Who pays for bridesmaid dress

The bridesmaid!

In North America the bridesmaids but in the UK is seems the bride. Discuss a budget with them individually and find a dress in the smallest budget

The bridesmaid pays. Try to keep in mind the cost when picking out a gown.

Depends on what you want. I've always bought my dress when I was a bridesmaid, but I'm paying for my sister's dress as Matron of Honour. That's just how it worked out for us and I'm not asking her to pay me back.

I asked my bridesmaids what they were comfortable spending and found dresses in their budget but they are paying for it.

I will be paying for their hair and make up and they'll be paying for the dresses and accessories

My bridesmaids are paying for their dresses which they are all comfortable with. Because these dresses are $175 (I think they're a little pricier) I'm not asking them to have their hair and makeup done professionally. I will have two hair stylists at my hotel for anyone who wants to get it done and if they want it done they will pay for that as well. As for shoes, I just asked they find a nude shoe, heels, flats, something they already own, whatever. I'm not particular since the dresses are long. Because the dress was in budget for them I didn't want to ask them to pay for a lot more so I'm not requiring anything else.

The bridesmaid. Establish a comfortable budget with your maids before picking a dress for them to purchase. If you're lucky, you can all go shopping together and see what dresses look good on each of them.

Depends on you. I paid for all my bridesmaids dresses. They didn't ask to be in my wedding.

I've been in weddings where it goes either way. We chose to have a smaller wedding party so we could pay all wedding related expenses for them (including their attire).

In from the UK but never heard of the bride paying! Maybe it's a regional thing.

Usually the bridesmaids pay however I will be offering to pay for my girls as they are all flying from the UK to the US to even attend the wedding so I'm already asking so much of them

Bridesmaids

There can be some regional or cultural things, but I agree with everyone else saying that it's normal for bm's to pay.

It seems like the norm is for bridesmaids to pay. I get annoyed every time I have to purchase a $200 dress that I'm never going to wear again, so I'm purchasing my bridal party's dresses, makeup, and jewelry.

I paid for my bridesmaid but that was because she was the only one in my party girl wise

I paid for my bridesmaids bc they're traveling out of state, when I was in my MOHs out of state wedding I paid for my dress.

The bridesmaid dp.

I'm purchasing the dress, shoes, and accessories for my maid of honor. She will be my only attendant. I figure with the costs of coming from out of state (she lives in WA, wedding is in CA) it's only right that I do what I can to help.

The bridesmaid

Our bridal party paid for all their outfits, however we kept it as simple and cheap as possible for them! The girls spend $60 on their dress that can always be worn again (not like 27 dresses worn again, they're basically a simple red maxi dress) and the boys rented a vest for $45 and wore nice jeans and a button up shirt they already had. There is no sense in them paying an arm and a leg for something they won't wear again, which is why we tried to keep it as simple and cheap as possible for them!
