Congratulations on the proposal! Tell the world that “We’re engaged!” Stare at the engagement ring and post lots of photos on the proposal on social media.  Contemplate the many wonderful days ahead of you. Kiss and hug each other a thousand more times. Bask in the moment and make your engagement special.
After the joy and thrill have sunk in, it’s time to plan your wedding!  Planning your wedding is a mammoth task, especially if you are hoping to have a fairytale-like wedding. Family members and friends have advice and opinion. If you were to read just half the books, web sites, etc. written in the last decade about wedding etiquette and protocol, you’d be reading and planning for months on end! Different races have different custom and traditional practice. From the altar to the wedding banquet, what to wear, what your bridesmaids should wear, who should pay for what, establishing your bridesmaids’ responsibilities, among others.
Outfitting the bridesmaids comes with cost and who shells out for their attire? The lines can sometimes get a little blurry!  Is the bride responsible for purchasing all of the bridal party dresses, or do the bridesmaids buy their own dresses? What about the alteration costs—or what if one of the bridemaids doesn’t have the budget for the gown? Where should you shop for your bridesmaid dresses – online or from brick and mortar bridal shops?
Typically, bridesmaids are expected to pay for their own dresses and accessories, as well as hair and makeup appointments and transportation to the wedding. As a bride, if you’re asking your friend to be your bridesmaid then the chances are you want them to be assisting and chaperoning you on your big day. So forking out some money for that shouldn’t be an issue. It’s also a gesture of your appreciation to them for their time, help and friendship.
If the bride can afford to, it’s a very thoughtful gesture for her to pay for the dress or a portion of the cost for each of her bridesmaids. These days more brides are paying for their bridesmaid dresses, especially if they pick a more expensive dress for their bridesmaids to wear.
