Okay, here's a question for all the brides and bridesmaids out there. Should you ask your bridesmaids to buy their own dresses, or is that a cost the bride should pick up? This has actually been a huge topic of debate between some of my brides lately. Some of them were firmly in the camp that said that their bridesmaids didn't ask for the extra expense, so it wasn't fair to drop it on them. Others said that since their bridesmaids were keeping the dresses, they should be the ones to buy them.
Traditionally, bridesmaids have paid for their own dresses, shoes and wedding attire. If you're going to ask your bridesmaids to buy their own dresses, however, make sure you're keeping the cost of the dress in mind. Asking your friends to pay for a $400 bridesmaid gown out of pocket that looks like it should be worn to a high school prom (and will probably never be worn again) isn't the best move you could make in terms of future friendly relations.
Not to mention the payback they're going to dish out when it's their turn at the altar!
