    we are paying for everything mainly because i am using my MO 2 daughters as flowers girls and i know they dont have much money and didn't want her to feel that she couldn't be in the roll without having to pay for it. and its a lot to ask of one person let alone 3 that i would be using in her family. So we told her that ever thing is covered in the budget. so thats dresses ,shoes, make up, nails on the day, hair circlet, socks. which also means we then have to pay for our 2 nieces to be BM as well. but l am happy with that i dont want anyone to be in finacial difficulty just because of our wedding

    we are paying for everything for them, dress, shoes, flowers, jewellery, hair and make up but we had already accounted for it in our budget they have all offered money for their dresses but we turned them down as it was in the budget i am having my bridesmaid dresses made and the lady that is making them is fantastic and only charging us £100 for the adult dresses and £60 for the little ones xx

    I'm asking because back home it's expected that the bride picks the dress, shoes, jewelry, etc and the bridesmaids pay. From reading all these responses the standard thing is to pay for anything the bride chooses. So if I choose the dress and shoes I pay for that, or if I only choose the dress I'm only expected to pay for the dress, right? I just don't want to make anyone mad because I'm not sure how to handle this.
