What does the bridal party usually pay for?

I know it depends, but I'd love to know what the bridal party usually pays for and what the couple usually pays for when it comes to outfits and any other expenses. Thank you!

Hi lovely,

This honestly varies!

We have had instances where bridal parties pay for a portion of their outfit for the day, the whole outfit or have been gifted the outfit by the bride.

We also have found that bridal showers, bridal shower gifts and wedding gifts are often the most commonly paid for items that a bridal party will pay for.

However depending on a bride and grooms budget there have been instances where the bridal party pay for or chip in for the hair and makeup on the day, wedding day transportation and accomodation (particularly if a destination wedding).

We recommend reviewing your budget and having an open discussion with your bridal party to see what they would feel most comfortable with doing. 

We hope this helps.

All the best,

Team Esther. xx
