I am a bridesmaid soon and the bride has gone to a lot of trouble to design and buy dresses. However, this is all she is buying.
We have had to buy our own shoes (which are bridesmaidy so I am unlikely to wear them again).
We are doing our own hair and makeup, which we are happy to do, but again we have to buy any accessories or makeup we need. (Again, pink blusher, which I will NEVER re-wear!)
Am I being mean?
Its just that I am not exactly well off and my sister, who is also bridesmaid is a student. She also keeps changing her mind about what she wants us to wear and my sister had ended up buying the wrong pair of shoes that she can't return. (Bride would say that the first pair are fine, but they are low heeled and my sister desperately wants high heels because she lacks confidence and thinks she's fat).
AIBU to expect the bride to buy a bridesmaid "outfit" not just a dress.

AIBU to expect the bride to pay for the whole bridesmaid outfit?
