Bridesmaid Etiquette

[BridesmaidHelp]

Just wondering if it’s etiquette to pay for bridesmaid hair and make up. Wedding is on a budget and have bought their dresses which we’re custom and fit reasonably well.

If you want them to look a certain way and want them to have hair and makeup done professionally you pay. They shouldn't have to pay for anything outfit or hair/makeup wise in my opinion.

No I wouldn’t want to make them pay for anything and some of them are particular about hair

I think I’ll just sort some professional make up
Thanks everyone!

You pay if you want something specific. bought my bridesmaid's dresses, handbags, jewelry, shawls and paid for their hair to be done. They chose the way their hair was styled and chose their dresses.

They wore shoes they already owned. One bridesmaid never wears makeup due to allergies and went makeup free on the day. The other bridesmaids preferred to do their own makeup. If they had wanted it done professionally I would have paid.

I've only been a bridesmaid once and did my own make up, as did the bride.

I think it's fine to not pay for professional makeup as long as you're happy for them to do their own makeup instead or to go without.
