I finally chopped off my hair yesterday b/c this heat was getting to me....and I was talking to my hair stylist about the day of hair and who is getting it done...

Just curious...

who pays for the day of hair and what do we have to pay for exactly?

I'm thinking I'm going to pay for only hair:

1. koumbara
(which is the person doing the religious
thing in greek ceremonies)

2. Maid of Honor

3. My mother and FMIL

4. My 2 FSIL's even though they are not in the
wedding (b/c I know they are spending a lot
of money on me for the wedding...feel way
too guilty)

5. The flowergirls

Is this custom?

Hey.....I'm a greek bride as well and I am paying for my Koumbara, BM, and my mom. My FG is too young (she's only 3) and my FSIL & MIL don't live nearby. I understand where you are coming from though and I think it would be a well appreciated gesture!!

HI Im marrying a Greek - so school me please!., Koumbarri pay for church do you mean like the Stephana, Lambathes, and other church things., or the actually church fees also.??

Re: HAIR day of wedding...who pays????

They pay for the church costs too. usually that is only a couple of hundred, if that much, and they pay for the tips.

WOW good to know. Thanks.

Re: HAIR day of wedding...who pays????

I have been in many weddings and I have always paid for my OWN hair/makeup....

Re: HAIR day of wedding...who pays????

I paid for hair and makeup for myself, my mother, and FMIL; and hair for four out of five BMs. The fifth BM wanted to do her hair herself. They all did their makeup themselves.

Re: HAIR day of wedding...who pays????

my mom has already volunteered to pay for hair and makeup for the bp and my cousins nd aunt who will be in town. she says it will be a welcome treat after having to put up with me for the week before the wedding.

Re: HAIR day of wedding...who pays????

i paid for me my mom and my MOH-- just b/c they did so much for me

Re: HAIR day of wedding...who pays????

Every wedding I've been in, I've paid for my own hair. Based on that I'm making the assumption it's the BMs responsibility. If you would like to and can afford it, you can pay to have everyone's hair done.
