Now don't jump down my throat girls but my bm's paid $280 for their dresses and I absolutely love them. I asked all of them if it was ok and no one seem to have an issue. I wasn't going to settle on something I wasn't crazy about and I love this dress.

Of course I am giving them all really nice gifts (kate spade bags) but I am trying to save enough money to pay for their hair and/or makeup bc then at least thats one less thing they have to pay for. Maybe you can do something like that, because even if you found a dress for $200 but they still had to get their hair done, they would still be shelling out $280-$300ish.



I agree. I asked my girls if they minded spending about $270, and they said no. I am letting them wear their own shoes (as long as they're silver), and I am not making them get their hair or make up done (of course they CAN, I'm just not saying they have to, or that they have to go to my girl). I think it depends on them.



I'm doing the same exact thing. Their dresses were $260 (without alterations yikesssssss) and none of them had a problem (to my face)... but also i have only 1 friend in the BP and the rest are family....



I am doing the same thing - my girls dresses were $254 w/o tax and alterations. I will be paying for their hair and makeup...and I might be paying for their shoes or allowing them to wear whatever shoes they want (also as long as they are silver)...

I think you should ask your girls. I have spent alot on bridesmaid dresses and dont mind it but thats me. I would ask and see what they feel would work best for them.

Honestly, if you all go above and beyond for one another then I think it'll probably be fine....If it makes you feel better to slip them $50 each then do that!! I'm sure they wouldn't mind it. My BM dresses were originally 295 and I actually was able to talk them down to giving them to me for $250, but all the girls are my sister, 7 cousins and 2 BF's. Honestly, I feel like most BM dresses run in the 200's and most people know that.
