Bridal Party Makeup/Hair question

Help!!!! ''

Should I be paying for my bridal party to get their hair/makeup done or are they responsible for paying for it on their own?

I am trying to book my hair and makeup for the day and am not sure what the protocol is for the bridal party- if they are paying I want to make sure they are comfortable with the price.

Bridal Party Makeup/Hair question

When I was in bridal parties I always paid but no Bride ever told me I had to do it...for my wedding I want a specific look so I am paying for them because if it wasn't for me being picky IDK that they would have both of these expenses

I am having my girls pay for themselves and they have the option to get their hair and makeup done on their own. They don't have to use who I am using if they don't want to, but I did make sure I used reasonably priced vendors, just in case.

Thanks ladies! I figured I would give them the option if they were paying to use whomever they wanted but just wasn't sure if I was expected to pay.

this is what im doing. all but one of my bm's decided to do both with me. i wish i could cover the cost for them, but its just not going to happen.

Re: Bridal Party Makeup/Hair question

I am not only forcing my girls to get makeup/hair but they are responsible for paying lol.

my cousin got married a few years ago and had her sister as moh. she didn't want her makeup done since she's cheap in general (moh not the bride). all the pictures she looks white as a ghost just her face. like it's obvious she's wearing makeup and it looked like a mask. it ruined most of her pictures. so after that everyone must have professional makeup. no one can do makeup like a pro can even if it looks nice in person wait until behind the flash.

I think I will offer to pay for make up. Hair, I am not as concerned about, although I may 'suggest' that they get it done. I want them all to look good and I know a good makeup artist is worth it.

I'm having hair and makeup both done at my mom's house in the morning when we're all getting ready. I'll be paying for both hair and makeup for bridesmaids, MOB, and flowergirl.

I am letting my girls choose if they want to get their hair and makeup done professionally. If they choose to, they are resonsible for paying for it.

They will be paying for both. But I am only asking them to get their hair down, makeup is an option. I also told them they could get their hair done at their salon instead of the girl who is coming to my house.

Re: Bridal Party Makeup/Hair question

Ouch. If a bride told me I *needed* to have my hair/make-up done to be in her BP, I'd say thanks but no thanks. I chose my girls not because they're models, but because I wanted them up there at the altar with me when I got married. How they'd look in photos was the last thing on my mind when I chose them.

Anyway, I didn't require it of my girls. I told them the pricing for my salon and my MUA and a few opted to have their hair and make-up done with me, others went to their people, and a few did it themselves. I couldn't afford to pay for them though, unfortunately. I wish I could've!

most of my friends I'm lucky have been in tons of weddings are used to it. the only person who hasn't loves to get her makeup done just in general because she hates doing it herself so I got really lucky. I mean if I could afford it I'd so want to pay for them but just not possible. to me makeup makes such a difference and I want all my girls to feel absolutely beautiful up there with me :)

For those paying for your girls' hair and/or makeup, are you doing it as part of their BM gift, or as an 'extra'?

I am paying for them to get their makeup done at my house with my make up lady as part of their gift. They can get their hair done by who ever they want and that is their responsibility.

I paid for my girls hair and makeup and I bought them a gift as well. I only have 2 girls in my BP though, so I could afford to do that. I also paid for my two readers to get their makeup done with us, but I didn't get them a gift on top of that.
