Is this too much to ask for?

Is this too much to ask for?

Is a price of $216.00 (including tax) for long chiffon bridesmaid gowns too much to ask for the girls to pay? I dont know on average how much bridesmaids spend on gowns...If anyone feels comfortable-could you girls share how much your bm gowns are?
any input appreciated!!!! Thank you xoxo!!!

That's how much I paid when I was a bridesmaid. I think its fine..My girls are paying $200 for a short dress

I think that is just fine. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding this summer, and I think anything under $300 is pretty reasonable. The dresses that I am looking at for my bridesmaids are floor length and range from $180 to about $250.

That sounds reasonable. Most of the dresses im looking at range from $150-225.. I may end up using David's Bridal, so the cost will def go down. But the price itself seems completely fair to me.

I don't think that's too much. I've been in a ton of weddings and I've spent between $150-200, so that's fair.

If you're worried that it's too much or you get some groans from your girls, maybe you can purchase their day of jewelry or purchase a gift cert. towards getting their hair/makeup done that day?

I've paid that plus on bridesmaids dresses. I don't think it's unreasonable at all.

Phheewwwwww.....
thank you SO much girls. You have no idea how much ive been stressing myself out about this lol. I really cant find anything i like lower than this price. I plan of getting them jewelry & a gift- a little makeup and probably a custom name hanger.
Thanks sooo much again

That's about what my girls paid for theirs. Before we ordered I made sure everyone was comfortable with the price. If this is the one you like and everyone else does, I'm sure it's fine to order.

I think its a lil on the expensive side. I got my long chiffon dresses for $160. Check out Bridal Elegance.

That sounds about right in price, it is what mine was for my BM dresses and what I have paid in the past.

I don't think that is too much to ask for. I've paid between $250-$300 on dresses when I was a BM.

I think that is a reasonable price. I've been seeing dresses for my bm 180 to 235. But I just found one I love for 179. I believe people know that dresses are expensive but I think they would appreciate if you ask them.

Hah my girls dresses were $62 and don't need alterations bc they are convertible. I'm just making it part of their gift. Is that tacky??

I dont think its too much to ask for, but everyone is different and maybe you would like to speak with them and make sure everyone could afford it. The dresses I picked were 210 and all my girls were ok with it but I made sure to speak with them on price points before we started looking

I don't think so... but maybe run it by them first?
