Who Pays for the Bridal and Bridesmaids Makeup?

December 7, 2023

Title: Makeup Mayhem: Decoding the Wedding Beauty Budget

Getting ready for the big day and figuring out a Beauty Budget can be challenging especially with the burning question on every Bride’s mind: Who foots the bill for the fabulousness that is bridal and bridesmaid makeup?

The Bride's Dilemma

Navigating wedding expenses is like playing financial Tetris, and makeup is an important piece. Do brides traditionally cover the cost, or do they pass the beauty baton to their bridesmaids?

The Bridal Beauty Budget Breakdown

Here's the scoop: while brides often pay for their own makeup magic, it's becoming a trend to share the sparkle. Some brides go half-and-half, ensuring everyone looks photo ready without maxing out the bridal budget. A great option.

Bridesmaids: Glam Squad MVPs?

Let's not forget the unsung heroes of the bridal party—the bridesmaids. Do they open their wallets for the glam squad, or is it a generous gift from the bride? The beauty truth: it varies. Some brides cover the glam as a token of gratitude, while others enlist bridesmaids as co-investors in the beauty adventure.

SEO Bonus: Makeup, Moolah, and Matrimony

Whether you're the bride-to-be or a makeup-savvy bridesmaid, understanding the makeup moolah dynamics is hard to navigate. From bridal beauty budget hacks to bridesmaid beauty bargains, we're decoding the dollars and cents of wedding day glam.

The Bride and I will always work out a beauty plan of action from the timeline to payment so everyone is on the same page and it doesn’t have to be a stressor on a wedding day!
