Bridesmaid dresses..

Not at all. Accepting to be in a bridal party isn't cheap. I was in two last year and man it can get expensive. You made a generous and sweet offer to help your bridesmaid, its her choice to either accept it or not. Which dress did you go with?

View quoted message It's only one of them and I'll just pay for it because it's my fiance' s sister and he got upset that she was making a big deal and said he'll just give me money to go get it if she has a problem. And this dress is the dress.. we are having a very heavily themed wedding so not many options.
Plus the dress I choose 3 bridesmaids are already making plans about wearing it for anniversaries and Christmas parties next year so it's very versatile. Which is why I like it.
But yeah. I don't like online stores because of they are cheaper then they hand dye stuff or cut it themselves. And they will not all look the same. And it's just not what i want. And I'm offering to help pay the 250 so i don't know what more I can do.

Maybe you can look for cheaper bridesmaid dresses.I have the same plan with you,both the wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses are wore just one day,the budget must be controled,what i need is good quality but reasonably price.and mu budget about bridesmaid dresses is under 150,and my friends who was married recommended an online store : evdressau.com ,just as one reference for u,hope both of us can get our satisfied bridesmaid dresses.

My girls dresses were 269$ before alterations. Pretty average price for Ontario before alterations.

View quoted message Yeah i know. I offered for all the bridesmaids to help if they needed it. Thank you for putting it that way.

$250 is not expensive for a bridesmaid dress. My girls dresses were $225 which is also pretty average. I think that it is nice of you to want to help her out but you should also make sure it doesn't alienate your other bridal party members. You also shouldn't give up the dress you really like for them due to one person not being happy with the price.

I think you have to do what feels right for you. It's true that it isn't really fair to the other girls if you pay for one girl's dress. But I can understand wanting to be sensitive. Me and all my bridesmaids are students and are not working full time, so we're all pretty low budget. Because of this, I chose a length, a material, and a colour at David's Bridal and let them work within their budget. Obviously this is different for you if there is one particular dress you want for them.

$250 is reasonable for a bridesmaid dress. No disrespect to your friend but when you agree to be a bridesmaid, you know there is going to be some expense involved. People are aware of their financial situation and if they can't afford it then , then they should respectfully decline. I think it's nice that you decided to pay the difference. But don't start doing it for everything, because then it's not fair to the rest in your bridal party either. Just my opinion.

View quoted message No problem!! Good luck with the bridesmaid dress shopping!

View quoted message Thank you!I really appreciate that.

I totally understand people have different budget points but I'm just staying stick with your vision if that's the dress you seen in it 😊 I looked at dresses that were a bit cheaper and I thought they looked "cheap" compared to the first dress I fell in love with for them. But that's just my personal opinion! In the end, all that matters is your happy!

Honestly that is a reasonable price! My girls are spending $300 without alterations! Plus it's your day and if that's the dress you want then just tell them that.

It's 250.00Which is why I offered to pay because I know it's really expensive.

Exactly how much is it?
