My MOH and Bridesmaids (2) paid for their own dresses which were about $230.


I really tried to pick something out that could be worn again and I'm sure it will be.

I surprised them with paying for their hair and makeup on the day of the wedding ($100) each and I am buying jewellery for them, maybe from Swarovski or Tiffany (if the budget works).

I asked my Bridesmaid to wear a solid tropical colored dress of their choice.  some went to ebay, some got sales.... no dress was over 50 bucks.   I have them personal gifts that were wortha lot more then that.

I wasn't going to considering that I have 5 bridesmaids.. but when you sit down and think about it... You are saving ALOT of money by not having a wedding at home.. and these people are spending ALOT to be there.. so I thought in the end it was only right.

That being said I got my dresses at the Bay.. They are sundresses that the girls can wear again, and were only $130 each including tax. If they were like $300 there's no way that I could afford it..

Here's a pic..

I was worried about making my BM's pay for their dresses when they were already paying for the trip.

I got dresses at Bryan's for $15!!!!! They are going out of business and have a huge sale. That made me feel alot better considering they used to be $185.00.

My MOH and bridesmaid are paying for their own dresses, but they are $80 from Sears. I have bought their jewlery, and am planning on getting them tote bags with sunscreen, engraved travel mugs and whatever else I can think of/afford. I know they are paying a lot to go, but with us doing a reception when we get back I cant possibly afford the extra expense.
