Is it the ';norm'; for the bride to provide a hairstylist and make up artist for the bridal party?

I was wondering what others are doing with the bridal party as far as make up and hair styling?Is it the ';norm'; for the bride to provide a hairstylist and make up artist for the bridal party?
If you're requiring that they have their hair/makeup professionally done, then you need to pay. If it's an option, you don't have to pay. Either way, it's nice to give your maids that little extra! :-)





That being said, I definitely didn't have the money to pay for my girls. I let them know that I was booking someone to come to the house, and I'd set the appointment for them as well, if they wanted. OR they could go to someone of their choice, or they could do it themselves. I wanted them to do what was comfortable for them.Is it the ';norm'; for the bride to provide a hairstylist and make up artist for the bridal party?
Its the brides show, her makeup her hair style.
It is normal to schedule the hairstylist and makeup artist to come to the bride's home and do the bridal party's makeup and hair. The issue comes about when it comes time to who is to pay for the services.





If you tell your bridal party that because of your budget you will not be able to pay for these services for them, then they should understand. Tell the bridal party that the services are available for anyone who wishes to pay for them and they are not madatory so that anyone who can't pay for them doesn't have to get their hair or makeup done by the people you hired.





If you have the money than it would be the nice thing to do, but again not mandatory.
I've beenin 3 weddings- once the bride paid for hair, makeup and nails, once I paid for hair and did my own makeup, and the third time the bride paid for hair and I did my own makeup
i had a friend that did my hair and she was willing to do any of the girls hair too at no charge as a gift to me. (she is a hair stylist). i let the girls decide how the wanted their hair and makeup. 2 of my girls decided not to have my friend do their hair (mu husbands sisters).





i'm in one of his sisters wedding this year and she is having someone come to the room to do hair, it's going to cost us an extra $45 . she is not requiring it but i feel that she expects it. personally i find this kind of rude to expect us to pay for that, we are already paying for the dresses and shoes, plus we have to travel to go to her wedding (everyone does, they picked a location that is at least 1 hour away from everyone on the guest list)





i think if you want professional hair, makeup, nails, anything like that then you should pay up and make it part of your thank you gift to them. i also feel that if you pick out a really expensive dress you should pay for all or some of it. i think a lot of brides try to get a more expensive looking wedding by having their wedding party pay for more expensive things, while they cut cost on everything that they are paying for.





my dresses cost $110, we paid $40 of that. i bought all of the accesories, and had no requirements on shoes, hair , and makeup. i tried to be considerate that it is expensive to be in a wedding.
I'm leaving it up to the girls. I've been in a wedding where the bride picked the hairstyle (looked awful on me and was expensive), another where we went to get our hair done but in a style of our choice, and one where the bride told us to be ready for pictures at three and that was it! I definitely preferred the last one because it didn't add any extra expense or pressure for the day.
If the bride wants a specific hairstyle for the bridal party, she should at least have a picture of it so maybe the girls can go to a hairstylist of their choice. But then they might not look the same. What brides mostly do is they pick a hairstyle and a hairstylist they want, and the girls have to hash out the cash. Another popular thing now is to let them choose the hairstyle they wish to have. It all depends on what you want to do!





The same goes for makeup.
It's not something that is required but it's definitely a nice gesture.





I'll be covering my bridesmaids hair but we'll be doing our own make up.
For my wedding I had a hair stylist and make up artist come into the hotel we were getting ready at. I paid for the cost as an additional gift and thank you for the girls. It was expensive but I was happy I was able to do it. Really I think that its whatever you want and/or can afford.
I already worked out my hair do with my stylist. I'm letting the bridesmaids pick out the style they want because they're paying. I'm having a friend who does Avon doing our makeup because I don't wear it often and i want it too be perfect.
yes
