It is customary that the bridal party pay for their own attire. Always remember that just because they are paying for it, does not give you the freedom to pick out a $400 Vera Wang dress. When you’re shopping with your bridesmaids ask them if they are comfortable with the price of the dress you are considering. It is also a nice idea, when picking out the dress your bridal party will be buying, that you pick a dress they can wear again. Try to keep the dress in a style that is flattering to all the girls in your bridal party.

Your wedding dress is possibly the most expensive article of clothing you will ever purchase. You spent months shopping for the perfect dress and weeks researching/selecting the perfect seamstress to alter it. You were referred to the perfect cleaners to stream your dress, you entrusted your dearest friend/maid of honor (MOH) with picking up your dress and bringing it to the hotel. Your MOH was extremely careful, placing the pristine dress in the car and carrying it up the hotel elevator to your room. She hung it up on the back of the door and opened the bag in preparation of your final inspection of the cleaner’s handy work. Just as your faithful MOH was removing the bag, her lips brushed against the dress. Today is the day she decided to try out that new shade of red lipstick. OMG!
It’s your big day and excitement surrounds the atmosphere around you as you prepare to walk down the aisle. With glowing eyes upon you, somehow you’ve managed to overcome the nervousness in your knees and reach the altar. In the midst of finally saying: “I do,” a cell phone rings and you can hear your favorite Kelly Clarkson song blasting on your cousin’s brand new Blackberry.
