Hi all, need some advice please! Have any of you who have had a wedding, did you pay for your MOH’s hair and makeup? Curious on your thoughts! Thanks so much.

Yes. I am paying for all of my bridesmaids because I am asking them to take a full day to celebrate me and I want them to feel pretty in pictures

I decided not to have bridesmaids partially for this reason. I had 9 people and I couldn’t budget for that. That being said, I have paid for my own when I’ve been in weddings and I don’t mind as long as it’s optional.

Thank you ladies for your input! Really appreciate the honest insight. I am having a destination wedding and for that reason I decided not to have any bridesmaids only my MOH. Wanted to cut any extra costs for my girlfriends. So I agree that it is only right to treat my MOH to hair and makeup. Thank you all!!

I paid for one service each (either hair or makeup) for my bridal party. If they wanted they could also purchase the other service, which 3 did. The other 3 opted to do makeup themselves.

I didn’t but services were optional and I made it clear at the beginning. I did give nice bridesmaids gifts to all my girls though

I’m paying for hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and the grooms’ maid (idk what the official term is). I asked them if they wanted hair and makeup and would never dream of requiring it. It was just the right choice for me but I’ve been a bridesmaid in many weddings where hair and makeup options and requirements and who-covers-what all varied. However, I do think it’s rude when brides require it, whether they’re paying or not. Bridesmaids are your friends not your minions! So long as it’s an option and not a requirement, I don’t think any of your bridesmaids will/should care if they have to pay for hair, makeup or both.

I plan on having only a MOH so I’ll offer to pay for her hair and makeup. I’m also going to pay for my mom’s and MIL’s hair and makeup, which went into the decision of only having an MOH

Amazing! Totally agree with you on this. I will be doing the same for mom and MIL!

Follow up q… does anyone require bridesmaids to do hair and makeup and ask them to cover their costs? I’m in a wedding and I think the bride is going to do this and ask us to cover our own 😠

Give the bride a chance, but typically if it is required bride pays. Or SHOULD pay.

I did as a gift because she planned and paid in part for the bachelorette plus flew round trip twice from the other side of the country. I asked everyone if they wanted HMUA but only she said yes.
