Makeup question: is it tacky to hire one of my dream MUAH artists for myself (and maybe mom and sister), but a less expensive and more local MUAH artist for my bridesmaids and MIL/SIL? Do these vendors usually agree to a split like this?

I don't think it's tacky, but you might not meet their minimum for # of people or $ spend

Usually a HMUA will not come to your location unless they’re doing a specific minimum number of people

My MUA had a minimum number of people and an exclusivity clause.

Who’s paying for your bridesmaids/MIL/SIL? If they’re paying, maybe offer them the option of who to choose? If you’re paying, you can choose who they have.

Are you planning to get ready together (have all make up artists and wedding members in the same room)?

Just make sure you have enough to meet the minimums. Sometimes artists might not be happy you hired a separate team, so maybe ask about their policies (or use separate hotel rooms that are next to each other?), what time they can start and finish.

Often master MUA have assistants they will bring. I had your exact setup exact it was all coordinated through one company and it worked great.

The MUAs I've found ONLY want to do the bride and won't do the bridesmaids. So I have to do this

Many people have more than one artist.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
