Let me preface by saying I have 10 bridesmaids. I cannot afford to pay for all of them to have their hair and makeup professionally done on or off site. I wanted to give them the option to pay for it themselves, however some of my bridesmaids cannot afford this and I know they would feel terrible next to those with professionally done hair and makeup. I figured I would just get my own hair and makeup professionally done off site, and have the bridesmaids all do their own hair and makeup, and make sure it was simple looks everyone can do. They are all truly fantastic at doing their own hair & makeup so that is not a concern.
My question is; is it rude of me to get my hair and makeup professionally done and not let any of my bridesmaids choose to do so?
I mentioned the idea to my maid and matron of honor, who liked the idea. But I have two other other bridesmaids I know might be upset because they’ve already asked me if they could bring their own hair and makeup artists (which I haven’t agreed to, I told them to hold off till I made a decision).
I wouldn’t feel guilty about the decision, except there is a part of me that likes knowing if I’m the only one with professional hair and makeup I will stand out more as the bride. Thoughts?
