Bridesmaids dresses - who should pay?

Let bridesmaids pick their own dresses by color/theme; flowers provided but no hair/makeup services.

If you choose a color or theme for bridesmaid dresses, it's fair to cover the cost since they are doing you a favor.

I think the bride should pay, and do hair and make-up.

If you want similar bridesmaid looks, you should pay. If they can wear anything, it's fine for them to pay.

The couple getting married should pay unless they can wear something they already own

Arrow

If money is tight, consider not having bridesmaids, opting for a less expensive wedding, or waiting until you've saved up.

My understanding is if it’s in the UK, bride pays. Bridesmaids pay for their own dresses in the US.
