WEDDING PARTY: Who Pays For What?

Who Pays For What?

Perhaps the most asked question in the bridal world: Who pays for what? More specifically, who pays for the ushers' suit hire and bridesmaid dresses?

There are no rules when it comes to paying for your wedding party's wears or gifts. If you can work the cost of their outfits into your budget that is the best-case scenario, as you tend to find people want more of a say if they're carrying the cost.

However, if you are working to a small budget, you may find the majority of ushers and bridesmaids are happy to flip the bill. But tact and consideration are key in this situation. Falling in love with a $500 gown and asking them to pay is bound to cause problems, so bear this in mind when looking.

INVITING CO-WORKERS TO YOUR WEDDING

Inviting Co-Workers

What's the etiquette on inviting co-workers?

This is tricky because they've usually been privy to all your wedding plans. If they're good friends, invite them. However, If there is a handful you only see at work events, then send them evening-only invitations.

Elegant Blush and Gold Wedding

We've already told you of gold wedding ideas – that’s an amazing and luxurious color, which is suitable to make accents at any wedding. Today we've gathered a bunch of rose gold ideas, which, I’m sure, no less chic and very elegant. This soft glowing color is ideal, first of all, for accessories like rings, necklaces, tiaras or earrings. Rose gold sequin table cloths or table runners are cool to make an accent on your table, and you may also use them for bridesmaids’ dresses (or your own one!) or your shoes and add a rose gold sequin clutch to highlight the style. Catch more inspiration below!

Romantic Blush and Grey Wedding

If you are a romantic soul, but looking for something a little different than the classic pink and white color combination for romantic weddings, this color scheme is for you.

Blush wedding dresses are so popular today that they've almost become a trend – many designers create beautiful gowns with lots of feminine details to make the bride look like a princess. Even if you don’t want to incorporate so too much grey into your look, there’s a way to do that with accessories – a purse, shoes, a sash, a tie and boutonniere for the groom. Dress your bridesmaids and the flower girls in blush pink! They’ll look like angels!

A Perfectly Pink & Blush Wedding

Ladies, get inspired by one of the most romantic and sweet colors – blush pink! This tender color makes everything look beautiful, harmonious and so lovely!

Blush pink is ideal because it combines well with many other colors. A blush pink background or an arch with blush flowers would be like heaven! Combining with, gold or black, blush is cool for a tablescape or a centerpiece. Ring pillow, card holders, chair and floor decor – all these things in blush will give a feeling of a fairy-tale with a happy end.

 And don’t forget fantastic blush food – cakes, cupcakes, candies and cookies! They will comprise a wonderful dessert bar at your wedding!

Go Gators Wedding

I love me some Florida Gators and not just cause I live in Florida. They are a great team and I love orange and blue. If you and your fiancé are gators fanatics like me and planning an orange and blue wedding let me know how you’re combining those colors. I hope this board inspires you.
