    She should pay if she is requiring your nails, hair, and makeup done.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

Bridesmaid question!</a>:
    [QUOTE]Hey ladies!  I have a question and would love some advice.  I am a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding, and I feel like the bride is dictating all aspects of how the bridesmaids look without any financial contributions on her part.  All of us are required to get professional hair and makeup done, despite the fact that some of us are still in school and do not have a lot of money.  We are wearing long dresses but are required to wear flats and no jewelry.  We are also supposed to get our nails done in black, which I absolutely hate because I think it looks gothic.  Needless to say, I feel like I am wearing a costume to this wedding.  I also feel like, if I am required to pay almost $200 for wedding day beauty, I should be able to at least feel like myself and have some input.  If it meant so much to her that she was paying for all this, I would have absolutely no problem going along with exactly what she wants.  I understand it is her day, but I do not think anybody is going to notice bridesmaid nails.  I almost feel like I have to draw the line at the nails and go with red, which still matches her wedding colors.   But I don't know, maybe I am wrong.  What do you think?

    I agree with you, this level of matching is absurd, especially since she expects you to pay for it.

    I would tell her the professional make-up and hair is out of your budget, as are new shoes if you don't own/want to wear flats.

    I would ask about the nails: "Hey bride, I don't have any black polish and I'd rather not have them done. Do you you mind if I use red instead, since that still matches your colors?"

    I agree with PP.

    I would tell the bride that you just are not financially capable of spending money on professional hair and makeup.

    With the nail color, I would buy a cheap bottle of black nail polish and paint them myself.  The nail color would not be a hill I would be willing to die on.  However, if she is insisting that you also get your nails done professionaly, let her know that financially you can't but that you will paint them black yourself.

    Why the dirty delete?  Someone quoted you anyways so there is that.

    It is considered rude on these boards to delete your original post.  Many times brides will search through threads before posting their questions to see if others may have had similar issues.

    It's rude to delete your post, OP.

    Maybe she was afraid the bride would see it? Or the bride did see it and got offended?

    That is the risk you take when posting things on the internet.  Others can and will see them.  If you don't want others to see things then don't put them up on a public site.

    Her OP was quoted anyways so her deleting her post didn't really accomplish much.
