I am considering having a dress code to my wedding. I will ask my bridesmaids to wear the same color shalwaar kameez (any style, but the color will be the same).
I know in American culture, the bridesmaids pay for their own dresses… right?
I have a few American friends, who will be purchasing shalwaar kameez for my wedding, is it safe to assume that they know they will be required to pay for their own clothing?
What about in desi culture?
If you politely ask your friends for permission to choose the article of clothing that will be worn by them on your wedding, do they assume you are going to pay for the outfit, or are they well aware, that the dress code is a good intentioned request from the humble bride, and it is not a requirement, therefore you if you choose to honor her request, you will be required to purchase you own attire?
I know that I should probably just ASK them if they are aware, but i wanted to get some opinions before asking them to ensure I take the proper approach.
Thanks Ladies!
Desi_BeauTii, my cousin wanted us bridemaids to wear the same exact clothes for one of the events so she paid for it. It was the same color, kaam, and everything. if u just have a color dress code then i don’t think they will assume u should pay.
