Q: Should I ask my bridesmaids to pay for their dresses or pick up the tab myself? I'm not on a tight budget; I just want to know how it works.

A: Generally, each bridesmaid pays for her entire outfit herself. However, if you have the money to spare, paying for the dresses yourself is a generous gesture that is sure to thrill your attendants.
