Traditionally, the bride’s family handles the cost of the bride’s attire, covering everything from the dress to the shoes. This tradition is part of a broader norm where the bride’s family foots most of the wedding expenses. Historically, this even tied back to the concept of dowries.
However, times are changing! Many modern brides prefer to buy their own shoes (along with other accessories), seeking financial independence and personal input on their wedding looks. It’s a way for them to ensure everything fits their style perfectly.
Factors like family financial situations, personal values, and clear communication between the couple and their families come into play. Some families still take pride in covering these costs, while others embrace more modern, flexible approaches. Some cultures also have unique traditions regarding who pays for what.
Ultimately, it’s all about what works best for the couple and their families. The goal is to celebrate love without the stress of finances.
Happy planning, and may your wedding day be as fabulous as your shoes!
