"It's only fair that brides are upfront about those expectations so that their friends can make an informed decision. No one should feel pressured or surprised by the costs, and transparency helps ensure everyone is on the same page," Danisha Cerand, a 2024 destination bride, told Madame Noiré.
How would you respond?
Has the bride told you where she plans on having this wedding? As a bridesmaid, you’ll naturally have to attend the wedding, wherever it is. If you say yes before she chooses a venue, and then she chooses somewhere across the globe, you just said yes to a $1,200 trip.
She asked, and I said NO. With good reason.
