Wow, do I have a lot to say on this subject.
If the bride has bridesmaids and wants them to wear something in particular, the bride should pay.
And I don’t think guests should pay for anything. No tips to park, bathroom attendees etc.
We made sure no one at our venue took tips. We paid them beforehand for what they would typically make that day. They are my guests.
And those location weddings etc., guests should not have to pay for that either. If the host cannot afford it, have a backyard wedding. 😮
I know, I’m not in the majority view on this, but when you invite someone anywhere, you pay

I told my bridesmaids a couple of colors, and matte fabric doesn’t matter the style. And if it’s in their budget then no worries, I also told them if they would like help buying their dress I would be happy to help them because of travel costs. My bridesmaids both had perfect dresses already in their closet so we were good to go.

When I was a bride, I simply asked my bridesmaids to wear a black cocktail dress in a style that looked nice on them. One girlfriend used one she already had (which was cool with me), the other didn’t have one so we went shopping and I bought her a dress that looked lovely on her and was on sale (win/win!).
I personally find it selfish to ask friends to buy an expensive dress that may not suit them / they may not like!
So in this circumstance, the bridesmaid should be honest with her friend and either the bride steps up or the friend steps down.

It seems that this person is her good friend, since she asked her to be a bridesmaid. Wouldn’t it be best to communicate directly with the bride-friend about the dress budget issue? That seems an appropriate place to start. Perhaps the bride would be willing to pay for half in order to have her bestie as a bridesmaid.

A polite friend wouldn't assume you would pay for what she decides you should wear. The exception is if it is certain that everyone has lots of disposable income.
One way to handle it is to speak with the bride directly, tell her what amount is in your budget, and see if the bride would cover the balance.

If the bride is specifying a particular type of dress, then yes, the bride should be paying. If the bride gives the option of having bridesmaids wear something of their choice in a particular color, then that would be the only way for the bride to not have to purchase the dresses... Although, it would still be proper etiquette for the bride to pay for those as well, especially if the color of the dress is not something her friends would typically wear (especially if the color does not match their individual color season). The bride must remember that when people say yes, it cannot be expected for them to be putting a lot of money toward the celebration, the bachelorette party, and also get a wedding gift on top of that. 🌹💍

I think the invitation to be a bridesmaid should come WITH the expected budget your friend have to cover for their outfit and any other required expenses. I know things like bachelorette parties might not be planned/budgeted yet, but imo that’s all bonus/extra credit; not necessary for a bridesmaid.
Like, “I would LOVE for you to stand up for me at my wedding, and I have every intention of keeping costs for the outfit and day-of hair and makeup under $300.” And then saying something like, “don’t say yes yet. Think it over! I know it’s a commitment and I’d love for you to be there with me, but I also don’t want to add any undue stress.”
Anyway, that way she can turn it down -no hard feelings, or you both can talk about it, or she knows you’ll be practical and not oppressive if something comes up later.
But I eloped specifically because I was a MOH for a bride from hell and I didn’t want to go through anything like that even for my own wedding.

Well, here in Spain, we have children of wedding coins and when I got married , I wanted them to share outfits, including shoes and tiaras. I paid all them, because I knew it could be a huge load for clothes that probably wouldn’t be worn again.
I felt better doing it that way and we enjoyed the days choosing and fitting dresses 😊

Never put yourself in debt over a wedding! The sooner you bring it up to the bride to discuss your options, the better. If she is a true friend she will work with you to make her vision happen! As a recent bride I tried to be so aware of all the expenses my bridesmaids were already incurring (bachelorette party, travel, gifts, etc.) and wanted to be extremely flexible and understanding because I know being in a wedding isn’t cheap. I told my bridal party to pick long black dresses and let them choose the style and price based on their body type and budget - it looked great in photos and some girls have told me they are already wearing the dresses again for other formal events!
