Being in a wedding involves expenses. You made that clear up front, and people had the chance to back out. If they agree, they're accepting everything that comes with it. If they have to back out now because of finances, be understanding. Sounds like you're doing that.
I've only been in two weddings - my best friend from high school, and my sister. Both times I was the matron of honor. I paid all my own expenses - that's just expected, as far as I know, and I knew what I was getting into when I agreed. Granted, both brides were very conscious about expenses and tried to find dresses that weren't over the top, and let us pick out our own shoes and such. I've never been in a bridezilla wedding, but then I don't have any bridezilla friends. Well, maybe one, but she was already married before I met her, thank god. The way I see it, it's a great big deal for two people to get married and I'm happy to shell out the dough to be involved. The times when I was invited and couldn't afford to attend, I sent my regrets and my best wishes.
