I think both the sides should pay for every thing equally:.

These days many couples are footing the bill for their weddings since most have left home and are on their own. Long gone are the days when a young woman leaves the home of their parents and she is given away to the groom with a wedding. But, traditionally, the bride's family would pay for all of the flowers except for the bride's bouquet, corsages for both mothers, boutonnieres for the groomsmen which was paid for by the groom's family.

In days of yore (okay, as recently as the 1980s), the rules about who pays for what were much more strict. The bride's family footed the bill for the invitations, announcements, wedding consultant, gown and accoutrements, reception (including site, food, flowers, photographs, videographer, and music), and transportation for the wedding party. The groom's family paid for the marriage license, officiant, bride's bouquet, boutonnieres, rehearsal dinner, and honeymoon. Today, the division of financial duties is far more fluid. Maybe one side feels strongly about the flowers, while the other side feels strongly about the band -- so go ahead and split it up that way. See what's on your agenda, then find ways to make it even. Feel free to come up with a game plan that works for you!

Tradition says the bride pays for the flowers except for the brides bouquet which the groom is to cover!

This is an easy one. Tradition dictates that the Bride pays for the majority of the flowers BUT the groom's family always pays for the following:
Bride's bouquet
Groomsmen and Usher's boutonnieres
His family's corsages (his mother, grandmother, etc)
Most florist will ask the bride's family, who picks out the flowers, where to send the groom's bill.

I would say let both the bride's and groom's parents pay for the flowers.

i work at a flower shop and we do a bunch of weddings. in most cases the bride's parents pay for everything except the bride's bouquet, the groom's parents and grandparents corsages and boutinierres, and the groomsmen and ushers' boutinierees. those are usually paid for by the groom himself.

If I am not mistaken the brides parents pay for everything.

Traditionally it is the Grooms parents who pay for flowers.
