Taditionally the groom pays for the brides bouquet and all boutonniers, and the bride pays for everything else. In fact, when i ordered my flowers the shop had an order form with "cost to the groom" written beside "bride's bouquet" and all boutonniers for male attendants and all parents/grandparents, and "cost to the bride" written beside everything else. Of course since i was there alone and it didn't matter to me anyway, I just payed for everything myself.

I think the grooms family should pay the flowers. In my tradition (chinese tradition), the grooms must pay all the things for the wedding ceremony. But when the engagement ceremony, the bride's family should pay for the things. Nevermind that. It's just a tradition. All that matters is you love each other, and I think the best way to solve the problem is, the bride, the bride's family, the groom and the groom's family must talk to each other, to get what they all wanted to. Or, you can pay the things together, equally of course.

I've heard both, the bride's family and the groom's. My sister paid for her own flowers, my parents paid for the dress and a few other items, but she insisted on paying for most of it themselves. Whoever offers to pay for the flowers first, should pay for them. That way, it's fair, unless one family is paying for most everything else

The groom's family is supposed to pay for the brides bouquet and the corsages for the moms and grandmother's.

The bride and groom do. In our case, I as the bride actually did.

the brides family pays for the wedding and the rehearsal dinner. the grooms family pays for the reception and the groom pays for the honeymoon.

We're paying for our own wedding, we don't have the money either, do you know what we have done? Saved. We have budgeted and cut back on some of life's luxuries for now to allow us to save a modest sum to pay for a small wedding. If you look at your incomings and out goings I am sure you could find a way of making some savings. We've also taken in a lodger, if you wanna get married you have to make sacrifices along the way so you can afford it.

It is the brides family's responsibility if they are paying for the wedding. If the couple is paying for it or if the families are all paying together then you have to make that decision as to who pays what.

Whoever offers. If no one offers then the bride and groom pay for their own.
