Wedding Party Flowers

I didn’t ask any of mine to pay anything. I bought mine for them via a craft store and they were diy. If anything you could ask them to help you make it as an activity to do together if they’re able to but I wouldn’t charge them money for that

I’m paying for the materials and my bridesmaids and I are gonna get together and make them

No, my bouquets were a prop for my wedding. They were something only I cared about, so they were really just for me. They wouldn’t have been much of a gift for my girls as the flowers weren’t something they cared about at all, so similarly, I’m sure they would not have wanted to pay for them. I kept them very simple so they weren’t too big of an expense for me— I DIYed them with real flowers that I bought wholesale. It was a little bit of labor, but very budget friendly— mine were simple as I didn’t want too many extra flowers! But I’ve seen some really awesome elaborate DIYs with faux flowers, which are nice as you can then buy only exactly what you need for them.

I agree with this! I wouldn't ask them to pay for them or consider them a gift, just props for your wedding

Absolutely not. These are not gifts not something you should expect someone to pay for. They are something you want for your wedding so you should pay for them. It isn't your bridal parties job to provide decor for your wedding.

They should not be asked to pay for them. Ever. And they should get to keep them after, if they so wish. However, if they come to help you assemble them, that would be great but it's also not a guarantee they'll be able to help.

It was just a question someone asked me so I thought I would reach out to the wedding wire brides. I agree with everyone

It was totally a question worth asking. There are definitely some things that bridesmaids could be expected to pay for, dresses, shoes, hair and makeup are things I put in this category (I don’t think you could require bridesmaids to pay for hair and makeup, but leave it as an option. I also don’t think the bride has to pay for hair and makeup). The last wedding I was a bridesmaid for the MOH asked us to get a particular shirt for the bachelorette weekend. Things like that can make sense, but the bride didn’t ask me to do that and I wouldn’t ask my girls to do that, not for something they can only wear once or twice.
