Who Pays for Flowers for Wedding Party?

I think it's whoever's paying for the wedding. Nowaday there's no she pay for this, he pays for that or his parents pay for this and hers pay for that, most bride and groom are paying for their own wedding (My FH and I are both paying for everythign ourselves). So whoever is paying for the wedding (if they're covering a 100% of it) also pays for flowers otherwise that you and your FH's responsibility

Nobody is responsible for your wedding except for you. If there is something you would like to have at your wedding, like flowers, be prepared to pay for it yourself. If someone offers, great, but I would advise that you don't expect or rely on anyone to pay for anything.

My FH's mother was very adamant that FH was to pay for MY bouquet. Hehe, I think I'm still going to pay for it myself, though. I'm going to be buying all the other flowers anyway, so he can pick up the tab elsewhere in the budget.

As for the other bouquets, I agree with everyone else that generally it's whoever is paying for the wedding. I paid for as much as I could and FH is taking care of the rest.

Thank you for all the tips. Ms. L I agree on your statement, with this economy I am on a very tight budget and I am trying to figure out is it important to get the parents and grand parents flowers or would it be rude to ask the FH family?

My parents are paying for the reception, FH's parents are chipping in to help with the cost of the reception too. But we are paying for all our flowers and all the other extras

Well if you are going traditional, that would be included with the bride's or bride's family's contributions. We are playing for our own flowers.

It's very gentleman like if the groomsman pays for the bouts/corsages. Mine is also paying for my bouquette. I'm buying my girl's flowers, and that's it.

To answer your second question...I do think it's important to get the parents and grandparents flowers. It would seem a little rude if you didn't. I also think it would be extremely rude to ask anybody to pay for anything (especially the flowers for THEM!). If they offer, then that's great, but you need to plan for the wedding that YOU can afford and not expect others to pick up the tab.

I paid for all the flowers for the groom's bout, and the bouts and corsages for the parents and grandparents.

Traditionally, the bride pays for the BM bouquets, the groom pays for the bride's bouquet as his gift to her, and the groom pays for the bouts/corsages. FH and I are paying for most of our wedding costs, so together we are paying for all the flowers!

Thank you everyone. I was just a little confused! lol.... My stepfather has offered to buy flowers, but i just wasnt sure what to tell him, I didnt want him paying for his own flower! thanks for clearing this up!
