I think this is an outdated tradition. My husband and I covered flower costs (and my MOH's mom made my bouquet :)
It's so hard to tell which traditions are still in full swing and which are outdated!!
We are paying for all of our flowers, but then we aren't having much family input for paying for things anyway unless they volunteer.
FMIL has offerd x-amount of money that we're just putting towards the costs in general. In theory, it's going towards flowers, I guess.
FI and I are paying for flowers, but his aunts will be doing the arranging.
I'm paying for mine. I've never heard of this being the groom's family's job, especially since pretty much all the flowers (including bridesmaid bouquets and corsages, on top of the bridal bouquet and boutonnieres) generally come from a single florist... why would there be different people paying for it?
I think, now a days, those old traditions aren't holding their weight! There are new-age situations like unique finances and non-traditional families that make these customs obsolete. We're paying for 90% of our wedding ourselves, so we're doing our own flowers!
I had no idea this was a tradition...we paid for the wedding bouquet, etc., ourselves.
My parents paid for teh flowers, but I paid for my own bouquet because it had to be ordered separately.
My husband's family paid for the flowers, but my mom secured the deal because she has a great relationship with the florist.
No one in particular. We just have one general wedding fund that everyone contributed to what they could. Everything is paif for from that fund so there's really no saying who is paying for what.
This is outdated!
We are paying for the cost of all of our flowers!
My parents are paying for the flowers. I've actually never heard of this tradition.
My parents are just because they're paying for all of the flowers.
I don't think it's really standard anymore. FI and I are paying for the flowers... IF we have them!
We're paying for all of the flowers... but oddly enough my Mother dictated some stuff I'm not into buying. Like she insists that my uncle (who's close to my age and we've grown up like siblings) get a boutonierre... not gonna happen. I know its only like $20 but then we'd have to give one to all of my FI's Aunts and Uncles and then we'd be broke!
My mama!
She's a florist & her shop is doing all my flowers :)
I've never heard of this tradition... haha it would be nice if they'd pay up though!

I have read several places that the groom/his family are responsible for the cost of the bride's bouquet and the boutonierres.
Is this pretty standard? Who is paying for yours?
Thanks!
Sorry that I put this in the wrong place!
