Flowers

I was just wondering who pays for bouqets and boutineers do the bride and groom or each bridesmaide and groomsman

Re: Flowers

  • The bride and groom, or basically whoever's paying. DO NOT ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN. My friend had to pay for her own bouquet, and the bride had them made up without consulting about budget. So, on top of her 350 dollar dress and Christian Loubitin (her choice, but still...) heels, she had to cough up another 150 dollars for a bouquet that she didn't give two craps about. Because, really, who pays attention to the BMs bouquets?
  • The bridesmaids should never have to pay for their flowers. 
  • Seriously?
  • If I was a BM in a wedding and was asked to buy my own bouquet I would NOT be carrying flowers down the aisle.

    Anything beyond the dress/tux (which should be within a pre-determined budget given by the WP members) the bride and groom pay for.
  • People actually, in real life, expect their bridesmaids to pay for their own flowers??

  • The only thing the WP has to buy is the dress or suit/tux.  That's it.  Anything else you want them to have, hair/makeup, special shoes etc, you pay for.

  • Definitely do not make the WP pay for their own flowers. Talk to your florist who is doing the other flowers for your wedding, assuming you are doing flowers. Whoever is paying for the florist (whether it be you and FI or if one of your parents has graciously offered to pay) should pay for WP flowers as well.
