In a wedding, who is to purchase the flower girl's dress?

Usually the flower girl%26#039;s parents pay for the dress, unless the bride is feeling generous or has picked out a really expensive dress.

In a wedding, who is to purchase the flower girl%26#039;s dress?
Usually the person responsible for the purchase of the flower girls dress is the bride or the brides parents. If the groom picked the flower girl it is quite acceptable to ask him to pay half the cost of the dress.
Reply:From what I understand the daughters parents pay for just about everything. Even the reception.





Except the guys stuff. The man pays for the honey moon too.
Reply:In my wedding, the mom and dad of the little girl paid for the dress. The mom is my cousin, and I let her choose the dress, as long as it was peach like the bridesmaid%26#039;s. Any price range, too, I know how tough money is.
Reply:The flower girls%26#039; parents. They are the one keeping the dresses.
Reply:When my daughter was in a wedding, we paid for the dress. But we got to pick it out, with the brides blessing on the chosen one. There are some great dresses for flower girls on ebay that aren%26#039;t too pricey. Thats where we got our little girls.
Reply:Usually the parents of the flower girl purchase her attire, just as all of the wedding attendants purchase or rent their own. In very lavish weddings between wealthy families, it is not uncommon for the bride%26#039;s family to pay for the attire of the wedding party.
Reply:Traditionally, the parents of the bride pay for the wedding, reception, and what makes up that wedding. That would include the flower girl%26#039;s dress.





The groom%26#039;s parents are to cover the rehearsal dinner/honeymoon.





The bridesmaids and groomsmen cover the bridal shower and bachelors party, respectively.





The bride and groom pay for gifts they give to their party members.





This is what is traditional in American society. However, if there is financial difficulty for any party... it truly falls upon the bride and groom to cover costs. They are the ones getting married, after all. Many bridemaids and parents of the flower girl will go ahead and pay for their wedding clothes. Also, it is not at all rude for the groom%26#039;s family to pay for more...such as tuxes for the men in the party, and help with wedding/reception costs. If you have a large disparity in wealth between parents...one set might be expecting more than the other. If this is so...the wealthier parents (with more expensive taste) must be willing to fork out the money for extra costs they insist upon. It is the courteous thing, and right thing to do...period.





What is traditional, is not mandated. Please remember this before you run up horrendous expenses that take years to pay on credit cards.
Reply:When I got married my parents paid for the flower girls dress. My daughter was recently a flower girl in a wedding and they paid for her dress, even though I was more than willing to pay for it. Hope that helps! :-)
