Bride
Traditionally, brides would pay for things that directly go to their bridesmaids and their future spouses.
For example, any costs for gifts for her maid of honor and bridesmaids would come out of the bride’s pocket, as well as any gifts that she wants to give to the groom. Additionally, the bride would also pay for her own hair and makeup to be done if she chose to hire a professional.
Groom
In the past, the groom would typically pay for the bride’s bouquet, the engagement and wedding rings, any gifts for his groomsmen or his bride, and the marriage licenses and officiant fees if, for some reason, they were not covered by his family.
Additionally, the groom would be expected to pay for the honeymoon following the wedding, whether that was an extravagant vacation or a quaint weekend trip.
These days, it is most common for the bride, groom, and their respective families to come together and split costs however they see fit.
Wedding expenses have gone up a very large amount over the years, and we cannot expect everyone to be able to contribute in the way that they used to. Any and all offers for financial assistance at your wedding are gracious ones and should be highly appreciated!
