Who Buys the Wedding Bouquet: Tradition vs. Modern Vibes
Let’s break this down like a TikTok trend—short, sweet, and to the point.
Traditional Angle
Back in the day (think your grandma’s wedding), the groom’s crew usually handled the bouquet. Why? It was part of the “here’s your bride, treat her right” package. The groom would show up at the bride’s door with flowers (and maybe some cold feet), symbolizing, “I’m serious about this marriage thing.” The bouquet was also a “good luck charm” toss for single ladies—old-school vibes, but kinda cute.
Modern Twist
Nowadays? It’s a vibe check. Couples split the planning like a Netflix account. Maybe the bride wants a specific peony-and-eucalyptus situation to match her dress, so she takes the lead. Or the groom surprises her with a bouquet that matches her vibe. Either way, it’s a team effort.
When to Split the Bill
If you’re paying separately, toss the bouquet cost into the “wedding expenses” group chat. No hard rules—just do what works for your budget.
Pro Tips
- Talk it out: Whether he grabs it, she does, or you DIY, avoid the “I thought you had it” drama.
- Pinterest > Pressure: If the bride’s picky, let her curate the bouquet. If not, delegate!
- Meaning > Money: A $10 grocery store bouquet can slay if it’s their style.
Bottom line: No bouquet police here. Do what feels right for your love story. 💐✨
