I am often asked what are the grooms flower expenses.
Here is a quick reference that list the 4 Flower Expenses for Grooms
- Bride’s bouquet
- Boutonnieres for groomsmen/ushers
- Corsages or nosegays for mothers
- Corsages or nosegays for grandmothers
When I prepare floral proposals for couples, I always prepare two separate proposals – one for the brides florals and one for the grooms florals. Some bride’s families will request just one proposal with everything combined; especially if they feel the grooms family may not be aware of this tradition.
A lot of groom’s and their parents simply do not know they are responsible, or expected to cover any flowers associated with the wedding day. This was not a common thing in the past.
At Southern Productions, we provide our couples with a checklist upfront on who pays for what, so there is no confusion from the beginning. We send the groom a copy of his responsibilities and will be in contact with his parents (with the permission of the bride and/or groom) as well. We like to take that burden off the bride and her parents so everyone can enjoy the months leading up to the wedding instead of worrying about asking uncomfortable questions!

I have created a great guide for Parents of the Groom. It explains everything they need to know on their end for the wedding. To learn more click here!
