At a wedding Who pays for what?

Who pays for what?

Nowadays, it is not unusual for a wedding couple to organize and pay for their own wedding, although traditionally the bride's parents would finance the big day with the groom paying for some things as well. It is also quite common now for the groom's parents to contribute to the cost of the wedding.

The bride's parents traditionally pay for:

• Announcements in the press
• Dresses for the bride and her attendants
• Flowers for the church and reception
• Most of the transport
• Photography and Video
• The Reception (including toastmaster and entertainment)
• The Cake
• Wedding stationery

The groom traditionally pays for:

• Engagement and wedding rings
• Church fees (minister's fees, licence, organist, choir, bell ringers) or the registrar's fee and civil licence
• Hire or cost of his own clothes
• Bouquets for the bride and her attendants
• Flower sprays for both mothers, and buttonholes for himself, the best man and ushers
• Transport to the ceremony for himself and the best man
• Transport from the ceremony for himself and his bride
• Presents for the attendants, the best man and ushers
• The honeymoon
• 

Wedding insurance

As organizing a wedding involves such a great deal of effort and expenditure it is a good idea to consider taking out an insurance policy. There are companies which offer special packages that provide cover against such things as:

• Damage to or loss of the wedding dress and rings
• Cancellation and loss of deposits
• Failure of suppliers to honour contracts
• Theft of presents

Obtain several quotes and be sure to read the conditions of the policies carefully so that you are absolutely clear about what each company is offering and what conditions, if any, apply.

Anthurium

Anthuriums are a wide varying species of plant. Currently there are almost a thousand known species of anthurium, however, it's been speculated that several new species are found every year. Anthuriums exist in many tropical climates, and are especially popular in Hawaii. However, of the few places where anthuriums are not cultivated, Asia is the main area where

anthuriums have barely been introduced. Neither do the plants grow well there. One of the most popular anthuriums is the Flamingo Lily. It consists of usually a bright pink spathe, which is sometimes considered to be a flower, though it is actually more of a leaf, and then a large protruding spadix. The spadix can be one or more of any multitude of colours. The combination is particularly beautiful, and resembles a flamingo's bright plumage. The several different species of anthurium that produce blooms or brightly coloured spathes, are usually bred into hybrid species, to make a more colourful variety. The blooming anthuriums are popular as interior decorating and house plants, because of their vivid colours and preferred growth in shade. The hybrid blooms are also popular in bouquets, and tropical floral arrangements. The anthurium is also know as the Painted Tongue, or Tail Flower. The name "Tail Flower" comes from the Greek word; anthurium literally means "tail flower".
