There may be cultures in which it is traditional for a bride to pay for the groom's father's suit, though I haven't heard of this specific tradition.
In some cultures different members of the wedding party do bring traditional robes and other culturally significant items to the wedding ceremony.
In cultures where the bride brings money or property to the marriage as part of the marriage contract (a dowry) it could be construed that part of that money might be used to buy such items as the suit the father of the groom wears to the wedding, at the discretion of the groom's family, but again I've not heard of specific traditions relating to this.
In typical weddings in Western society it's traditional for the bride's father to pay for the wedding and most of what that entails, but the clothing of the groom's party isn't part of the deal as far as I've ever heard, which doesn't mean it doesn't happen, of course.
Many Western weddings are now more flexible when it comes to ceremonial and spiritual traditions and arrangements; where once procedure was hedged about with musts and mustn'ts, do's and don'ts, today there's more freedom, though this doesn't mean arranging a wedding is less fraught and stressful than it ever was.
Certainly today financial arrangements can be more flexible, so that for example if the groom's family is poor and the bride's family very wealthy, or vice versa, the wealthy family could pay for everything without arousing too much community indignation.

Is it ok for the father of the bride to wear a white suit to his daughter wedding?
It should be the bride that decides the color of the groom; best man; ushers and father's attire. If the groom, best man and ushers are wearing darker suits then the father should as well. No one should be in complete white other than the bride unless the bride decides she wants to be a little different. Although most whites seem white they are not and the bride should be the focal point and not the father.
