It does not matter who pays for the wedding decorations now days. Back in the day it was the parents of the bride who paid for most of the stuff besides the rehearsal dinner that was paid by the grooms family.
The groom generally pays for the honeymoon.
Away from each other.
They are not obliged to do this, but if the Mother of the Bride is in reduced circumstances , and the Groom's parents can afford it, it would be a lovely Bride's Gift from her new in-laws.
Traditionally the Groom's parents host the rehearsal dinner. However, nobody is "responsible" for paying anything they don't agree to pay. The couple should expect to have to pay for everything themselves, and if it works out that someone else volunteers to cover it, then great.
