In general, the bride's family buys the dresses (saris/sarees). However, it is not uncommon for the groom's family to gift the bride saree(s) too. Since most weddings last more than a day, the bride wears more than 1 sari for the wedding. In which case, the bride might end up wearing a combo of her selection and the groom's family selection. Both the groom and bride's family try to coordinate the saree(s) prior to the wedding day. In the south, the bride can end up changing in and out of at least 6 different sarees by the end of the marriage which spans a minimum of two days. Also, the parties involved buy sarees on an auspicious day/time. Some even offer the first saree to a Goddess of their liking before using it themselves.

The bride and groom
Traditionally the Groom pays for the wedding. It shows that he is ready to take on the responsibilities in his future. It is also a way to prove to his future in-laws that he is able to take care of their daughter.
The groom generally pays for the honeymoon.
Traditionally the Father of the Bride pays for the Wedding.
I believe that the guy pays for the engagement dinner I know my ex in-laws paid for the rehersal dinner prior to the wedding My parents paid for the wedding meal and I paid for everything else
Traditionally, the groom pays for the engagement ring and the wedding ring of the bride and the bride pays for the wedding ring of the groom. However, it is also very common in these days that the groom only pays for the engagement ring and the couples buy their wedding rings together as they share the wedding expenses.
A quality Indian wedding DJ will help couples and their guests celebrate with traditional music and dances. When culture is of the utmost importance, make sure you enlist the services of a skilled Indian wedding DJ.
What I have read is that traditionally the man's family is the one who pays for most of the wedding because the women is being accepted in to the family. But otherwise less traditionally they usually just slip the cost half and half.
