How you angle and hold your bouquet can greatly impact how it looks in photos - In this blog, I'll be sharing a few tips on how to hold your bouquet correctly.

1. Hold your bouquet right at your belly button

Seems like kind of an odd height, right? I have certainly always carried items near my chest or at my hip - But, for your bouquet, you don't want to hold it too high or too low. Holding it near your belly button will allow your arms to be more relaxed and avoid discomfort (and awkward posture!).

2. Angle your bouquet towards the camera

Depending on the design of the bouquet, sometimes, bouquets are better showcased in photos when the bouquet is slightly tilted. When this is the case, slightly point the top of your bouquet towards the camera - This will help show off the blooms! (Side note: Our signature bouquets are created with a front-facing design so that our brides do not have to worry about tilting their bouquet at a certain angle for photos).

3. Make sure you are showcasing the 'front' of your bouquet

Not always the case, but some bouquets may have a 'front' and a 'back'. For our bouquets, the 'back' is indicated by the line of pins holding the ribbon in place. If your thumbs are 'criss-crossing' across the line of pins, you're holding it just as you should be!

And there you have it! My top 3 tips on holding your bouquet the "right" way :)
