Most brides tend to raise their bouquets up high, but guess what? The real magic happens when you hold it much lower, and boy, does it make a world of difference! It’s natural for brides to hold their bouquets chest-level, when really it should go right at your belly button! Our bridal bouquets are designed based on the overall vision and wedding inspo, varying from a tight and round shape to a cascading, whimsical form! During the floral design process, we often hold the bouquet in front of a mirror to see how it will look when our bride is actually holding it on the big day! Try practicing holding your bouquet in front of the mirror to see just how you want your bouquet to be shown off in pictures and in person!

Now that you have the correct height at which you will hold your bouquet, it's all about the angles! Bouquets are not meant to be held straight up and down, vertically - but actually present and photograph better tilted slightly forward! So as you are walking down the aisle, your bouquet is pointed toward your guests, spouse, and photographer! Walk with confidence and let your beautiful bouquet accentuate the joy of this momentous occasion!
