"How should I hold my bouquet?"
Try to rest your forearms casually on your hip bones and hold the blooms centered in front of you. It may feel like you’re holding the flowers too low, but the tendency is to start to move them higher if you get nervous. Remember, it isn’t a floral microphone, so there’s no need to have the bouquet right underneath your face. It will look best to those in attendance, as well as in photos, if you keep the flowers no higher than your midsection.
