The presentation of Wedding flowers is important. Your wedding coordinator should be able to help you out with some personal advice, and if that option is not available to you, check with your florist. Attendants and flower girls should be taught a single method of carrying a bouquet. Mixed carrying styles can create a distraction for guests during the ceremony and for pictures as well.
For instance - one bridesmaid carrying a bouquet tight near her chest and another loosely holding onto her bouquet at waist level creates an unorganized presentation.
Whatever you do, do not press a bouquet closely against your gown. The pollen can stain the gown, and the gown itself can crinkle the flowers.
Whether you are planning on having the flowers resting along your bridal party's arms or centered below the waist, you should try the positioning yourself and get feedback from your bridal party. They should be comfortable holding the bouquet relatively still for at least 10 minutes.
