HIDE THOSE STEMS

Hold the stems towards your body and angle the front of your bouquet down.

HOLD YOUR BOUQUET AT YOUR BELLY BUTTON

You want your gown and hair and makeup to shine! Our florals and designed to compliment those. So holding your bouquet at your belly button (although it may feel odd) is the best way for your photographer (AND GROOM!) to capture your wedding day beauty.

TO RECAP - Keep the pins towards your body, hold at your belly button with bold florals in the front, and angle the bouquet front down (so the stems are towards your body). Easy as that!
