1. Bridal Side Pose

For a stunning side pose holding the bouquet, have the bride stand sideways to the camera with her weight shifted to her back leg. She should hold the bouquet slightly in front of her, with the florals facing outward to showcase their beauty. Her free hand can rest gently on her hip or drape elegantly by her side, while her head is turned slightly towards the camera, creating a soft and graceful look. This pose highlights the bride's profile and the intricate details of her dress and bouquet.
