Bouquets not only add weight to your hands, but some can actually make you look heavier in pictures! If you are wearing a white gown and carry a white bouquet, the flowers will appear to add inches to your figure wherever it is placed. Colored flowers on the other hand appear to subtract inches from your figure wherever it is placed. The same holds true for the bridesmaids. If the color of their flowers match the dress, they will add inches. If the flower color differs from the dress, they will appear to subtract inches!
And watch those bare arms! Many formal pictures are taken with one shoulder towards the camera. The tendency is to keep your arm tight against your body. Check out what happens to you arm in a mirror. First, hold your arm tight against your body as you would if you were holding a bouquet. Now, move your arm slightly away from your body. Your upper arm looks noticeably thinner!
