Fortunately you don't have to choose one or the other, but your bouquet will be carried against the backdrop of the bodice of your dress so it is wise to consider how they will impact one another.
It's simple really. A complex design on the bodice makes a great backdrop for a more simple bouquet arrangement such as a pomander of roses with the subtlest of accents interwoven. On the other hand a smooth bodice allows for a more intricate bouquet.
The complication is found here: Contrary to what most expect, a wedding dress with a smooth bodice is almost always more expensive than one decorated with a more ornate design. Why? The answer is found simply in that it takes more skill to fashion a dress that has no place to hide a flaw in the workmanship or material.
So... if you have splurged, or gotten an incredible deal, on a wedding dress with a smooth bodice the good news is that you get to have that impressive bouquet.
If, however, you are on a budget then choose a wedding dress with a more ornate bodice that will provide a beautiful backdrop for the simpler and less expensive bridal bouquet.
