Hands and Wedding Ring Poses

I know the lighting is horrible, it was in the darkest reception center ever and I was bouncing an on camera flash, not my best, but hopefully someone can help me with the pose.

Christy's:

Hannah's:

see, I never do them the same, and it's always difficult because I am usually trying to cover the groom's nails (at his request), and a lot of girls just can't do a graceful hand pose, I end up trying to arrange their fingers one by one... and it's still bad.  Help!

Thanks Geno
I guess the issue isn't that I am trying to get them the same, I don't really care about that.  It's just that I struggle with posing every time.  I wish I had a set way to do it to make it easier for me. 
I guess I should get on other's websites and study how they do it and then memorize a good hand position and then practice it.

Oh and the lighting on that dark one with flash - it looks fine thanks to Photoshop

Thanks, I would love to see some examples.
I guess I use the bouquet a lot because it has interesting texture and color, so it's not just hands, maybe I am trying to take focus away from my bad posing, lol.

Susie, I am no help because I don't do very well at these at all.  The shots you have here do not have the 'life' and beauty that you capture in all your other images however, so I do think you should pursue this some more.  I don't mean that as rudely as it probably comes across.  Check out patkenphotographer.com.  This is the site of Doug Gordon; a 'big-shot' in New York and in the workshops for photographers.  Anyway, on his Wedding III page he has one in about the middle of the image gallery that I think is nice, also on his Details gallery there is one that is nice.  Just for ideas.  I also wonder if you could study some technique for hand position in formal dancing.  They seem to place hands so elegantly together for men and women.

Mainly I think you need something more interesting.  Maybe the hands are actually doing something, like dancing, the groom kissing the back of her hand (like Doug's image), her hand along his cheeck with his hand running up her arm, his hand on her neck or chest area (no, not actually copping a feel).  All very close cropped of course, so the shot is about the rings and hands, but so they are doing something believable and loving/sensual/together.  I do like the idea of having the bride's back to the groom so the hands are already on the same side.  Also, if done properly, you could very easily move into full-length poses and many other various shots with the same basic pose and setup.  In fact, maybe you should keep your eyes open for where their hands are in other photos you are doing as you pose them for together shots.  There may be ideas already in front of you that you just need to exploit for your ring shots.
