Bridal Details Box Must-Haves: The Ultimate Guide
As a luxury wedding photographer, capturing the intricate details of a bride’s wedding day is one of my favorite parts of the job. Not only is the flat lay detail shot a perfect way to showcase all the little things that make your wedding day uniquely yours, it also gets me into a creative headspace to start the day! To ensure your flat lay photos are beautifully cohesive and tell your wedding story perfectly, here’s a list of essential bridal details box must-haves:
1. Wedding Invitations and Stationery
Your wedding invitations, RSVP cards, envelopes, and any other stationery pieces like save-the-dates or programs are crucial. They set the tone for your wedding and provide a beautiful backdrop for your flat lay. I want the entire set of what you send to your guests!
2. Rings
Make sure to include both your engagement ring and BOTH wedding bands. A ring box, especially if it’s personalized or matches your wedding theme, can add an elegant touch, I have a few to choose from as well if you do not have a special one picked out!
3. Flowers
Loose florals or a few blooms from your bouquet can bring a natural and romantic element to your flat lay. Talk to your florist about providing a few extra flowers and greenery for this purpose. This is the quickest way to elevate your details!
4. Jewelry
Include any jewelry you’ll be wearing on your wedding day: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or hairpieces. These personal touches highlight your style and add a bit of sparkle to the composition.
5. Perfume
Your wedding day fragrance bottle is not only a lovely keepsake but also adds a personal and luxurious detail to the flat lay.
6. Shoe
Don’t forget to include your wedding shoes. Whether they are classic heels, chic flats, or something more unique, they are an important part of your bridal ensemble.
7. Vow Books
Personalized vow books, if you have them, are a meaningful addition to your flat lay. They represent the heartfelt promises you’ll be making to each other.
8. Heirloom Items
Any family heirlooms or special keepsakes, such as a locket, handkerchief, or a piece of jewelry with sentimental value, should be included. They add a personal and emotional touch to your photos.
9. Silk Ribbons and Fabrics
Soft, flowing ribbons or fabrics in your wedding colors can be used to tie together various elements of your flat lay, adding texture and cohesion to the overall look.
10. Custom Elements
Anything custom-made for your wedding, such as name tags, personalized wax seals, or bespoke illustrations, can add a unique and distinctive touch to your flat lay.
11. Veil
Your wedding veil is a wonderful addition especially if it has lace or beading on it!
