What to Bring For Your Keepsake Detail Wedding Photos (aka Flatlay)

If you’re putting together a wedding detail flat lay (aka those beautifully styled photos of your accessories and keepsakes), here’s a helpful list to make sure you’ve got all the good stuff covered.

Pick your favorites to bring! Think of it as a little wedding day treasure chest of meaningful and stylish items.🥰

Bride’s Items:

• Rings: Engagement ring, wedding band, maybe a cute ring box

• Jewelry: Necklaces, bracelets, earrings—whatever you’re wearing

• Shoes: The fancy pair you picked out

• Veil or Hair Accessories: If you’ve got them, include them

• Perfume: Your wedding day scent

• Vow Book or Letter: Anything you’ve written to your partner

• Florals: A few extra blooms from your florist work great

• Invitation Suite: The whole set—invite, RSVP card, envelopes

• Dress Hanger: A nice one for photos (not the plastic kind!)

• Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue: If you’re including these

• Heirloom Pieces: Anything sentimental from family or friends

Groom’s Items:

• Shoes: Can’t forget the groom’s kicks

• Watch: If he’s wearing one

• Tie or Bowtie

• Cufflinks

• Cologne: His wedding day scent

• Boutonniere

• Vow Book or Letter

• Handkerchief

• Suspenders or Belt

• Wedding Band

Extra Details to Consider:

• Stationery: All the paper goods

• Ribbons, Lace, or Textiles: These add texture to the photos

• Wedding Favors or Personalized Touches

• Items that represent your venue or location

• Ring Box: Personalized or decorative

• Wedding Party Gifts

• A celebratory drink (yes, even if it’s just a can of champagne!)

• Gifts or Notes you exchanged

• Extra Makeup Items: Lipstick, compact, etc.

• Vintage Stamps, Wax Seals, or the Seal Stamp itself

Tip: Ask your florist to set aside some loose blooms and greenery for your photographer—it really ties everything together
