Updated: Jun 30, 2023

We know that you put a lot of time and effort into picking out every little detail of your wedding day. From the shoes to the jewelry to the flowers, every little detail tells a piece of the story of your wedding day! The beginning of the wedding day is the perfect time for us to capture all those details. So by having all these items gathered ahead of time and ready to go, we can ensure that we stay on time!


This post will tell you all the items you’ll want to gather together and some tips to make the whole process smoother!





THE CHECKLIST

Do you have a special heirloom item like your grandmother’s wedding ring or a special hankerchief that are a part of your wedding? Include them with your bridal details to be captured!







STYLING ITEMS

Including extra styling elements that go with your wedding theme and colors like fabric, ribbon, patterened paper or trays can help to give the detail photos a cohesive look that is consitent with the rest of your wedding!


RING BOX

We highly recommend getting a ring box in one of your wedding colors to help your rings stand out in the detail shots.


LOOSE FLOWERS

Loose flowers and greenery make such a great addition to bridal detail photos! Ask your florist to include some loose florals and greenery with the bouquet delivery! If you are doing DIY florals, put any extras or leftovers in you details box to be used for styling.


HANGERS


Getting matching or personalized hangers for the dresses really pulls the cohesiveness of the dresses together.





SOME HELPFUL TIPS!


TIP #1

Have the bouquets, and loose florals delivered to your getting ready location before I am scheduled to arrive to ensure they are ready to go when I get there!


TIP #2

If you had calligraphy or any special lettering done on your invitations, have an extra copy made for me to photograph! You can use a fake address or even the address of your venue!


TIP #3

Have all 3 rings (engagement ring, bride’s band, groom’s band) included with your details so I can photograph them all together! Once I am done with them, we can give the bands to whoever is in charge of holding onto them!


TIP #4

Be sure to also include all the envelopes with your invitation suite so that I can capture the entire design! And feel free to include your Save the Date as well!

and here’s a simple checklist that you can print!
