What to Pack in Your Details Box for Gorgeous Wedding Flat Lays

Let’s talk about one of the most overlooked (but oh-so-important) parts of your wedding day: the details!

As your wedding photographer, I’m here to capture all the magic—yes, even the tiny, intricate, "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" moments that deserve a starring role in your album.

One of the first things I do when I arrive at your venue is style and photograph your details. These flat-lay shots set the tone for your gallery, showing off your style, creativity, and love story. The secret to nailing these photos? A details box.

Don’t worry—I’ll walk you through everything to include! And trust me, when you see those dreamy flat lays, you’ll thank yourself for putting this together ahead of time.


Your Must-Have Details Box Checklist

1. Your Wedding Stationery - Think invites, RSVP cards, envelopes—everything that sets the mood for your big day. Bonus points if you’ve got extras to play around with. I can layer them, highlight calligraphy, or show off that gorgeous foil lettering you splurged on.

2. The Rings (Yes, All of Them!) - Your engagement ring and both wedding bands deserve a moment in the spotlight. Bonus: If you have a cute ring box, throw that in too!

3. Shoes That Are Totally You - Your wedding shoes say a lot about your style. Whether they’re glam heels, sparkly flats, or custom sneakers, let’s get them in the shot.

4. The Signature Scent - Your perfume bottle is like the cherry on top of a gorgeous flat lay. Plus, it’s a fun way to bring back wedding memories every time you wear it.

5. Jewelry and Accessories - Earrings, necklaces, cufflinks, watches—basically anything shiny or sentimental is fair game.

6. Vows, Letters, or Notes - Handwritten vows or love letters are pure magic in photos. They add such a personal, emotional touch to your story.

7. Florals, Please! - Ask your florist to deliver your bouquet and boutonniere early so they can make a guest appearance in the flat lay. Trust me—they’re the MVPs of styling.


 

Ready to Think Outside the Details Box?

Now, let’s have some fun! Here are a few ideas to make your flat lays even more personal:

  • Family Heirlooms: Grandma’s brooch, your mom’s locket, or anything passed down with love.

  • Fabrics with a Story: A swatch of lace from your dress, a handkerchief your friend decided to embroider, or a swatch of ribbon from your bouquet.

  • Meaningful Trinkets: A charm, compass, or even a quirky memento you and your partner share (yes, I will photograph that lucky D&D dice).

  • Seasonal Vibes: Winter pinecones, autumn leaves, spring blossoms—whatever ties your details to the time of year.

  • Something Blue: A ribbon, jewelry, or a fun little pop of blue.



Tips for Stress-Free Flat Lay Prep

  • Pack your details in a box or bag a few days before the wedding. No scrambling allowed!

  • Label it clearly and assign a VIP (maid of honor, best man, bestie, or family member) to hand it off to me as soon as I arrive.

  • Trust me—I’ll take it from there and turn your details into absolute art.
