My favorite way to begin a wedding day is with the details! You’ve spent countless months dreaming and curating the most perfect details to represent your wedding day. I am so excited to intentionally and artfully document them. I love to showcase how the intricate, unique items you have so carefully prepared come together in a beautiful way for you to remember for years to come. From fragrances chosen, to the items that will one day passed down as family heirlooms. They help tell the story and style of your day.
I recommend placing these items, with the exception of your dress, flowers, and veil, in a small box. This is the easiest way to keep them all together and allows more time for them to be documented. You can prep this box ahead of your wedding day. One less thing to remember!
HERE ARE THE 14 ITEMS TO CONSIDER INCLUDING IN YOUR BRIDAL DETAILS:
-Dress
-Veil
-All 3 Rings
-Shoes
-Loose florals
-Bouquet
-Invitation suite and envelope
-Jewelry
-Perfume
-Ring box
-Vow books
-Any extra ribbons, wax seals, or accents that you have incorporated into your day
-Programs (if you have one)
-Dress hanger
PRO TIP: Ask your florist for extra stems for styling your detail photos. These really take your detail photos to the next level. Most florists are happy to include these.
