Things to Remember

A great benefit of flatlay detail photos is now, you’ll have everything you need in one spot for the actual getting-ready photos. So be sure to gather them up into a box so they’re all ready for their closeups!

Don’t forget to give your photographer enough time to take these detail photos, too. Curating these perfect, magazine-worthy shots can be meticulous, and setting the scene takes time.

Other helpful things to help prepare: clean your ring(s), communicate with your florist about drop off time, and communicate with your photographer about anything else that might be needed.

We hope this wedding flatlay checklist has been a helpful, quick little blog for you to reference!
