Everything You Need for Your Wedding Flat Lay
Wedding Flat Lays
What is a wedding flay lay and why is it important?
A wedding flay lay consist of all the small details that make up your wedding. Each flay lay is unique to the couple to best tell the story of their wedding day.
Wedding flat lays are probably thought about the least out of everything thing else that goes into a wedding day but also one of the best touches to showcase all of the little details that make up your wedding day. Flay lays can bring together the whole wedding day in one photo. That’s pretty important photo to have in your gallery, if you ask me.

So what all should you include in your wedding flay lay?
Like I said above, every wedding is different which means every flay lay is different. So, you should choose items that best fit your wedding. Meaning, the colors and style should be consistent will all of your other wedding decor and colors. Items that are meaningful to your or your partner are fantastic touches to add into your flat lay. Maybe it’s your grandmother necklace or ring or his grandfather’s tie clip. It’s always a great idea to ask your florist for some extra stems of each floral that is being used too add to your flay lay, this helps fill in the little empty spaces and adds a nice touch to your flat lay.

How to prepare your items for your wedding photographer
Now that you have a better idea what you should include in your wedding flat lay, how can you best have them ready for your wedding photographer? I ask my clients to put together a flat lay box. In this box, they will put everything they want included in their flat lay. It’s always a great idea to make a list and tape It to the box so you make sure you don’t leave anything out. This ensures that your photographer doesn’t miss anything and also saves the photographer from interrupting you while you are getting ready. Items that belong to your partner should be included in the box as well, after I finish I will take them where they need to go. :)
