Wedding Flat Lays: How to make them personal to you.
Flat Lays: The Tiny Details That Tell Your Wedding Story
Let’s be real — flat lays are having a moment. These styled photos of your rings, invitations, perfume, and personal touches capture the vibe of your wedding in one beautiful frame. But the best flat lays? They’re the ones that feel like you.
So, what should you include in your wedding flat lay? Start with the classics: your invitation suite (make sure to bring a clean extra copy), rings and ring boxes, and your perfume bottle — especially if it's a signature scent or something special for the day. Add in shoes or your veil if they photograph well, any meaningful heirloom pieces like Grandma’s brooch, Dad’s cufflinks, or a vintage handkerchief, and don’t forget vow books or handwritten letters. To finish it off, include a few fresh florals from your bouquet to tie everything together beautifully.
Stick to items that matter to you — not just what’s trending. Overdone props like wax seals or random filler can clutter the shot and distract from what’s important. You don’t need to include everything; a few thoughtful pieces go a long way. Keep it clean, stylish, and uniquely you.
