I want to share my bridal details checklist with y’all, and also share some of my favorite bridal details tips. I’ll be sharing a bridal checklist, a groom’s checklist, and also my best tips today in this blog, or you can just catch it in the video above.
Bride’s Checklist:
- Dress
most brides adore their wedding dress (I know I did) it is one of their favorite parts, so it definitely deserves to be photographed in a special was
- Veil/headpiece
some brides don’t wear a veil or headpiece, and that ok, but if you have a big beautiful veil, you NEED to have pictures taken
- Rings
rings are some of my favorite things to photograph. They are so tiny and beautiful and I just love how each one is unique and special to each couple
- Other Jewelry
whether you just have a simple bracelet or some beautiful stud earrings, you should have each little piece of your day captured
- Perfume
one of my favorite traditions I have seen from my brides, is having a special perfume that they wear on their wedding day, that way every time they wear it, it reminds them of that day
- Bouquet
bouquets are an important piece of your wedding day, and are a must to be included in your wedding details
- Vows
if you and your groom are writing your own vows, they having them photographed is a must. Even if they are just written on a piece of paper, it is a special memory to have.
- Wedding Stationary
the invitation suites/wedding stationary are always so beautiful and unique, and they really help the photographer kind of set the tone for the day
- Something Borrowed/Blue, etc.
not many people do this one anymore, but if you do, definitely add it to the list
Groom’s Checklist
- Tie
- Cufflinks
- Watch
- Shoes
- Handkerchief
- Ring
- Cologne
- Boutonnière
- Vows
a lot of the groom detail are similar to the bride’s so I won’t take the time explain each of them
Now here are my 3 best tips for improving your Bridal Details
- Get your ring cleaned – you want your ring to be looking good for its close up
- Get everything ready beforehand – having everything together not only helps you, but helps the photographer by saving time
- Ask Florists for extra florals – extra flowers help make those details pop
