You worked so hard to select all the details of your wedding day, from your outfits and accessories to your invitations and florals. Your wedding detail photos are where they get their moment to shine!
Your photographer will often capture these photos right when they first arrive, which is typically when you're getting ready. Having your details set aside ahead of time makes it easy to hand them right over to your photographer, so they can get to work while you enjoy your wedding morning!
You can get all of these items organized in the weeks leading up to your wedding, so they are ready to be photographed the day of. To help you prepare, the following is what I recommend including in your detail photos.

Start with your invitations, and not just the invite itself - include all of the pieces of your invitation suite! This may include the invite, envelope, RSVP card, detail card, stamps, etc.

Next, think of the details you're wearing - your veil, shoes, jewelry, tie, watch, cufflinks, etc.

Personal items like wedding morning letters, cards, and vow booklets are great to include as well.

Then, of course, your rings! I recommend coordinating with your photographer to have both rings where the detail photos are happening, before being passed off to whoever is in charge of them for your wedding ceremony.

Make sure to include your ring box if you've selected one.

Next up is florals - you may want to include your bouquet, boutonnière, etc., but something that goes a long way in your detail photos is having loose floral stems as well!

Loose floral stems are something you have to request from your florist ahead of time, and they may or may not charge you for a small bundle of them.

Another note on florals - if you'd like them included in your detail photos, make sure they are being delivered in time! A lot of times florals are delivered closer to ceremony, and by then it is too late to include them in your detail photos, which are usually taken as soon as your photographer arrives for getting ready.
Wedding detail flat lay photograph including bridal fragrance, wedding rings in box, invitations, loose flowers, and bride's earrings. Photographed by South Jersey, Philadelphia region wedding photographer Madison Neumann Photography.
You may also want to include your cosmetics - If you've selected any special perfumes, lipsticks, etc. these are a fun addition to your details.

It's time for your wedding outfit to have it's moment! Your photographer will often take your wedding outfit for a photo of it's own before you get dressed.

Make sure your outfit is on a nice, clean hanger, especially if you're picking it up from the dry cleaners before your big day!

Some wedding days include a toast of a particular bottle of champagne, whiskey, or the smoking of a special cigar. Alcohol, cigars, etc. that are a part of your big day are also a nice addition to your photos.

Lastly, you won't want to leave out decor pieces, favors, etc., especially if they tie into the overall theme of your wedding day. Personalized decor, meaningful favors, cocktail napkins, and more can really tie the overall vibe of your wedding day back into your detail photos.

Don't sweat it if you don't include all of the items of this list! What's most important is to select the details of your day that are special and meaningful to you, and your photographer will make to sure commemorate them.
