Your wedding day is one of the most special and memorable days of your life. It is a day to celebrate your love and commitment to your partner, and the details that make up your wedding day are an important part of that celebration. One of the best ways to capture and remember these details is through your wedding flat lay photos.
Your wedding flat lay is a beautifully designed layout of the important items that make up your wedding day, such as your wedding invitation and save the date, your wedding rings, and sentimental details that are important to you as a couple. You can be as creative as you like with the items you include, and some vendors have even started using props that are themed to the wedding in the flat lay photos.
When putting together your wedding flat lay, it is important to speak with your wedding planner and photographer. They can share tips and recommendations specific to your theme and overall wedding vision.
Items To Include In Your Wedding Flat Lay
You can include any detail items in your wedding flat lay. The most important item in the wedding flat lay is your wedding invitation and save the date (if you have one). In recent years, some couples have decided to do digital save the dates as well as invitations. It is recommended to have at least 2 paper copies of your invitation for your wedding flat lay. This way both sides of the cards can be captured if you choose to have designs and writing on both sides. You may also include your RSVP reply card and instruction cards (if you have one).
Suggested Flat Lay Wedding Items:
Invitation Suite (Card & Envelope)
Save The Date (Card & Envelope)

Bonus Wedding Flat Lay Tips
Although wedding flat lays are flat, you can use acrylic blocks and other items to raise up the components of your wedding flat lay to give it a bit of depth. In the photo below, the save the date is below the invitation that is propped up a bit higher, giving room to add a beautiful perfume bottle and floral in a beautiful wood box.
Remember to speak with your wedding planner and photographer regarding ideas and items to include in your wedding flat lay photos. They can share tips and recommendations to ensure that your wedding flat lay is a beautiful representation of your special day.
Happy Planning!
