Your wedding day is a tapestry of love, woven with intricate details that make it uniquely yours. As you prepare for this momentous occasion, ensuring your photographer captures these details is essential! A well-curated detail box not only enhances your wedding photographs but also preserves the essence of your special day for years to come. Let’s dive into what you should pack in your bride’s detail box, groom’s detail box, and a neutral box for both of you! (All of these can be in one big box, but I split it up into categories to stay organized!)

Bride’s Detail Box:

1. Veil: Your veil adds an ethereal touch to your attire. Carefully fold and place it in the box to preserve its delicate beauty!
2. Jewelry: Pack your earrings, necklace, and bracelet separately in ziplock bags to prevent tangling. These pieces add a touch of sparkle and elegance to the flat lay!
3. Perfume: Your signature scent will forever remind you of this day!
4. Heirlooms: Whether it’s a vintage brooch or a family heirloom necklace, these pieces infuse your wedding with history and sentimental value!
5. Florals: Ask your florist to save any extra blooms and greenery for your photographer to use during detail photos. Something about adding florals and greenery to flat lay photos make them SO much more beautiful!
6. Something Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue: Include these symbolic items. They represent continuity, optimism for the future, borrowed happiness, and joyous love!
7. Shoes and Hairpieces: Your bridal shoes and hair accessories complete your look. Carefully wrap them to prevent any damage!

Groom’s Detail Box:

1. Tie, Shoes, Socks, Belt: These accessories add sophistication to the groom’s attire. Place them neatly to showcase their textures and colors.
2. Cuff Links and Watch: Elegant cuff links and a classic timepiece are timeless additions to the box, reflecting the groom’s style.
3. Cologne: A few spritzes of your favorite cologne add a subtle yet memorable fragrance to your wedding details.
4. Flask: If you have a special flask, consider including it. It’s a symbol of celebration and camaraderie.
5. Heirloom Items: Any heirlooms, such as a pocket watch or a ring passed down through generations, add a layer of history to your wedding story.

Neutral Detail Box (Bride and Groom):

1. Engagement Ring, Wedding Bands: These rings symbolize your eternal love and commitment. They are the heart of your wedding story!
2. Full Invitation Suite: Include the entire wedding invitation suite—invitation, RSVP card, and any additional inserts. This showcases the aesthetic of your wedding!
3. Sentimental Items: Any shared sentimental items, such as a love letter, your first picture together, or a meaningful trinket, can be included in this box. These items represent your unique bond as a couple!
4. Vow Books: The handwritten promises you exchange are precious. Keep your vow books in the box to relive the heartfelt words you shared!

By carefully packing these items in your detail boxes, you not only provide your photographer with the tools to capture your story but also create a treasure trove of memories for yourselves. These meticulously captured details will transport you back to the joy and love of your wedding day, every time you open your photo gallery and relive those beautiful moments!
