Ultimate Checklist for Magazine-Worthy Wedding Flat Lays!

When planning your wedding, the details matter. From the flowers to the table settings, every element contributes to the overall magic of your big day. One often overlooked aspect is the wedding flat lay—a curated collection of your wedding's most beautiful and significant details, artfully arranged and photographed. Perfect flat lays can make your wedding album look like it belongs in a high-end bridal magazine. Here's your ultimate checklist to ensure your flat lays are picture-perfect, brought to you by Move Mountains Co.

Move Mountains Co. photographers and videographers bring flat lay mats (typically cream for brides and black for grooms) and an accessories kit, complete with ring boxes, jewelry dishes, ribbons, and other decorative elements, to help create stunning flat lays.

1. The Invitations & Stationery

Start with the basics: your wedding invitations, save-the-dates, RSVP cards, and any other stationery. These items set the tone for your wedding and often feature your color scheme and themes. Including them in your flat lay creates a cohesive narrative.

2. Rings & Jewelry

Highlight the sparkle! Include both engagement rings and wedding bands, along with any other special jewelry pieces you'll be wearing. Position them thoughtfully to catch the light and add a touch of glamour to your flat lay.

3. Flowers & Greenery

Incorporate elements of your wedding bouquet and other floral arrangements. Small blooms, petals, and greenery can add color and texture, making your flat lay vibrant and organic. Work with your florist to set aside a few extra blooms or greenery pieces specifically for this purpose. These elements can be layered around stationery, rings, and other details to create a cohesive and magazine-worthy composition. Including florals ensures your flat lay mirrors the romantic atmosphere of your day, adding an organic and vibrant charm that photographs beautifully

4. Personal Touches

Add items that are uniquely you. This could be a locket with a photo, a special brooch, or a handkerchief with sentimental value. Personal touches make your flat lay more intimate and meaningful.

5. Vows & Letters

Include handwritten vows, love letters, or notes exchanged between you and your partner. These heartfelt words add an emotional layer to your flat lay, capturing the essence of your relationship.

6. Wedding Accessories

Don't forget the accessories! Shoes, cufflinks, hairpins, and bow ties can all be beautifully arranged to enhance the visual interest of your flat lay. These items help tell the story of your wedding day attire.

7. Perfume & Cologne

A bottle of your wedding day fragrance adds a sensory element to your flat lay. Not only does it look elegant, but it also reminds you of the scent that will forever be tied to your special day.

8. Fabric Swatches & Ribbons

Enhance the texture of your flat lay with fabric swatches or ribbons that match your wedding colors. They can be used as backdrops or to tie together different elements of the flat lay, creating a harmonious look.

9. Keepsakes & Mementos

Incorporate small items that hold significance, like a piece of lace from your mother's wedding dress, a family heirloom, or a souvenir from a special trip. These keepsakes add depth and a personal story to your flat lay.

10. Calligraphy & Wax Seals

Elevate the elegance of your flat lay with calligraphy place cards or envelopes, and don't forget the wax seals. These details add a touch of sophistication and timeless charm to your photos.

By following this ultimate checklist, you'll create wedding flat lays that are not only beautiful but also tell the story of your love and celebration in a way that's worthy of a magazine spread. Happy planning!
