“Flat lay” photos at a wedding are beautifully styled detail shots — typically taken by your photographer early in the day — that showcase the smaller elements of your wedding story.
Here’s what they usually include and how to prepare for them:

💍 What’s Usually Included
• Invitation suite: full invitation, RSVP card, envelope, wax seal, etc.
• Rings: engagement ring and both wedding bands.
• Jewelry: earrings, bracelet, necklace, cufflinks.
• Perfume or cologne bottles.
• Shoes (both bride and groom, if you’d like).
• Vow books or letters to each other.
• Boutonnière and extra florals from your florist (ask them to set aside a few loose blooms and greenery).
