It's all about the details. Wedding details, that is! We're talking about all those pretty little accessories and special touches that you've likely spent weeks, if not months, selecting. So of course you want to make sure those get documented!
The morning of the wedding is usually pretty bananas and the last thing on a bride's mind is gathering all the pretty little details for the photographer to shoot as she's getting ready. That's why we suggest gathering all of those details in one spot a few days before the wedding and either giving them right to your planner/mom/maid of honor or stashing everything in the hotel safe (if that's where you're getting ready). No matter the case, gather everything BEFORE the morning of the wedding.
Here's our list of the most important details to have ready for your photographer to shoot the morning of the wedding!

Bride's Checklist
Wedding Gown & Bridesmaids Gowns
Make sure you have a pretty hanger or at the very least a wooden hanger for the gown. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
The Wedding Rings
All of the wedding bands and the engagement ring. Bonus points if you have a gorgeous ring box. We get googly eyes for a custom Mrs. Box!
Shoes
Paper suite
Your photographers want ALL of the stationery you've used for the wedding, save the dates, complete invitation set (envelopes and RSVP cards too), place cards, welcome bags, detail cards, etc.
Robe
Grab a pretty robe to get glammed up in and let your photographer snag it for a few shots. Robes make a GORGEOUS "backdrop" to arrange detail shots on, especially if your room has ugly carpets or funky flooring.
Jewelry
Every glittery, sparkly accessory you'll be wearing for the wedding should be handy! And don't forget the veil!
Bouquets
Flower girl's basket
Gifts
Grab your gifts for your groom, the bridesmaids and your parents so the photographer can document everything!
Groom's Checklist
Cufflinks
Ties
Shoes
Make sure your shoes are polished and clean, grab some fun socks and set them to the side for safekeeping!
