What to include in your Wedding Detail box
All your little detail’s deserve some love on your wedding day ! After all its what you have laid awake thinking about for the last few years .
As a Hull wedding photographer , i can’t stress enough how important it is to be prepared as much as possible before your big day so it runs like a dream . It’s one of my favourite parts of the day capturing all the tiny details so here is some little tips to make sure all your details get the attention they deserve.
You will need to purchase 2 boxes , nice boxes not cardboard ones . But make sure there are a good size to so you can fit most of your details in them . One is yours and the other is hubby’s . The morning before your wedding gather up all your bits together for getting ready or better still as you purchase them pop them already in the box for safe keeping . This will work brilliantly as there all in one place and nothing gets lost and you won’t have me bothering you for anything on your busy morning .
What should go in the Bride’s box:
A copy of stationery – wedding invitations , save the date cards , menu’s , place cards and order of service
Any personalised items – Hangers , wooden or custom ones look best when the dress in hung on this . Stay away for plastic ones are these look cheaper and bend .
Any jewellery your planning on wearing
Headpiece / veil
Perfume bottle – preferably nearly new not half empty
Your shoes
A garter
Your vows – handwritten or typed { bonus points if there on nice paper too}
Any thing sentimental
Something blue
A wedding favour
Your bouquet – although this wont fit in the box but as long as its with it then thats fine . Ask your florist too for a few stems of your flowers loose i can add them into your details .
When all your details are pulled together they make amazing centre pages in your album . Its the tiny things we always forget .
What should go in the Groom’s box
Both wedding rings
A watch if he is wearing one
Cufflinks
Socks & Shoes – personalised ones are great
Tie & Belt
Aftershave – again preferably full not half empty
Hip flask
Vows – Handwritten or typed { again on nice paper is a bonus }
Anything sentimental
Any cards or letters from fiance
Buttonhole
Grooms shirt and jackets on nice hangers too , wooden or custom made ones look best
