Imagine you’re scrolling through Pinterest and land on the perfect wedding day gallery: sun-drenched portraits, heirloom details, and styled flat lays that look straight out of a fashion editorial. Each image is effortlessly elegant—and the wedding itself? Magazine-worthy.

What sets these stunning weddings apart? It’s the details.

Details tell the story of your day, your style, your love. They’re what turn beautiful photos into unforgettable moments. And for brides who want their wedding to reflect thoughtful luxury and personal elegance, the bridal details bag is where it all begins.

Here are 7 elevated must-haves to include in your bridal details bag, designed to help you capture those swoon-worthy moments you’ve been dreaming about.

01. Designer Shoes

Your wedding shoes are more than just footwear—they’re a statement. Whether you’ve chosen crystal-embellished heels from Jimmy Choo, satin bows by Loeffler Randall, or custom-painted Louboutins, your shoes say a lot about your style. Bonus points if they’re your “something blue” or have a meaningful inscription on the soles.

Tip: Pack both your ceremony shoes and your reception flats if you have a second pair!

02. Full Invitation Suite (with Envelopes & Calligraphy)

Full invitation suite with blue accents, laying among flowers, rings, stamps, and ribbon.

Your invitation suite sets the tone for your entire celebration. For the best flat lay photos, include:

  • 2-3 full sets (unbent, untouched)
  • Outer and inner envelopes (with custom calligraphy if possible)
  • Wax seals, ribbons, or vellum wraps

Luxury Detail: Include your vintage stamps or RSVP cards with handwritten notes from loved ones.

03. Fine Jewelry & Heirloom Pieces

Engagement and wedding rings laying flat on a white and gold wedding invitation.

Include every accessory that completes your look: your engagement ring, wedding bands, earrings, bracelets, necklace, hairpins, and any heirloom pieces from family. These items tell a story, especially when styled beside your bouquet or stationery.

Tip: Store them in a velvet ring box (we love The Mrs. Box) that complements your wedding palette.

04. Loose Florals from Your Florist

Groom detail flat lay featuring black suede groom shoes with custom socks, Versace cologne, vow book, gold wedding band, and black bow tie at South Coast Winery in Temecula, California.

Bouquets are gorgeous, but loose blooms are gold for styling detail photos. Ask your florist for a small bundle of extra flowers and greenery used in your bouquet or centerpieces. These elevate your flat lays and tie everything together visually.

Pro Tip: Have them delivered in water vials or bud vases to keep them fresh until your photo team arrives.

05. Signature Scent

Choose a new perfume specifically for your wedding day—something luxurious, timeless, and different from your daily scent. Each time you wear it after the wedding, you’ll be transported back to those magical memories.

Our favorites:

  • Le Labo Santal 33
  • Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
  • Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

06. Personalized Vow Books

If you’re writing your own vows, beautifully bound vow books make for heartfelt and romantic detail shots. Choose linen or leather covers with foil stamping, embossing, or monograms to match your wedding aesthetic.

Tip: Keep these in your details bag even if you’re reading vows privately before the ceremony—we love love capturing them!

07. Custom Keepsakes & Extras

Add any unique or meaningful touches to tell your story:

  • Embroidered handkerchiefs
  • Monogrammed clutch or veil
  • Vintage mirror or tray
  • Champagne bottle with your wedding date or from your proposal
  • Personalized wax seal stamp
  • A love letter from your partner

These final flourishes elevate your detail photos into editorial-worthy works of art.


Your wedding is more than an event—it’s a reflection of your journey, your love, and your aesthetic. A well-curated bridal details bag ensures that even the smallest pieces of your day are documented with care and intention.
