Whether you have been dreaming about it since you were a little girl or whether you just started thinking about it once the ring was on your finger, the details are an intricate part of any wedding day. You may love simple or you may love elaborate, either way, the details serve to give insight in to your style and personality. As a photographer I am here to tell you, THE DETAILS MATTER! Here are some tips on how to select details for your special day.
- Colors– pick cohesive colors that you LOVE and carry them throughout the entire design of the day. It will make for a beautifully styled day and a beautiful album later on.

- Jewelry– Be YOU when it comes to jewelry but also know that jewelry can add SO much to your photos. Don’t be afraid of pieces that make a statement. Consider changing up necklaces for the reception if you want a simpler one for the ceremony.

- Veil/Headpiece– Veils make things so beautifully bridal! However, if you aren’t a veil person, consider a headpiece that could add an elegance to your day.

- Shoes– Your shoes can add SUCH a fun addition to your day and your photos. Since not everyone will see your shoes, don’t be afraid to be BOLD and add in some fun color. If your dress is off-white make sure NOT to choose white shoes!
- Table Centerpieces- Beautiful centerpieces add so much to your day and your photos. We don’t all have an unlimited budget so don’t stress! There are so many ways to get creative as you design beautiful centerpieces without breaking the bank.
- Flowers- Flowers can be very expensive but there are also very cost-effective ways to do them. They really can transform your wedding photos so if possible, they are definitely worth the investment.
- Displaying Your Dress- Your dress is one of the most important details of the wedding day so make sure to show it off well by putting it on an aesthetically pleasing hanger!
- Get Creative– The details of a wedding/reception allow you to make this wonderful day specific to you as a couple so don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun with it! One of the things I am always sad about is when brides just do what they have seen their friends do. While this is certainly easy, it leaves no room for individuality so don’t be afraid to be different. It may take some thought and work, but I promise, you won’t regret it!
