1. Dresses & Bridal (Custom) Hangers
This one is obvious, right?! Of course you will bring your wedding gown to the getting ready room! But, it is quite common to forget the custom hangers at home. So, go ahead and put them in the bag with the dress!

4. Bouquets (Talk to your florist)
So, this could easily be called a wedding hack! If you call your florist and have them deliver your flowers to your getting ready space early in the day, this kind of gorgeous can happen! Sometime about a bouquet in detail shots makes everything seem so beautiful!

Photographing bridesmaids opening their gifts is so much fun! The smiles, laughter, and excitement… it’s a highlight of the morning!
