Flatlays are more than styled accessories. They are narrative tools that link the couple’s aesthetic to their personal story. Invitations, florals, heirlooms, fabrics each element plays a role.
To elevate a flatlay, begin with natural light and a neutral surface. Layer thoughtfully, balancing texture, shape, and color. Include negative space to allow breathing room.
Work with depth by raising key elements or using soft shadows. Use a macro lens or shallow depth of field to highlight specific details. If shooting film, the tonal softness will enhance mood.
Avoid clutter. Focus on coherence. Whether minimal or lush, each flatlay should feel intentional, like a still from a movie opening scene.
