For Our Couples | The Day of List | The Weducation Series

Hello to all of our favorite people!

If you’ve booked with us, you’ve either had a consultation or your planning meeting by now – and we’ve mentioned our “Day of” list. This is the list of things we want at the venue at the same time we arrive – we take all of these small detail shots before all the fun and excitement of the day is underway (and usually while you’re in the early stages of getting ready or on your way to the venue).

This list makes our job easier, and your day less stressful. Assign this to one person, give them everything the day before the wedding (usually at rehearsal is what we recommend), and make sure they will be at the venue when we arrive. They can leave after they give us the goodies, but we just want to make sure we get started on time. These should all be in one location so we don’t need to hunt anything down.

The GSquared Weddings “Day of” List

  • Copy of Invitation, Save the Date, Wedding Program
  • Wedding Dress
  • Garter
  • Veil
  • Cleaned Rings (engagement and both wedding bands) – a side note, once you have them cleaned, do not wear them again. Every little smudge shows in photos
  • Jewelry you plan to wear – necklace, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks, watch, etc
  • Your something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
  • Shoes – both yours, and your partners. Every pair you’re going to wear
  • Partner’s Clothes & details (including tie/suspenders, handkerchief, etc)
  • List of names of family members for family photos (grouping list, per the final email)

… That’s it!

If we need anything specific from you (like your date props you made for your engagement session or something), we’ll make sure to let you know.

Happy planning!

 

 

TLDR

  • The "Day of" list is essential for capturing detail shots before the wedding festivities begin.
  • Assign one person to manage the list and ensure all items are at the venue on time.
  • Include important items like the wedding dress, rings, and family photo list for a smooth process.
  • Communicate any specific needs in advance to avoid last-minute issues on your wedding day.
