Mindlessly scrolling through social media feeds is the personification of our particular generation. So, it’s only ‘natural’ that we turn to social media for inspiration when planning our own wedding. Whether it be on Pinterest, Dayre or Instagram, we are bound to be hit with a myriad of wedding posts that blows our mind (and maybe even demoralise us a little bit).
“How is it even possible to get an event to be so aesthetically pleasing?”
“Can I make my big day something like that?”
Chances are, these questions are swirling around your head as you double-tap the post and close the app in frustration. Well, rest easy cause these picturesque weddings may not be as impossible to pull off as you may think. We’ve got the full lowdown on how to best create that Instagrammable wedding you’ve always wanted!
It’s all about location
Whether you are interested in small wedding venues or more extravagant alternatives, you’d want to ensure there are ample spots to take amazing photos. Great wedding venues are able to provide stunning backdrops for photographs, with no filters are needed. This applies to both the couple and wedding guests! So, if your chosen wedding venue already looks stunning prior to all the wedding additions, you are in luck. If possible, find a location that already sets the stage for the rest of your wedding design. Location is an incredibly significant part of all aspects of your wedding, not just the actual day. So, if you’re looking to find hidden locations for pre-wedding photoshoots, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered here.
Come up with a witty theme
With aesthetics provided by the location itself, you can focus on how to accentuate it further with a witty theme. If you’ve chosen an outdoor wedding venue for your vintage travel theme, you can consider adding globes or antique suitcases. Wedding theme ideas are only limited by your creativity! Okay fine, your budget too. If themed weddings are a bit too excessive, try this instead.
It surely can’t go unnoticed, the recent trend of hashtags at weddings. For the most part, it’s a hashtag followed by an amalgamation of the couple’s names. Sometimes it’s cute and sometimes, it’s just not. So, be warned, this can go wrong. Have a creative brainstorm session and see if you and your partner can come up with a punny hashtag. It’s sure to add a bit of fun. Also, pictures from your wedding day stay organised on social media. You’d be able to scroll through them in the future with ease!
Did anyone not mention lights?
If you’ve got your wedding location and theme settled, next up is lighting. It plays such a big part in your special day. After all, lighting alone can affect your wedding’s tone, vibe and overall atmosphere. So whether it be chandeliers or market lighting, try to match your choice of lighting to the event space. This would also add a few more spots for great photos. However, let’s also be mindful that when it comes to lighting, moderation is key. You don’t really want to end up ‘overdoing’ it and make your wedding look tacky and non-professional. So, it’s important to find that middle ground between tasteful and tacky.
