Chances are your wedding guests are going to want to share your special day through their social media, especially their Instagram accounts. This is a great opportunity to see your wedding from a different perspective. Encourage your guests to Instagram your wedding with these following eight tips!
1. Create a special hashtag
Instagram loves hashtags – and it’s a good way to organize the day’s photos! Having a unique hashtag is a great way to organize the day’s photos and catch up on what you missed during the day. You’ll also get an opportunity to see one of the busiest days of your life from a totally different perspective. Be sure to include it on your invitations so that they’ll know what hashtag to use when they arrive. Elegant Wedding Invites share 10 great ways to hashtag your wedding.
2. Hire a photo booth with fun props!
Weddings are the ideal place for a fun photo booth with props. People are having fun, enjoying themselves, and they’re looking for a fun way to express their joy. Give them an opportunity to pose for fun, unique photos!
3. Pick a fun colour palette
It’s one of the first questions you’ll get asked when you announce your engagement – “what are your colours?” Don’t panic! It’s not difficult to choose, and picking a great colour palette means your wedding will be Instagram-worthy.
Pick colours that have some significance to you or consider the season you’re getting married in and choose complimentary colours, but be creative! One Country has great suggestions on choosing seasonal complimentary colours.
4. Choose unique flowers
Wedding guests love taking photographs of flowers. Consider the table arrangements and the aisle décor. Go with flowers that are significant to you. These 25 floral designers show you how to take stellar shots of flowers.
5. Consider your tablescape

6. Choose a space with good lighting
Natural lighting is your wedding guest’s best friend because it makes the clearest pictures, so you want to pick a venue that has lots of natural light. LIUNA Gardens has some of the lightest, airiest rooms, not to mention an outdoor space that works well for photographs!
7. Have lunch instead of dinner
Not only is it less expensive to host a daytime instead of an evening wedding reception, your guests will have optimal lighting conditions to take fabulous Instagram photos of your special day. Plus wedding lunches are just so chic!
8. Choose a unique wedding venue
Gorgeous settings are the number one way you can create an Instagrammable wedding. People love to take photos of fun settings! LIUNA Gardens is one of Ontario’s only waterfront wedding venues and your guests will certainly not forget how beautiful and unique your wedding was after they’ve been to the Gardens.
