Our Top Wedding Social Media Do’s and Don’ts

Social media is a big part of modern weddings, from engagement announcements to your final “I do.” With a little planning, you can make the experience seamless and enjoyable while capturing every special moment.

Here are key do’s and don’ts to keep in mind for your wedding day.

DO:

Set up your wedding hashtag early
Create your hashtag ahead of your wedding weekend and include it on your save-the-dates, invitations, and wedding website. This allows you to easily collect and revisit memories from every event leading up to your big day.

Share your hashtag with vendors
Your vendors capture moments your guests may miss. Having them use your hashtag ensures you’ll see a fuller, more detailed view of your wedding through their content.

Tag your bridal experience
Don’t forget to tag your bridal salon and designer throughout your wedding journey. You may even be featured on their social channels.

Create a custom filter
Personalized filters add a fun, interactive element for guests and help tie your event together visually.

DON’T:

Allow phones during your ceremony
Consider an unplugged ceremony. It creates a more intimate atmosphere and ensures your professional photos and videos remain free of distractions.

Share your dress before the ceremony
Keep the surprise. Ask your bridal party and guests to wait until after the ceremony to post photos of you in your gown.

Change your hashtag
Stick to one hashtag throughout your engagement and wedding events. Multiple hashtags can confuse guests and make it harder to find all your photos in one place.

Make your profile private
Keeping your profile public allows guests to view and share photos tied to your hashtag more easily.

A little planning goes a long way. With the right approach, you can enjoy your wedding day while capturing and preserving every moment exactly the way you want.
