If you’re going to be planning your wedding yourself, it’s important that you’re aware of all the different options available. Simplifying the wedding planning process is possible and there are many tools you can use to set yourself up for success and make it easier on yourself.

Instagram for Wedding Planning

Have you thought about using Instagram to help you with your wedding planning? Almost everyone in 2024 has an Instagram, so this is a great tool that may be already at your disposal.

 

Below are some of our top recommendations if you’re interested in using Instagram for wedding planning. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have more questions about the wedding planning process or you’d like to take a tour of our venue.

Hashtags

You may already be following some accounts that you’re using as inspiration for your wedding planning. However, searching hashtags can be a great way to see what else is out there and explore other inspiration options.

 

Following hashtags you’re interested in, such as #bohosummerwedding or #pinkandgraywedding, can be a great way to make sure that you’re consistently getting content in your feed you can use as inspiration.

 

Don’t be afraid to search up different hashtags and see where that takes you on your wedding planning journey. There are so many different accounts out there and it’s important to go beyond the ones in your following list.

 

P.S.: When you’re looking at hashtags other weddings have used, take the opportunity to find some inspiration for your own wedding hashtag. Having a wedding hashtag can be a great way to collect photos and make sure that they’re all in one place on the internet. Plus, this is a great way to make sure that your guests can participate and all your wedding photos (not from your photographer) are organized.

Bookmark Your Favorites

Some people prefer to screenshot a post if they like it, but we recommend that you create specific folders within your Instagram for different categories. Doing this means that you’ll easily be able to bookmark posts and come back to them, which can be more useful than simply having a screenshot.

 

Being able to bookmark photos means that you can go back to those accounts and get even more inspiration. Don’t be afraid to reach out to those accounts and ask them any questions you may have! Wedding planning can be a great way to make connections and learn about potential vendors.

Separate Account

Some people prefer to make a separate account for their wedding planning. Doing this can be a great way to stay organized and make sure that things are separate from your personal account.

 

Creating a separate account can also be a good option if you’re going to be sharing things with vendors. Having a specific account where you post inspiration for your vendors can be helpful, so that’s another option to consider. With that being said, you could also create a Pinterest account if you’re going to be sharing inspiration with vendors.
