How to Create an Instagram-Worthy Wedding

So, you want your wedding to look like you plucked it straight out of an Instagram post? It’s an intensive job but once you’ve done your research and a bit of digging, you’ll be well on your way to creating a ceremony and reception so Instagrammable you’ll be seeing it all over your guest’s profiles for days.

First things first, you need to follow as many wedding Instagram accounts as possible for maximum inspiration. Their posts will probably give you a number of ideas and hints you’d never even heard of if this is your first time planning a wedding.

We know not everyone’s budgets are equipped to create the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West level of an Instagram wedding but there are four key things to think about that can make all the difference.

The Cake

A cake is the centre piece of the wedding reception – or at the very least the centre of the dessert table at the reception. It will be photographed by nearly every guest (especially if it’s a good one) and is, of course, the focus of the cake cutting part of the reception festivities.

If you want your cake to be an ‘Instagram cake’ then you need to keep on top of any current trending decorations and styles. As of 2019 the most Instagrammed wedding cake would have to be the ‘naked cake’. It is a multi-tiered cake, iced in a rustic manner so that bits of the layers and sponge underneath are exposed.

Choosing this kind of cake doesn’t have to mean forgoing your unique taste – after all this type of icing is the perfect canvas for any flowers, wedding cake toppers, or fruit to tailor it to your liking while making sure your cake is photo and Instagram ready.

Flowers

The best thing about the recent Instagram flower trends is that the more creative and unique you make them, the better! It’s not about having a neat bouquet anymore – native flora, greenery and varying sizes of flowers in a bouquet and table centre piece are the best way to make a visual impact and have all your guests taking photos.

Flowers – however you choose to integrate them into the wedding – are a great way to inject you and your partner’s personalities into the event and of course into the subsequent photos featuring your creations (professional, Instagram, or otherwise).

Photo wall

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll more than likely know how popular photo walls are for weddings. The most popular on Instagram being floral, balloon, bride and groom initials, and (most surprisingly) donut walls.

This requires a little extra thought and cost, but the overall effect on your reception will be priceless when your guests discover the perfect place for their wedding selfies. We strongly suggest getting a donut wall – who doesn’t love donuts?

Whatever you choose, make sure it reflects your personality and how you want your guests to remember and capture their experience of your wedding reception.

Small touches

Through a little bit of Instagram stalking you’ll come to find that it’s the little things that make the biggest impact – plus many of these small details can be created yourself so it’s also a cost-effective way to integrate Instagram trends into your wedding. Personalised name cards, unique welcome tables, elegant table settings or even themed food and cocktail stations – there are endless ways to make sure every inch of your wedding is ready for an Instagram post.
