Incorporating Instagram-able Moments with Flowers in Your Wedding

Social media has become such an integral part of our day that it is hard to imagine life without it. From the way you wake up and check what’s happening to the way you experience the special moments in your life, social media has changed our lives.  While there’s something to be said for the simpler life of days gone by – social media is here to stay. And if you actually like social media, you will definitely want to incorporate it in your wedding.

Given that weddings have such beautiful flower arrangements that make for amazing pictures, what are some of the ways you can incorporate your wedding flowers in Instagram-able moments?

We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

• A flower wall. Some might say that these are passé, but we think they are just starting out, actually. Flower walls are the perfect way to decorate an empty space at a spring or summer wedding, regardless of whether it happens indoors or outdoors. Add a little cute sign with your wedding hashtag near the flower wall and encourage people to take pictures there and share them on Instagram using your special hashtag. Everyone will love it!
• Go beyond the centerpieces on the tables. Yes, wedding centerpieces are quite important in setting the ambiance around the table. However, there are other ways to incorporate blooms in the table décor too. For instance, a small bloom used as an attachment to a place card can make for really pretty Instagram pictures – and if you create a pretty arrangement you don’t even have to ask people to share the photos on Insta, they will do it on their own precisely because it’s oh-so-pretty!
• Toss the bouquet. Some brides choose to not toss the bouquet as part of the tradition, and that’s OK. However, if you want to include this moment in your wedding, be sure there’s someone who can take a clear picture of it and someone who can take a boomerang shot of the moment as well. For those of you not familiar with this, Boomerang is an app from Instagram that lets you make captivating mini videos that loop back and forth. This is bound to attract tons of hearts on Insta, precisely because it’s a fun, romantic moment!

How you include flowers in your wedding are all up to you, and what you want from your Big Day. And whether or not you choose to encourage people to share your wedding on Instagram is, again, up to you. Whatever you choose, don’t be afraid of people’s reactions – they will understand even if you want to completely forbid social media during your Big Day!
