How To Get The Perfect Wedding Guest ‘Gram This Weekend

Don’t even pretend you aren’t already thinking of this. All chic, social media friendly peeps do. We wine, dine, shed happy tears and dance the night away at weddings… and we always make sure to snap that Instagram. But not all Insta pics are the same; we have stylish standards after all! So read on and guaranteed perfect grams will be awaiting for you all wedding season long!

Lighting is Everything

Use beautiful natural light to your advantage and skip the dark, grainy photo at the indoor reception.

Think About Your Backdrop

Rather than take a photo at your dinner table or in the middle of a crowded cocktail hour, pick a beautiful backdrop that will take your guest gram to the next level. Does the venue have a scenic view or wow-worthy entrance? That’s where you want to be.

Use the Hashtag

It’s always fun for the couple to look back on their guests having a great time, so make sure to add their wedding hashtag in your IG caption.

Ask the Right Photographer

Grandma, we love you. But sometimes when you take photos we get out-of-focus, awkwardly cropped ‘grams that don’t quite cut it. Do yourself a favor and find a fellow guest with an artistic eye to snap a memory you’ll love.

Strike a Pose

Take cues from celebs on the red carpet and work all the right angles for a flattering look. More tips here to get you started!

Coordinate Attire

We’re not talking too matchy-matchy, but make sure you and your beau aren’t completely clashing. Think similar color families, similar formality levels, and bonus points if his suit pocket square coordinates with your dress.

Cheers To Love

Tired of the same old couple’s shot and ready to mix it up? Grab a drink and snap a pic while you cheers to the bride and groom. They’ll love seeing your well wishes on social media.
