Rules For The Modern Wedding

Rules For The Modern Wedding

In just the last few years, times have really changed. Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, online-banking and of course iPhones have all made it easier to plan a wedding day. But as well as that, there can be some rules to abide by for the modern wedding.

Do Not Leave a Photo of Your Dress on Your Phone

For something special like a wedding dress, posting it before the big day is unacceptable. Make sure your fiance doesn’t accidentally discover a shot of you in a dress option by moving the photo to somewhere secure immediately. Or better yet, have your bestie take the photo.

Do Not Let an iPhone Count as Modern Wedding Photography

So your cousin may have an amazing Instagram photos, but unless they’re a professional, you don’t want to end up with blurry photos with a terrible resolution. It may be easy to app it in the world of iPhones but there are certain aspects of a formal event that need to be considered.

Pinning isn’t Always the Same as Planning

While using your Pinterest account is so handy for tracking amazing suppliers, getting a vision for your wedding and of course tracking down actual products, remember that this is all just preliminary research. As well, its also good to note that while you are in your ‘dream’ phase of wedding planning it can be amazing but set yourself limits.

Do Not Make JPG Invites

With the amazing source that is the internet and of course, home publishing, there are probably plenty of reasons to think doing your own invites might be a good idea. But there is a lot to be said for the traditional invite, especially for those who can’t access your invites online.

Do Not Use Facebook to Vent

Yes, planning a wedding is crazy stressful but we say leave the venting to the privacy of your own home. We’ve seen one too many ‘bridezilla’ moments go viral in the last few years to think that giving out online is okay.
