Social Media and Wedding Planning

The Social Media Bride

It has happened! The wave of Social Media has crept its way into the modern wedding process. David's Bridal found that brides of 2013 the will plan and show off all her wedding details with the help of social media, ranging from Pinterest to Facebook to Instagram to Skype.


Soon-to-be brides are using social media to plan their weddings even more today than ever before. Studies found that 59% of brides say online resources like Pinterest, Facebook and blogs are the best places to find their wedding inspiration. We'd have to agree! Bides are using Pinterest as their modern day "wedding binder" for their own wedding plans.




Soon after the engagement ring hit their finger, woman used that same finger to type out a social media announcement. 59% of brides are changing their Facebook relationship status to "married" minutes, even up to a whole day even before they've walked down the aisle. Brides apparently can't wait to show that they've gotten hitched! 



Brides are also using Instragram as way to get instant feedback from friends or family on their decisions, by posting on-the-spot pictures with hashtags. Posting a special hashtag that everyone can include with their photo or tweet, it creates a group of fun photos taken by your guests for everyone to enjoy.


Skype is also gaining popularity, as it is allowing brides to live stream their weddings allowing them to invite as many guests as they wish. Guests who are unable to make it are now able to watch the ceremony live with the click of a button. 49% of brides said they would consider "Skype-ing" their wedding.
