Setting Up the Ideal Lighting for Online Weddings
Perfect lighting is a must for Instagram-worthy moments. Try facing a window for natural light or use a ring light to give your faces that soft wedding glow. Quick tip: Avoid backlighting so you’re not just mysterious silhouettes during your online wedding ceremony!
Fun and Simple Virtual Marriage Decor Ideas
Don’t hold back on decorations—yes, even online! Balloon arches, flower backdrops, or a tasteful banner behind your camera can make a huge difference. Custom Zoom backgrounds with your wedding hashtag are fun—and totally shareable for guests who want to join in the virtual marriage fun.
Creative Hashtags for Your Online Wedding
Make your memories easy to find by coming up with a catchy custom hashtag. Combine your names or something unique about your story. Share it with guests before the big day and encourage everyone to post using hashtag magic!
Dress to Impress (Even on a Zoom Wedding)
Just because you’re on camera doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look your best! Wear whatever makes you feel special, and don’t forget to communicate any dress code for your guests if you want everyone coordinated for the group screenshot. Getting married online is still a huge moment!
Go Live and Interact with Guests
Instagram Live or Zoom isn’t just for big celebrities—your friends and family want in! Stream parts of your online wedding and interact with guests through live comments or fun polls. It’s a great way to keep everyone engaged, especially long-distance friends.
Personalized Virtual Invitations and Thank Yous
Make your invites stand out with personalized PDFs or short video greetings. After your big day, send out digital thank-you cards with screenshots or highlight reels from your virtual marriage celebration.
