How Instagram your wedding!

Do you  ?

With technology trending and getting bigger and bigger each day its growing faster than we can keep up with it!

Trending at the moment is using #hashtags and Instagram to share and collect photos of your wedding day!!

Since everyone has smart phones now a days, what a better way to share all of your Wedding photos with everyone! It is also a great way of sharing your Wedding photos without them being plastered all of Facebook and clogging news feeds!!

So heres how:

1. Create a hashtag. This will allow you find your photos on Instagram. Type your hashtag into Google to make sure its not already in use as you want it to be original and easy to remember (short is best). Something like #edwardswedding

2. Have a sign on display that reads something like: “If you Instagram, use hashtag #yourhashtag.” It can be something as simple as a chalkboard sign.

 3. Include the hashtag in your wedding program, or give out cards with the hashtag.

4. Have a sign at each table reminding guests about which hashtag to use. 

5. Run a slideshow of the Instagram photos at your wedding reception with your hashtag by using the Evenstagram app.

6. After the wedding, remind your guests about the hashtag via social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter etc.)

7. Let your guests see all the photos online post-wedding by creating a slideshow with Statigram.

8. Print your Instagram photos using Printsagram. You can have your photos turned into mini books, calenders or posters. Due to Instagram copyright restrictions, you will not be able to print your guests’ photos. To get around this, simply have your guests email you the original files of the photos that you want to print

Have fun Instagramming!

Beautiful hair designs of 2014

Happy new year to all of your beautiful brides out there. I am so excited for what 2014 has to bring with new trends and styles for 2014 brides and for NB Garters!
The Great Gatsby theme is still going strong making a big impact of headwear for 2014.

Braid crowns are the in thing for your beautiful wedding hair so i thought i would give you a tutorial!!
I took the photos from Oncewed because the photos are so beautiful. Why not try it today!

1. Part hair down middle. Secure one side of the hair with a clip or elastic so it doesn’t get mixed in with the other side.

2. Grab a section of hair at the nape of the neck. Split into three.

3. Start to do an INSIDE-OUT French braid (instead of crossing sections over each other, cross under).

4+5. Continue braiding inside-out, wrapping around the side of the head.

6. You’ll cross the forehead and finish the braid. Secure with a hair tie. Let braid hang whilst you braid the second side.

7. Grab a section of hair at the top of the head and split into three.

8. Start to do an INSIDE-OUT French braid down the side of the head.  Finish the braid and secure with an elastic.

9. Take braid and wrap around the back of the head.

10. Secure with Bobbi pins. Tuck and hide small tail under the other braid. Grab the braid resting on the forehead and secure with Bobbi pins. Tuck tail under other braid.
