It's safe to say, wedding social media etiquette is becoming a bit of a thing. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West confiscated phones at their wedding this weekend and Poppy Delevingne and James Cook instigated an Insta-ban at their event (which was promptly broken by Emilio Pucci's Peter Dundas). Plus, 14-per-cent of US brides ban social media on their big day?! Here's our dos & don'ts of wedding social media...
1. DO ask permission
We're not saying you should bug the bride until she gives you 10-page social media policy, but it's worth checking there's no Insta-ban in place.
2. DON'T make it all about you
Sharing a snap of yourself and the bride to commemorate a special moment = good. Sharing a snap of yourself and the bride as an excuse to show off your babelicious make-up = bad.
3. DO agree on an official hashtag
Kim and Kanye's friends were using a whole bunch… #kimXkanye #kimyewedding #royalwedding. Decide on one and stick to it.
4. DON'T share a picture of someone else's kids
Ask permission before getting snap happy, even if the mini bridesmaids are super cute. Some parents don't want pictures of their children on social media.
5. DO wait until after the bride's shared a picture to post your photos
Don't steal the bride's thunder by posting a snap of her wedding dress on Facebook before she does. Those 'likes' belong to her.
6. DON'T tweet from the church
No one asked for live coverage. It's just plain rude,
7. DO embrace a social media ban
So your friend doesn't want her wedding broadcasted all over Instagram? That's cool. Use it as an excuse to live in the moment.
