You’ve made a Bridal Instagram Account… now, who to follow for Inspo?
So, you’ve just said ‘yes’ to someone who was down on one knee… (CONGRATULATIONS!!!)… and now you’ve been thrown into the wonderful world of wedding planning!
You may have even made your own Bridal Instagram account – which I thoroughly recommend you do! – The online bridal community is the most helpful and supportive place to be… with lots of tips and SO MUCH wedding inspo!
… So I thought I would put together some of the best places to find it!!!
Sometimes you see these type of blog posts and they have really obscure wedding pages, from a photographer in Spain or a florist in Dubai. And while they’re sometimes great for Inspo, if you’re brand new to this and don’t have a clue where to start, it can be very overwhelming!
So here’s my list of instagram pages that you should follow as soon as you get engaged! This includes:
- Bridal Magazines
- Wedding Experts
- Wedding Blogs
- Bridal Shopping
- Subscription Boxes
- Engagements Proposal Stories
- Real Weddings
- & a few for my Northern Brides
Now I now you’re probably not going to be AS wedding obsessed as me and go and follow every single one of them… but I promise, there is something for everyone!:
