A Unique Wedding Day Task For Your Bridesmaids: Instagram Story Takeover

Author Elena Rodarte   •   July 20, 2023
Lauren Giraldo and her husband walking down the street in a white dress, performing their wedding day task.

Weddings can be a whirlwind of tasks and responsibilities that are necessary to make the day perfect. When you’re busy getting ready to walk down the aisle, it’s easy to forget to capture the candid and goofy moments with your loved ones. While professional photographers and videographers ensure magazine-worthy shots, they might miss the real chaos and shenanigans that happen behind the scenes. A fun way to capture those candid moments on your wedding day is to have your bridesmaids do an Instagram Story Takeover!

Recently, we saw Instagram Influencer, @laurengiraldo, completely hand over her Instagram account to one of her besties during her wedding! Throughout the day, her friends uploaded lighthearted pictures and videos. Everyone following Lauren, including family members that couldn’t attend, were able to still feel like they were there. Plus, the Instagram story takeover was a unique way to capture the days events that gave the bride and groom a different perspective to remember their big day.

Wedding Day Task: Maid of Media

Ready to make your wedding day unforgettable on Insta?📸 First, pick a friend who is Instagram-savy and appoint them as your Maid of Media. They’ll be in charge of capturing behind-the-scenes content of the entire wedding weekend. Creating stories on Instagram is simple, so there are really no instructions needed! Just give them a heads-up if there are certain things that are off-limits and to ask guests for permission before sharing candid snaps. All that’s left to do is log them into your Instagram account and let them post away. You’ll feel like a real IG Influencer knowing that your special day is virtually being shared to all your loved ones, whether they’re there in person or cheering you on from afar!

Take inspiration from @laurengiraldo, who had her best friends handle her Instagram Stories throughout her destination wedding in Columbia. Everyone following Lauren, including loved ones that couldn’t attend, watched her getting ready in the bridal suite with her bridesmaids, applying her wedding day accessories, and eventually celebrating her new title as Mrs. Lago. The content was full of smiles, cheering, and joyous tears that, by the end, had everyone reaching for a tissue.

Pro Tips for Instagram Stories:

To help your friends with the Wedding Day Instagram Takeover, we’ve put together a few social media tips that you can share with your Maid Of Media.

  • Start the takeover by letting your followers know that you’ll be handing over the phone to your Maid of Media for an IG takeover. Show it with a video story for a personal touch!
  • Use one hashtag that encapsulates the day throughout your stories.
    ex: #________isgettingmarried, #mrandmrs________, #________inlove, etc.
  • Have your bridesmaids film the day before (or days leading up to) the wedding. Capture videos and pictures of everyone arriving and any fun pre-wedding events like the welcome lunch or rehearsal dinner.
  • Add a countdown button 12hrs before on Instragram stories to notify the audience when the wedding starts!
  • Instagram lets you save your stories in a special bubble called “Highlights” on your profile. You can save all your wedding day stories there so people can continue to enjoy the content even after the 24-hour stories disappear!
  • Pass the phone to each bridesmaid and ask which part of the day they are looking forward to the most. 
  • Have the bridal party and guests take a selfie video and leave a surprise message for the bride & groom.
  • Try utilizing captions, polls, stickers, and gifs, to spice up your stories and engage with your followers.

Let The Instagram Party Begin

There you have it! Planning an Instagram Story Takeover for your wedding is the ultimate recipe for fun and unforgettable memories! Let your bridesmaids work their magic, capturing all the candid craziness and heartwarming moments. Your special day will be an Insta-hit, and your friends and family, near or far, can join in on the special day.

So, go ahead and snap, post, and celebrate like never before. It’s time to make your wedding an epic story worth sharing! Make sure to tag @weddingfavorites so we can “be there” with you too.

DIY Bridal Shower Game

Author Jayda Jalali   •   June 09, 2023

Need ideas on how to make your bridal shower more fun and interactive? Having a variety of games planned for your guests to break the ice and bond is always a great idea! In this DIY, we explain how to create a simple “Guess the Dress” bridal shower game for your guests to play right at the table.

Things you will need:

Diamond Pens

Guess The Dress Cards (Find ours HERE)

Your choice of Ribbon, Twine, or Rope  

Putting it all together:

Print your Guess The Dress game cards on cardstock. If you want a more rustic look you can also print them on kraft paper. We recommend the cards be about 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Click this link to download our free printable template! To tie in the bridal details make sure you have Diamond Pens that your guests can use to play the game.

Wrap ribbon (or any thin wrapping material) around the pen and game cards. Then create a bow and place the pen through the knot of the bow. This will help it stay secured onto the card.

Once tied, the cards are ready to place at each seat for your guests to play. Players can sketch the dress directly on the card (what we did), or write out their guesses on the style, shape, length, and texture of the dress. Here are our game results:

We highly recommend doing this easy bridal shower game. It is so simple to make & will get your guests excited about the dress you wear on the big day! Put some twists on it by giving subtle hints, having them also guess the accessories with the dress, awarding the closest guesser a prize, etc. Anyone can participate, even the little ones. Plus, your party will be able to take the Diamond Pens home as a keepsake from the bridal shower.

DIY Pearl Accessories For The Bride

Author Jayda Jalali   •   May 08, 2023

Are you looking for a quick way to spice up your wedding accessories? Whether it is for your bridal shower or bachelorette party, we have some ideas you’ll love! The best part is you only need ONE thing– pearl stickers! These add so much charm and shine to any outfit, hence why they are super popular (especially for brides) right now!

We found our adhesive pearls on Amazon, but similar products should be available at your local arts and crafts store! Stay on trend by adding pearl stickers to your favorite accessories & items:

Idea 1: DIY Pearl Bride Sunglasses

Grab a pair of our Bride Sunglasses and have your pearl stickers ready. All that’s left to do is peel and stick! Place the pearls all over the sunglasses’ frame or in select areas. The pearls will radiate a shimmery glow in all of the photos you take throughout the engagement shoot, bachelorette party, photo booth, and other celebrations. The bride will always be able to stand out while wearing these.

Idea 2. DIY Pearl Cat Eye Sunnies

Want a similar look using our Plain Cat Eye Sunglasses instead? Follow the same steps as listed above and you’ll have elevated Sunnies in no time. Since there is no “bride” label on these, you can wear them after the wedding as well! They are the perfect accessory for any bridal outfit!

Idea 3: DIY Pearl Veil

Last year TikTok went CRAZY for the viral pearl veil that our WedFav bride @its.kasie wore on her wedding day. We put our own twist on the trend and added pearls to our Personalized Mrs. Veil. You can add as many of the pearl stickers to the veil as you’d like. Depending on the adhesive of the stickers it might also help to add a dab of glue to secure them on more. This is the perfect accessory to wear at your bridal shower, bachelorette party, or rehearsal dinner. The subtle elegance of the pearls will give your veil the extra flair you are looking for.  

Just like that, you will have newly adorned, unique items at your fingertips. These DIY pearl accessories are so versatile as you can do this with most items in the comfort of your home. Incorporate pearls in other bridal items like your wedding favors or bridesmaid gifts! This is a great idea for DIY brides who do not have a lot of time to spare as it only takes minutes. Feel free to try any of these ideas out for your upcoming party!
