Wedding Planning Essentials :: #Hashtag or #NoHashtag! Why Wedding Hashtags Are Wonderful!

June 21, 2017 · Leave a Comment

il_570xn-1004007554_n7j8In a world where we are consuming more information than ever on a daily basis, things can get lost in cyberspace pretty quickly. The world online seems to be organized in a series of hashtags, so why not use them to your advantage on your wedding day?

Hashtags, for those who do not know, are words or phrases with no spaces that start with the pound (#) symbol in order to create a link to a page featuring a list of other photos or videos with that particular hashtag. This makes it easy to search for things and let others find your tagged content.A DIY Gatsby Garden Brunch Bridal ShowerIn 2017, couples are creating hashtags that are used by guests attending their wedding. Guests can post a photo of themselves or a group at the wedding, then attach the hashtag so that all the photos show up in one place when people search for the tag. This can be great for weddings where the couple may not have a photographer or want photos that the photographer often misses, like candids. When it comes to bigger weddings, photos can often become lost in the internet hole, and simply searching for their custom hashtag  allows a couple to see all the beautiful photos from their special day. anigif_enhanced-25237-1426197588-11Many people will argue that a hashtag is unnecessary for a wedding, seeing it as something trivial for couples to stress about. But personally, I see it as a way to embrace the photo and internet based culture that we are currently living in. People may say that it’s a very millennial thing to do, but it’s simply a way to embrace the times.  Hashtags provide another way for guests to interact at a wedding on a different platform and share the happy day with those who might not have been able to make it. If someone is having a destination wedding with a limited guest list, those who did not attend can search the hashtag to see photos and experience the day from the eyes of guests who were there. Social media is heavily integrated in our daily lives, so sharing wedding photos via social media is going to happen regardless.

One thing that couples often stress about regarding hashtags is the name of the hashtag itself. If you’re choosing a hashtag, you want it to be creative. If not, you’ll often see that your wedding photos are blended with someones else big day, who happened to use the same hashtag as #KeepingUpWithTheJoneses. In order to be original, many couples will mix their last names, make a pun, or place their wedding year at the end.#Hashtag or #NoHashtag! Why Wedding Hashtags Are Wonderful! | Dreamery EventsNot sure what to use as your hashtag? Ask your bridal party or reach out to family and friends! You never know, Great Aunt Dorothy or your kindergarten crush might have a brilliant idea you wouldn’t have thought of, and it’s a special way for others to help out with the wedding.  

Before you share your hashtag with the world, make sure you are very happy with it! Once you have shared it, people may start to use it and you won’t want to go looking in two places for photos of your big day because one person used one hashtag and one person used another. A great tip, is to place your custom hashtag on your Save the Dates and Invitations that way guests can hashtag photos from any wedding related festivities leading up to the big day too! If you plan to just use the hashtag on the day of the wedding, make sure to have it written on a sign, somewhere near the entrance or at each table so guests will know to use it.#Hashtag or #NoHashtag! Why Wedding Hashtags Are Wonderful! | Dreamery Events As a reminder, you do not NEED to have a hashtag! If you’d like to go old school and not involve technology with your wedding, go ahead! It’s your special day to celebrate the love you have with your partner, so you get to decide what you want to do with your day.

So whether you #hashtag or don’t, make sure you capture plenty of memories from your special day, you won’t want to forget a thing.weddings-2014-05-28-thaovu-photography-jamie-hiland-real-wedding-main

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
