Social media is amazing for weddings. Pinterest is brilliant for planning the look, from beautiful dress ideas to table settings to everything in between plus the boards can be shared with all manor of suppliers. During and after the wedding Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are brilliant ways to share your special day with friends and family.

I have noticed lots of VPB brides and grooms are now using instagram and encouraging guests to tag their photos with personalised hashtags such a #Mr&MrsSWedding, which I think is a great idea.  The hashtag can also be transferred to Twitter posts as well. Facebook is still extremely popular for wedding pictures and now there are lots of fabulous wedding apps available to download. I recently went to a wedding where they encouraged guests to download their chosen wedding app and upload photos to their special day using a specific login.

Social media is also great for getting your suppliers involved too, most of us wedding folk have at least one social media platform we use.

Recently I received these fab tweets from one of my lovely couples who commissioned a Mary Berry Cake for their wonderful wedding day on 6th September 2014.
