INSTA EYE-CANDY

Feast your eyes on these top Instagram accounts.

BY Donna Scuse | 4 MINUTE READ

A newly engaged couple has – thank the internet! – a whole heap of places to search for wedding day inspiration, from Pinterest to blogs to magazines to Instagram. Whether it’s choosing your colour scheme or flowers, decorations or food, the chances are that someone’s already tried most things you can dream of, plus some past the boundaries of your imagination. Luckily for you, they’ve probably posted the results on the internet, allowing you to judge the results without spending a dime or lifting a finger. 

Instagram is a virtual treasure trove for a bride- and groom-to-be. You can gather ideas, soak up handy tips and maybe even identify some of the suppliers you want to work with. Best of all, with Instagram installed on your phone you can sneak in a quick burst of wedding planning whenever you have a few free minutes – making the commute to work or queuing in a store useful prep time.
