10 Accounts to Follow if You’re Planning a Wedding RN!
There are SOOO many things that every new bride-to-be wants to do once she’s got a sparkler on her finger - but we’ll be the first to say RELAX, take a minute, revel in your new ring, hug your new fiancé, and don’t rush into wedding planning just yet. It’s a process and one that doesn’t need pressure right away. So, pour a glass of wine, cue up Netflix, and pull up Instagram on your phone - because really, there’s no better place to start dreamscaping your big day than on the feeds of some of the best wedding pros in the biz.
Okay, maybe there’s another great place, too… like our vendor guide…
Some of you will go want to go straight for the aisle style inspo, others will want a few ideas for engagement photos (whether you want to do something casj or super adventurous), and others will just want to dive right into the details - be they color palettes, fabulous floral arrangements, double-tap-worthy tablescapes, etc. And don’t worry if your taste tilts every day, that’s the point of inspiration - you’re curating a vibe for your wedding day, and that’s multilayered.
I got married 3+ years ago, and yet, I still can’t help following new wedding planners every week. Unique escort card displays, creative lounge areas, on-point photo booth vignettes, seriously-schemed signature cocktails, all of these things just give me life.
We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite vendors, from stylists to dress designers, photographers to florists, and if you haven’t heard of them already, you might want to quick hit that ‘follow’ and start stalking their posts. Be warned, though, once you start this ‘feeding’ frenzy (hehe, see what I did there?) you might realize that you’ve been gone for hours and need to turn off your phone and regroup. And that’s👌, that’s what wedding planning does to you.
We’re just days away from sliding into February, the most loved-up month of the year - and with millllllions of proposals coming in hot for Valentine’s Day, we thought it’d be just the right time to acquaint you with some of our favorite vendors. Ones that every newly-engaged-girlie needs to have on her radar at all times. We’ll tell you what to expect from their feeds, and show you some proof that they know what they’re doing (as if). So, get to know some of the squad….
Like flowers, if you go bonks for blooms, you NEED to check out The Potted Pansy. Everything you could ever dream of, when it comes to flower power, can be found here!
This No Cal event designer has pieced together the most stunning feed ever - treating brides to beautiful scenery shots, dessert zooms, first kisses between couples, stationery and girl squad snaps. And her aesthetic is matched by gorgeous soft + bright photography. If you're a basic bride, you'll love how much blush and #somethingblue you can see on her grid - but you'll also glean some amazing special moment inspo too.
This all-white barn wedding venue in Oklahoma makes ALL of us want to drop everything to tie the knot in Tulsa. With its natural aesthetic and crispness, the monochromatic photos that are posted are just immaculate. Each couple that gets married here makes the raw space their own, and it's magic.
Goddess is truly the only word to describe how you’d feel in one of these Aussie-made gowns. We could spend hourrrrs scrolling through their feed. From all-lace looks to softer silhouettes with a lot of flounce, we are smitten. You will be too!!
These photographers have destination I Do druthers, and they make magic with EVERY photo. They’re also incredibly versatile, so you’ll see uniqueness and charm in every photo session.

If destination I Dos are only doable in your dreams, then take a trip over to this photographer’s absolutely breathtaking feed of Hawaiian weddings. You literally can’t even believe they’re real. From beachy shots overlooking the most crystal blue-turquoise waters, to detail shots of shoes, desserts, the most baller bridal vanities, and more, being a voyeur on this page is not only okay, it’s encouraged.
This might just be the most fun and flirty photo page you’ll ever see. Jess says she helps fun & creative couples capture their authentic love story. And we couldn’t agree more. Her feed is overflowing with soulmates on their wedding days, engagement photo days, proposal days, anniversaries (hello museum of ice cream) etc. And she peppers in some great detail shots along the way, too.
Even if you’re not thinking about a destination wedding, you can live vicariously through the couples getting married in Greece. This page is FULL of stunning outdoor wedding shots, beautiful floral-draped tablescapes, lounge areas and twinkle-light-lit receptions. Plus a few uh-maze bridal portraits…
