What You Should (And Shouldn't) Post About Your Wedding on Social Media

We're obsessed with these two amazing Hogwarts-inspired weddings! Pulling off a theme wedding is difficult — especially when it comes to Harry Potter. There's a fine line between classy and looking like an 8-year-old's birthday party. But these two weddings fall firmly on the side of classy. Check them out!
The first, courtesy of Geoff White Photographers, features a couple that actually met because of Harry Potter! Christine and Andy met online through a post about Harry Potter news, so it seemed only natural for their wedding to be influenced by the series.
Attention, all you Beantown brides (and very smaht Red Sox fans): How would you like to get a fabulously luxurious honeymoon stay for free? That’s right, I’m talking zip (as in the number of rings those damn Yankees have garnered in more than a decade). Well, there is a bit of a catch—but it’s an equally posh one. All you need to do is host your wedding at the Taj Boston—you know, it’s that gorgeous hotel on Newbury Street and the Public Gardens.
Keeping up with the Kardashians' nail trends? Nicole by OPI has announced its Kardashian Kolors collection inspired by all six stylish Kardashian/Jenner women—Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie, and Kris. We love the diversity of color in the collection, which ranges from sparkly brights to neutral taupes and grays.
Check out Khloé and Kourtney sporting their namesake shades, Khloé Had a Little Lam-Lam and Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi, when they launched the collection in NYC!
Here at BG, we can't help but wonder: Will Kim be wearing Kim-pletely in Love, a pretty pale pink shade, on her wedding day? We love the idea of ditching the traditional French manicure for a pop of color. Try one of these lovely lacquer shades from the collection (our favorites!):
Left: Kim-pletely in Love is ideal for a romantic bride who wants to play up feminine, ethereal colors and details.
Center: It's All About the Glam is a subtle yet chic option for the bride who wants her nails to be as shiny and white as her pearls.
Right: Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi is a striking color against a white gown, perfect for the classic bride with red lips to match.
Your guests will likely be snapping away on their digital cameras all night, much to the chagrin of some photographers. But you can't beat the instant gratification of seeing your friends and family members posting pictures from your wedding online the very next day. And let's face it, even the best photographer can't catch every moment.
A lot of your guests will naturally upload the pictures to Facebook, but album privacy makes it difficult for all guests to see the photos—the default option typically makes albums visible to "friends only," meaning that if your aunt isn't friends with your BFF, she can't see the pictures.
Your wedding will bring together people from many different segments of your life, and it's practically impossible that they'll all be Facebook friends with each other. After my wedding, I had to specifically request that some of my friends make their albums visible to "friends of friends" so that my relatives could see their pictures, too.
But think about your network—making your photos visible to "friends of friends" can essentially make them visible to thousands of people, which you may not feel too comfortable with!
And who needs that extra step anyway? A better option: Arrange a password-protected site before the big day and ask your guests to upload their photos there. Print out small cards for each place setting—the size of a business card—with the URL and login information.
