Complete Guide On Virtual Wedding

Choose The Platform  

Choosing a platform for your virtual wedding could be difficult as there are plenty of options for us, Google Hangouts, Facebook Live, Instagram Live and Zoom or Facetiming. Whichever suits you and could be convenient to others select that platform and stream your wedding for your loved ones.

Invite The Guests   

Though it would be a virtual wedding still a formal wedding invite would please your guests and would make them happy, the easiest way to invite them could be via e-mail with a theme or you can even ask your graphic designer to make the invites and for the elderly ones you can send them a simple Whatsapp link to attend the wedding (in case if they have difficulties in reading the mail or understanding it).

Do Your Own Makeup And Hair

Hiring a hairstylist or a makeup artist at this time could be risky. So, we’d suggest going for a different approach, many vendors do provide online hair and makeup trials, if you don’t have knowledge on makeup or hairdos then relying on them would be very helpful for you. They would teach you how to do makeup under lights so that it will not appear as it is overdone.

Pick The Comfy Outfit

The best part about virtual weddings would be that you don’t have to dress up heavy, wear whatever is comfortable for you, you can go with a slip dress, gown or even lehenga (if you wish to wear). But we advise not to go for prints or stripes because this could be distracting on screen.

Set The Scene

If you’re in touch with your wedding planner or florists ask them what ideas they have for your virtual wedding without getting in contact with you in person. They can arrange Zoom tutorials with you to help you create your own bouquet and other details if you want more guidance.

Capture All The Moments

If you can hire a photographer, it would be a great idea to hire one, but if you don’t feel safe, you can only capture all your lovely moments, use a timer to capture for portraits or record the wedding entirely through Zoom.

Make A Awesome Playlist

You ‘all will agree with this that music could work wonders it could cheer you and relaxes your brain and this is a much-needed relief at this pandemic. So, here you can do one thing select the songs which are awesome and relates to your current situation, set the music in the background and dance with your partner.

One Extra Tip: You can even ask your guests to follow a certain dress code as you’ve decided according to the theme, this would be interesting and would make you and your guests happy.
