The social media brides…Let’s be realistic 

As the social media continues to dominate many lives across the globe, prospective brides in Nigeria are not left out of the fantasy world of internet wedding resources. From top Nigeria wedding blogs to foreign wedding sites, there are several tools available to brides who are able to source and pull ideas from trending wedding details both traditional and contemporary during their wedding planning period.

Social media certainly has its benefits in sharing and developing lifestyle ideas, it also helps the bride to visualise; but its negative effects on a bride planning her dream wedding cannot be totally disregarded. As much as it is great for brides to visualise their ideas from several wedding details online; many will often realise that turning those ideas into reality may also seem complex.

The fact

The social media has certainly engaged brides to be people who really want to have the best of everything available to them during the wedding planning period, bearing in mind the busy lifestyle of a bride working full time yet wanting to take control of her big day too. The Wedding vendors play significant roles in ensuring the success of a wedding day. Many reputable vendors are sourced through social media websites, easy and convenient for brides to view samples of their works online as well as negotiate fees.

The temptations

Scrolling through your friend’s wedding photos can also cause drawbacks if you do not remain focused. Yes, it’s great to take ideas from other people’s wedding but you must also bear in mind the cost implication when reality sets in. Expectations are definitely high especially when a friend or close family member has had the privilege of staging a dream wedding you had always wished for.

Celebrity weddings can also be tempting as they generate many ideas and leads for many prospective brides. The temptation to stage a fantasy wedding similar to that of a celebrity is perhaps the uttermost desire of many social media brides.

Try to simplify

The best way to achieve your own is to focus on those elements which you love and believe are important first. Less is more they say; you might desire to replicate a certain element you found online. You can certainly have similar expectations as well as achieve your ‘own’ aspirations with the help of a wedding professional who can save you money by helping you find more affordable versions of those expensive wedding details you see online.
