Morning Prep Content Ideas
Kick-start the wedding day as you intend to go on, prepare the props, set the tone, and others will mirror your actions.
- Fizz popping and stylish glass pours
- Cute outfits, hair in rollers, shades on
- Big laughs on the bed
- A sing-along to your favourite tune
- A lively dance party
- Vintage lobby trolley antics like Chloe’s wedding morning
- TikTok trends and transitions – here’s a list for inspiration
- Flatlays with special items (prepare this)
- Wedding outfit focus and close-ups
- Putting on the outfits
- Mirror reflections
- Playing with light at windows
- Final touches to hair and make-up
- First looks with chosen people
- First look with your partner
Tip: Task someone with tidying the room before we arrive. You don’t want stale toast and tatty tote bags popping up in your content.
Ceremony Content Ideas
Consider your ceremony set-up and choose the ideas that work both logistically and stylistically.
- A big entrance
- Cute entrances like pre-recorded words from kids
- Chosen people skits – flower guys, shot sharers, high fives
- Dogs as ring bearers, kids as ring security, rings hidden under seats
- Traditional customs such as warming of the rings and handfasting
- A big yassss when you’re announced as newlyweds
- A dip while walking back down the aisle
Tip: If possible, ensure there is room down the outside of the aisle (between the seats and walls) so your media team can move freely. Be mindful that the iPhone lens can only stretch so far, so your Wedding Content Creator should have some opportunity to film close up at the top of the aisle.
Photoshoot Content Ideas
Make the awkward posed segment of your day a little more bearable with the following content ideas.
- Hiring a naturally funny photographer or one with hacks to get some natural laughs out of you
- Props such as paper parasols, sunglasses, cars, and golf carts
- Helpful items such as umbrellas – classic or cheeky like the f*cking rain brollies
- Including your dogs? Consider hiring a chaperone
- Confetti tunnel or confetti circle (venue permitting)
Tip: I love filming movement, especially natural movement, so I’m always looking for a look exchange, a laugh, a touch, or those moments just after groups are dismissed when people hug or chat.
Wedding Breakfast (Meal and Speeches) Content Ideas
Get the speeches smashed and the party started.
As I said earlier, your guests will mirror your energy, so plan the wedding content ideas you like and then let them play out naturally on the day.
- A first look at the decor and table layout
- Romantic fly-on-the-wall private chat with partner
- Live entertainment – singer, drag performer, magician, sketch artist
- A grand entrance as newlyweds
- Champagne tower, cocktail tower, dessert tower
- Saxophone power hour
- Projected photos and videos
Tip: Analyse the venue’s previous weddings online and see what content works and what doesn’t.
Wedding Reception Content Ideas
Keep the party going with these suggestions and dancefloor prompts.
Nothing kills the vibe like a loose schedule or an empty floor.
- A second dress change
- A second dress reveal with your partner
- Hire a stand-out compere
- Present the schedule via a sign
- Announce the entrance plan so guests know what’s happening
- Big entrance – live music, dance, parade, pet portraits, high fives, confetti blast, sparklers
- Unique cake experience – candles, tiramisu scoop
- A great DJ set – dancing content always lands well
- Saxophone on the dancefloor
- Photobooths, Polaroids, or similar for your guest book
- Fireworks display
Tip: Consider the lighting. A decent lighting setup in a dark room will massively improve your content. Tell your guests to dance with your Wedding Content Creator for epic party content.
How to Keep People on the Dancefloor
- Hire a venue with one space, a bar in the room, and no hotel rooms for guests to vanish to
- Invite party people – sounds obvious, but if no one dances, the floor will stay empty
- Keep the entrance timeline tight
- A big entrance with a clear path to the dancefloor
- Cut the cake where everyone can see
- Straight into the first dance
- Compere instructs everyone to join the second dance
- Straight into a ceilidh or floor filler
- Stay on the dancefloor – your guests will mirror your behaviour
- Provide flip-flops for comfort and shades to hide behind – give these out
- Dim the lights
- Invest in an entertainment team – compere, DJ, dancers, live artists
- Discuss playlists beforehand – include floor fillers such as The Slosh and Proud Mary
Important Note
Your wedding should reflect you and your partner.
Avoid planning anything that makes either of you feel awkward, as the fear will show on your face.
You’re not alone in choosing what’s right for you.
