It’s 2017 of course, and a new wedding column, #OurInstagramWeddingOfTheWeek, has been birthed on your favorite blog, KFB for Thursdays!
You see, Nigerian couples and their planners are not going to run out of wedding themes anytime soon.
From Cinderella/princess themed weddings to forest themed weddings, we thought we had seen it all until we heard about #AdUche2016’s social media themed wedding.
Adaugo and Uchenna met on social media so the theme was perfect. Their wedding planner and vendor, IPC Events did an excellent job bringing all the elements together.
Here’s a break down on some of the things that made #AdUche2016 awesome.
1. Two hash tags: Unlike the everyday one hashtag weddings we see on Instagram, this one had two hash tags, #AdUche2016 and #SocialLove16.
2. Pre-wedding shoot: Their pre-wedding shoot was shot by Abuja based wedding photographer, George Okoro and it was traditionally inspired.
3. The groom’s special message to his bride: The groom via IPC Events,
reached out to wedding bloggers and asked that they record a special
message fr his bride. All the messages were uploaded on Instagram and
the bride got tagged and saw the messages while getting ready to walk
down the aisle to meet her groom.

4. Their wedding vows: The groom, Uche really wasn’t playing with the social media theme. His vows were
social media inspired and he wrote them on an Instagram profile page
template as seen below:
5. Stationery: All the wedding stationery
items were social media themed and took the layout of popular social
media platforms like BBM, Whatsapp, etc. Some items such as twitter
inspired table numbers stood out.
