As the world introduces more and more gadgets and technology into our every day lives, why should weddings be left behind? It's time to plug in some of these new-age ideas and make your wedding a modern day experience that is not only fun but also smart!
Selfie Sticks + Fuji Instax Camera
This is the most loved way to capture memories at any wedding. Selfie at the mandap, selfie with the bride, selfie at the baraat – the list is never ending! You can keep selfie sticks at you wedding venue to encourage people to take group selfies during the wedding festivities. It's done-to-death and more but is still super popular. You could also put together a few Fuji Instax Cameras that bring out that polaroid nostalgia.

Lip Dub videos are slowing catching up to the whole wedding scene in India. It's fun way to involve the entire family in one wedding element and also mix in a little of Bollywood along with it! We love how Atul and Kanika did their own bit with all of their family and friends.
Snapchat & Insta Stories
The Snapchat fever is HUGE in India and Insta stories is just adding to it. These mini videos will literally live stream your wedding and create memories for life. This is a fairly simple and easy way for your guests to have fun in your wedding. No detail is too small to explore guys!
Facebook Live
It’s a relatively new element in the social media world but absolutely stunning when you can actually interact with people across the world through it! At WMG we use FB Live in all it's glory: check out our videos and see how you can use it for your wedding!
Hashtags

In the world of #weddinggoals, hashtags are the best thing to happen in social media. You can create your own cute hashtags that can be used across platforms. This is not only an adorable way to commemorate your wedding but also acts as a quick search tool for anyone following your wedding. Dubsmash How fun would it be if as a Thank You note to your guests, you could send a Dubsmash video with your spouse? You can also make your guests RSVP through fun and interactive Dubsmash videos and use the best ones in your wedding film! WhatsappPicture Courtesy: Aditi & Riday's Wedding
Though it is a messenger, it is a lifesaver when it comes to co-ordinating with huge groups of people. You can use it to make sangeet practice groups, to delegate wedding duties and even plan your bachelorette! DronesPicture Courtesy: Stories by Joseph Radhik
To drone, or not to drone—apparently, that's the question! These image- capturing aircrafts are the latest trend in the bridal market and may be just the ticket for scoring cinematic quality aerial footage. GoPro The walk-down the mandap is one of the more special and memorable moments of the wedding day and trust us, it goes by quickly. Stick a mini GoPro in your bouquet, or nariyal or even kaleeras and capture photos and videos as you walk down the aisle or mandap. Stream Your Wedding Live streaming isn't exactly new, but the way in which you can live-stream certainly is. Use Skype or Periscope to live-stream your wedding straight from your phone or tablet for guests who live far away.
