Last month we held our very first #Wedgram for Wedding Lovers Challenge. You can read more about #Wedgram here and meet last month’s winner here. Essentially #Wedgram gives you the chance to put on your Designer/Stylist hat and create a Vignette or Flat-lay for Instagram. We set the theme, but it is completely open to interpretation and we love to see ‘out of the box’ approaches.
Our Guest Judge this month is Lisa Macale of Willow Tree Creative. Lisa was named one of Australia’s top 25 Stylists in 2015 and her Styled Shoots have been widely published in Australia & New Zealand. She is also an Australian & New Zealand Academy of Wedding & Event Planning Tutor. Lisa has a fresh, elegant yet modern style and a great eye for what works on Instagram and we are delighted to have her joining us to judge #Wedgram in November.
Register here to be notified of this month’s #Wedgram theme when the challenge kicks off on Monday. You will also be emailed full instructions of how to participate. Entries for this month’s #Wedgram close on Monday 21st November and the winner will be announced on Monday the 28th. Good luck and have fun with this month’s challenge.
