Tweet Your Way to Your Dream Wedding - Twitter for Brides
You may be a little confused with this whole Twitter thing... don't worry, you're not alone. We've had many Brides ask us "What is twitter even for?" and more importantly "How can Twitter help me plan my wedding?"
The whole wedding industry has embraced Twitter as a easy way to update brides. Twitter is not just a place to see what your coworker ate for lunch today (although it can be a great community to support fellow Brides-to-be in your quest for the ultimate wedding day body). Twitter allows you follow wedding professionals and experts from across the county (and the world) and receive quick updates or links to the latest wedding ideas and trends. We've compiled a list of our favorite wedding vendors tweeting great deals, tips and amazing wedding resources day in and day out.
Here's how to get started:
- 1) Go to Twitter and sign up for your free account.
2) Choose who to follow. We've compiled a list of our favorites below to get you started.
