#JustMarried The Summer’s Best Wedding Hashtags


If you’ve recently been to a lot of weddings (or have seen them on Instagram) you know that wedding hashtags are currently a major trend. Brides and grooms will often create a clever or punny tag using a combination of their names in order to curate a collection of guest photos via Instagram. While this theme of having a wedding hashtag is fairly new, it is an incredibly popular one. Here are our favorite picks from our summer 2018 weddings at Regatta Place & OceanCliff.
