6 Hottest Wedding Tech Trends in 2021
After the chaos of the past year, weddings are finally back. That’s fantastic news for couples originally hoping to tie the knot back in 2020. At last, we can all share in the romance and, best of all, let loose out on the dancefloor.
But hold up!
With a revolution of remote technologies sweeping through society, our biggest ceremonies are also undergoing a shift.
Weddings might be back, but as we’ve never seen them before.
That’s not to say weddings won’t still be the grand events we know and love. Just that the hottest tech is now going to be augmenting and enhancing the Big Day, in ways we could never have imagined. Pretty exciting, right?
Below we explore all the latest apps, gadgets, tech, and wedding trends wowing your guests in 2021.
1. Drones: Weddings from the air
Want a photo that’s out of this world? (Or at least up in the air.) Try hiring a drone. Capturing the ceremony and reception from the air can provide stunning aerial shots of the day. It’s a totally new perspective.
You can even get the whole crowd involved with a high-up shot of everyone who made the day special.
2. GIF photo booth
After a couple of drinks, photo booths are always fantastic fun. Even better is looking through the snaps in the following days and weeks.
But what if we went one step further? A photo booth that captures GIFs. That way, you capture all of the magic in motion. And you’ll still get printouts too.
3. 3D printing potential
Here’s the thing about 3D printing: your imagination is the limit. If you fancy personalised cake toppers of you and your partner atop your wedding cake, you can print photo-realistic figures. Or decorate your venues with beautiful and intricate designs. You can even print a bouquet you won’t find anywhere else.
There’s almost nothing you can’t print, meaning your wedding can be unique, bespoke, perfect.
4. Virtual wedding planning
Most of us are getting used to remote work. But why not take it a step further? How about planning your wedding from afar?
That’s exactly what thousands of wedding planners are now doing. If you’re planning a wedding halfway around the world, liaise with your planner over a video call. It’ll take away all the stress of travel.
5. Live-Stream the Big Day
Not everyone can be there for the Big Day. Now there’s a perfect solution: live-stream the wedding. That way, grandma can see all the fun and frivolity from the comfort of home. And your cousin in another continent doesn’t have to miss out on the memories.
Give it a try!
6. Selfiebot
Hiring a wedding photographer is a pricey business. But that’s about to change with the world’s first robot photographer. Selfiebot is more than just a photo booth on wheels. Heading out into the crowd, it captures your wedding as the day unfolds.
Even better, it’ll print photos instantly or send them to guests. Meaning you can cherish all the moments – even the embarrassing ones – for years to come.
