If you want saves and shares, keep reading.
Weddings are all about storytelling. And carousels are prime opportunities for visual storytelling.
Whether you’re sharing a specific portion of the day or a recap, carousels provide visual context and storytelling that keep your audience engaged and swiping.
In a world of content over saturation, single image posts aren’t enough. We want more. Gen Z needs more.
With a majority focus for Gen Z being the overall wedding experience, a carousel is the glimpse behind the curtain. A visual representation that tells a more complete and compelling story.
And before you jump to “but what about reels,” we have several clients generating leads on IG regularly, without us posting a single reel.
We’ve been posting carousels, almost exclusively, for the last couple of years. The data shows that they perform better than reels for photo content.
They do really well with photos and videos.
The carousel limit is 20 slides. Do you have to do that every time? Heck no. But a single image post? That’s a no in our book.
The only exception? Timeline announcements for things like availability, hours, promotions, out of office, and emergencies.
Our favorite carousel updates over the last year that you might not know about:
📍Mixed orientation posting: Portraits and horizontals in one carousel, without a square crop
📍Reordering: Decide you want a different cover image? No problem. Accidentally post a reception image before the ceremony? Swap the order!
