5 Ways To Tech Your Wedding

Being Geek has never been so fashionable. From comic heroes flying on the big screen, responsively predictive smart homes, to artificially intelligent life assistants and health monitoring wearables, sci-fi level tech injects our lives with the power to do more, with less. Likewise, this phenomenon leaves us with more time to figure out how to use it to create new experiences.

The world of weddings is no exception. Web collaboration engines empower the DIY movement and web services offer everything from a digital coordinator to a personalized website for your big day.

Go beyond the wedding website and online registry. Today’s top tech is so seamless and easy to use, incorporating it into your wedding can be an amazing way to feature customization. Put a personal touch, empower memories, and express yourself during your celebration with these 5 unique ideas.

Wedding Drones
Straight to the coolest – drones. They’re everywhere and your wedding day should be no exception. Many wedding photographers offer drones as part of their packages these days. The breathtaking aerial shots that drones offer are a thing previously available only on the Hollywood big screen. But video isn’t the only thing drones can do. Get creative.

For the True Geek: Wedding Drone Ring Bearer…enough said.

Capturing the Big Day
Drones aren’t the only way to get cool video. Today’s cameras are so versatile and small, there’s no reason to miss out on any candid, unique moment on your special day. For her, a GoPro in the wedding bouquet for a “bride cam” view; for him, a tie-clip camera.

For the True Geek: Skip the wedding videographer all together and set up GoPro cameras throughout the venue.

Crowdsource Your Memories
Turn every guest at the wedding into a videographer. Encourage guests to participate and make the tables more interactive with selfie sticks at each table. Collect photos and video using a collection site like Shutterfly. Then, companies like WeddingMix, ProEditors and BlushDrop can turn the raw video into a video you’ll remember forever.

For the True Geek: Let the precious memories have an instant impact by projecting photos and quotes live at the event using an event hashtag. DJs can usually set this up easily.

Think Beyond Reality
From popping the big question to the wedding, bulk up on the impact of your news with a marriage proposal that goes beyond this world: VR. Consider this techy groom-to-be who virtually transported his betrothed to her favorite spot in the world via VR. Is tech and development a little out of your wheelhouse? Photo booths have similar functionality these days with options like a GIF Booth, which sends interactive GIFs to a guest’s phone instantly. Guests won’t be able to resist sharing on social sites. You could also optimize shareability through Snapchat with custom, geo-targeted filters on the cheap.

For the True Geek: Family having trouble getting to the wedding? No problem, include them virtually like this couple. Get creative for a combination of virtual and real activities making an unforgettable memory for all.

Wear it
Capturing the emotions of the day can go well beyond photos and videos. These days many wearables can track heart rate. Using your wearable of choice, keep track of what moments make your heart race the most. After all the hustle and bustle of the big day, compare how the celebration impacted you with your new spouse.

For the True Geek: Have the heart ratings overlain into your wedding video so you can combine the visual and emotional together for an eternal reminder of just how grand the day felt.

In closing, remember that your wedding day and various experiences leading up to it is about your love and commitment to each other. However, it doesn’t hurt to have a little fun in the process. Release your inner Geek and get creative with tech use. Need some futuristic inspiration for your wedding finger too? We suggest exploring Lashbrook men’s rings made of meteorite and diamond dust, Karl Lagerfeld’s geometric bands, or Qalo bands made from silicone.
