Unplugged weddings are becoming increasingly common, and our popular post 23 Photos that Will Make You have an Unplugged Wedding<\/a> certainly gets a lot of interest on social media with many couples considering it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course going unplugged doesn’t have to mean no photos at all, but here we think going unplugged for the ceremony is a worthy cause and should be a serious consideration. Let your guests watch you tie the knot and get married to the love of your life, instead of them watching behind a lens, or phone screen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you have decided you want to go unplugged, be it for the ceremony or the whole day, then the next step is to let everyone know. A common way to do this is through a simple sign that makes it clear it guests on arrival. Below we have rounded up 17 photos of signs and notices that you could use. Take note of how they are worded, as that’s sometimes the trickiest part.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wooden signs can be put up at the ceremony entrance and there’s a vast range to choose from on Etsy or Amazon. Adding a little note to your invitation is another good way to make your guests aware.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While signs and wedding notices are a great way to let people know, a mention by the ushers to guests with a camera and an announcement by the best man or celebrant will help to ensure that everyone knows what’s expected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you are undecided about going unplugged or not for the ceremony then consider why you have asked guests to be there. Of course most will enjoy the moment with you, however we all have those friends that can’t help but get their phone out and take some snaps, but you don’t want to look at your friends and family to see a camera or phone pointing back. You want to see their smiles, their emotions, the joy, or even that little tear in their eye. That is what makes it special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is no need to ban photos for the whole day, but do consider politely asking your guests to refrain from taking photos in the ceremony and just enjoy the moment with you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
