If you’re anything like us, Instagram has pretty much taken over your life lately as you wean yourself off Pinterest and try to manage the daily deluge of pretty that you subject yourself to – for better or for worse! Thing is, Instagram is great, and it’s a fab way to keep up with your fave blogs, photographers and people who make you feel inspired. Of course there are millions of Instagrammers to follow for wedding inspiration in particular, but even just finding the ones worth a ‘follow’ takes up way too much of anyone’s time so we’ve decided to do the leg work (finger work?) for you.
