Social Media Savior: How to Post with Purpose in the Wedding Industry

Laurie Hartwell & Krisy Thomas - CWP Society Season 4 Episode 12

Feeling overwhelmed by social media? You're not alone. Wedding professionals often struggle to maintain a consistent online presence that actually converts to bookings. Serena Waller, founder of the Dande Agency, joined, CWP Society's COO, Krisy Thomas, for this episode of the Wedding Planner Pro Files podcast to break down the ever-shifting landscape of social media marketing for wedding pros.

Serena breaks down the surprising truth about Instagram's algorithm changes, hashtags are out, keywords are in. Google is now crawling Instagram content, fundamentally changing how your posts get discovered. She shares practical strategies for writing captions that align with your images, helping potential clients find you when searching for specific wedding elements. Her yearbook editor approach to caption writing offers a refreshingly simple framework for even the most caption-challenged pros.

Beyond posting tactics, we explore the critical relationship between aesthetics and profitability. A pretty feed might catch the eye, but strategic content drives bookings. Serena explains how inconsistency across platforms erodes trust, revealing why your website and social presence must tell the same story about who you are as a professional. Many wedding pros are shocked to discover that their beautiful Instagram account doesn't match their website's messaging, creating confusion for potential clients.

Looking toward future trends, Serena emphasizes the continuing importance of authentic video content that doesn't require professional production. She shares insights on balancing personal authenticity with professional expertise—a delicate dance that today's couples expect from their wedding vendors.

Whether you're posting daily or struggling to post at all, this episode offers actionable advice for creating a social media presence that works for your business, not against it.
