Asian Wedding social media influencers.  Lest face it, the way people plan weddings have changed.  And in the last 10 years considerably thanks to social media and the rise of the Pinterest and  Instagram.  In the good old days, couples would eagerly await the publication of  bridal magazines such as Vouge Bride, Asiana Magazine, Bride Magazine. Flip through and rip out pages and stick them in a scrap wedding book.  Wedding  magazine editors  were good, and curated themes, colours and ideas to inspire you.  While  couples hung on there every word and idea they were still a distant apart.   Fast forward to 2020 and what do we have.  A new type of person to help you curate and inspire you, but this time they are more accessible and closer. Welcome to peer to peer inspiration and the world of the influencer.

So what is an influencer ? Essentially its a type of celebrity endorsement, but not just for celebrities anymore, but anyone who is passionate about their world, topic or just about anything really and tell the niche audience about it.  Sometimes is sponsored content other times is just the pure love of the product or experience.
