We took a spin through our Instagram account (@Martha_Weddings) to find out which photos brides are most obsessed with.

More and more brides are turning to Instagram for wedding ideas, and we can see why! There are few things as inspiring (and OK, addicting) as scrolling through feeds filled with the most beautiful wedding dresses, cakes, flowers, décor, celeb couples, and more. And the whole experience can lead you down a wonderful rabbit hole of hashtags and handles, until you land on a concept—or an item, or a vendor—that's exactly what you were looking for. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to take a spin through our own account (@Martha_Weddings, if you don't follow us—and you should!) and see which snapshots brides and grooms and wedding enthusiasts like you liked the best. Without further ado, the Instagram photos that received the most likes and comments ever.
