You don’t need a crown to rule Instagram, just a throne chair and a selfie stick, as we prove below.
If you’ve purchased or hired a throne chair for an upcoming birthday, christening, wedding, or any other celebration, you will want to make the most of the photographs from the big day.
At Throne Kingdom, we’ve seen our fair share of throne selfies, with many of our customers tagging us on social media to show our thrones in action at everything from gender reveal celebrations to wedding days.
So, to help you create the perfect shots for your Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook feed, here’s our guide to throne selfies to help you make the most of this signature seating during any special event.
First: Why Use a Throne Chair?
Regardless of the event you’re hosting, throne chairs can serve as the VIP seating. It could be the sole chair for the birthday boy or girl, the seating for the bride and groom at a wedding breakfast, or exclusive seating for special guests at a dinner party.
Aesthetically, throne chairs take your event seating to the next level and serve as the perfect backdrop for special photographs throughout the day.
Some people leave a selfie stick next to the throne throughout the event, giving you ample opportunity to snap the perfect photo. Alternatively, you may even use the throne as a makeshift photo booth, adorned with props and extra decorations for memorable snaps.
But thrones also have a practical use at events. They’re comfortable and sturdy, and they help distinguish specific guests from others. No matter how they use them, they can be an asset for your event. Let’s now look at some tips that will help you take the perfect throne selfies after renting or buying a stunning throne chair.
Preparing the Perfect Throne Selfie
You must decide how to use and position the throne chairs at your event. You might find that the thrones have a dual purpose: they could be used for dinner seating, and then after the meal, they could star in a custom photo booth setup.
With this in mind, here are some tips that will help you prepare space and time at your event to encourage high-quality throne selfies among your guests:
-
Rely on natural lighting: Natural lighting is your best friend unless you’re a professional photographer (or you hire one for your event). Position the throne in the room to ensure it benefits from natural light and doesn’t require special lighting.
-
Check the backdrop: The throne is the star attraction, but you must consider what’s behind it. Avoid mirrors and windows due to the glare, and clean up any surfaces or counters in view if you place the throne inside.
-
Provide props: Props can be a fun and affordable way to assemble a fabulous photo shoot with your throne as the base. If it’s a royal theme, crowns, tiaras, and flowers can all work well. We provide further inspiration below, based on the theme of your event.
-
Inform your guests: Don’t forget to tell your guests about the throne photoshoot! The last thing you want is for the chair to sit there empty all day, with nobody getting in on the action.
-
Buy a Polaroid camera: One of the best ways to take your throne selfies offline is to invest in a Polaroid camera. While your guests can snap the photos on their smartphones to upload them directly to Instagram, you will also have a hard copy of the selfies, which will make a lovely memento of the event.
Throne Selfie Inspiration: Themed Ideas for Your Upcoming Event
While you don’t need to set a theme to use a throne chair at an event, doing so can add something extra special to the event. Some popular ideas include:
-
Gothic: Gothic parties are in vogue right now, and this Lucifer Gothic Throne Chair could be the ideal signature seating option for your photoshoot.
-
Royalty: Whether it’s princes and princesses for kids or an adult royal-themed soiree, this theme can work really well with throne seating. The King Edward 100 Throne Chair could be the perfect option.
-
White: White summer parties have long been popular, offering stunning photo opportunities. This Tiffany 104 Royal Throne Chair could be the focal point of the event.
Caption & Hashtag Ideas for Your Throne Selfies
When you and your guests upload throne selfies, we recommend agreeing on a shared hashtag. Then, when you go online later after the event, you can easily find photos and selfies that others have taken.
You can then also consider the following captions and hashtags, which could work well as you share photos of your family and friends sitting on the thrones:
Captions:
-
“Bow down.”
-
“Ruling my feed, one post at a time.”
-
“All throne, no drama.”
-
“Coronated by confidence.”
