Thanks (or no thanks) to Instagram, fans can get almost instant access to what their favourite celebrity is wearing or doing … So is it any surprise that many of these stars have shared their big wedding news via a picture-perfect snap too?

Be it Singapore star Jade Seah’s sweet engagement pic, Kim Kardashian’s snaps of her big rock or Kelly Osbourne’s matchy manicure-and-ring snap, there’s really so many ways to frame that photo of your wedding ring or rings.

This is one situation where a picture really says a thousand words; so look to these Instagrams for the perfect photo inspiration, should you decide to make your big announcement — or share a celebratory anniversary pic.

1. Kim Kardashian
That bit of ‘cute’ helps. It may not be the first (nor even the most recent) photo you’ll see of this Kardashian’s gigantic sparkler of a ring. But this New Year’s Eve snap really takes the cake for showing her wedding bling in its full glory, while still drawing some happy sighs with that little peek of baby girl North West — just her left arm though! And in the unapologetically showy Kardashian style, you also witness exactly how huge Kim’s rock is.

2. Jade Seah
Take the attention away from the ring. This is the kind of picture you might want to aim for, if you really have to share the news on Instagram. So look to Jade Seah’s snap: The focus here is on the glee on her face and less on the size of her wedding bling. The result is a very sweet pic of her looking so very pleased, with friends and fans being as happy for her too.

3. Fann Wong
Feature your wedding band in your selfie. Celebrate your “everyday” marital bliss every day with your wedding band in your pic. This famed Singapore selfie queen may wear just a simple, discreet gold band but all the additional glitter comes from her other gems of the day. If you need more selfie inspiration, Fann Wong does have more toned down options: like with her cheery nails in this fab manicure pic.

4. Olivia Palermo
Do make a video out of it. Granted, this type of Instagram is a collaborative effort between you and your other half. But the result is just oh-so-sweet and memorable, as this insta-video by style star Olivia Palermo’s fiancé would show. Model-photographer Johannes Huebl perfectly captures his bride-to-be’s elation, while sharing the happy news and also a peek at her stunning engagement ring.

5. Nicole Richie
Pick the best accessories. If you got it, flaunt it, right? So make it an occasional snap while accessorising it right, like Nicole Richie. This reality TV star’s glittery snap features not only her octogonal wedding bling (on the right) but also all that additional glitter from last year’s Met Gala bash. And some really pretty nails to consider for your big day manicure …

6. Ashley Tisdale
Nails matter. Ashley Tisdale may be another celeb so fond of flashing her wedding bling that we’ve nearly lost count of the number of times we’ve seen that huge rock. But you got to give props to how she nearly always has the best nails to go with her engagement ring. While we would advise you to keep such pics to a minimum, make the few snaps count with the best nails around; you do want to keep your Instagram followers, right?

7. Ciara
Include your man in it. After all, he’s going to be the one standing next to you at the altar. So if you really have to show your huge gem in it, do put him in the photo too, like Ciara has done with her fiancé and fellow R&B musician Future (while showing off his very impressive tatts too).
