Using Pinterest to Plan Your Wedding

You’re finally engaged! Congratulations!!

After celebrating this milestone with close friends and family the next part is the wedding planning.

We’ve talked to a lot of newly engaged couples and one of the first things that comes to their minds are color palettes, themes, and the dress code. Wedding planning is a serious undertaking. But first, take a breath. If you don’t have a clear wedding vision, you are not alone! There are a lot of people who are in the same situation, however, Pinterest is a great source of inspiration and to get those creative ideas flowing.

Here are some quick tips to get you started with Pinterest to keep you on track with your wedding planning!

Start with a fresh Pinterest account

A word of advice – have a clear game plan with an inspiration board on Pinterest. And no, we’re not talking about that Pinterest wedding board you’ve been pinning to from 5 years ago.

We’re talking about creating a brand new inspiration board. Something that will bring your vision to life. Start with a blank slate. Create boards for specific elements of your wedding. Wedding Dresses, Table Styling, and Wedding Themes, for example.

Use specific keywords when searching for images

You’re probably familiar with Pinterest’s fantastic searching feature. Use keywords to search for a specific style and create beautifully curated boards to bring your vision to life. Instead of the old school variety of ripping out beautiful images from a magazine and putting them on a bulletin board, collate them on an easily shared inspiration board instead. What is even better is that each image is linked to their respective website. You can easily purchase the things you need or find the style you want. Learn DIY crafts and stay up to date with the latest trend.

Get a second opinion

Pinterest is so useful in bringing your ideas together. If you want the opinion of your family or best friends, you can share your board. They can leave their comments which makes the whole planning process more interactive and fun!

Stay on track and don’t get too carried away with pinning

Pinterest is overflowing with creative and beautiful images. It’s important to keep track of what you like. After all, Pinterest is flooded with beautiful images of weddings past. It’s very easy to get distracted and start pinning like crazy. If you’ve gone overboard with your pins, go back to each respective board and taking a look at it as a whole. Do you notice any patterns or similarities? Stick with what you love and remove the pins that don’t fit into that beautiful vision of yours.
