If you're in the midst of planning your dream wedding, chances are you've already begun to gather inspiration from a variety of sources. From magazines and blogs to Instagram and Pinterest, there are countless places to find ideas for everything from your dress to your décor. While there are so many resources out there for wedding planning, I highly recommend creating an inspiration board on Pinterest.
Not only is Pinterest a fantastic way to organize and keep track of your ideas, but it's also a fantastic resource for finding inspiration in the first place. With millions of pins and boards dedicated to weddings, there are plenty of ideas to discover. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps of creating a wedding inspiration board on Pinterest, from setting up your account to sharing your ideas with your partner and vendors.
Why You Should Make an Inspiration Board
Before we dive into the specifics of creating a wedding inspiration board on Pinterest, it's worth mentioning why having an inspiration board is important in the first place. Whether it's physical or digital, an inspiration board serves as a visual representation of your wedding vision. It's a place to gather all of your ideas in one place, allowing you to see the overall theme and style of your wedding at a glance. It also helps keep your ideas focused so that so you can stay true to your vision. The last thing you want is for your wedding decor to look confusing or cluttered with incohesive ideas.
Why Pinterest?
Using Pinterest as your platform of choice has several benefits. For one, it's incredibly easy to use. All you need is an account to start pinning ideas to your heart's content. Pinterest is also a great way to collaborate with your partner, as you can both add to the same boards and share ideas back and forth. And if you're working with wedding vendors, you can easily share your inspiration board with them to give them a better sense of your vision.
You will find that the majority of the photos and ideas on this platform are of higher quality than those on other platforms. The search results are also more likely to be modern, sophisticated, and original than what you would find through a Google search. That’s how the phrase “it’s Pinterest worthy” came to be. While TikTok is also a great way to find unique ideas and inspiration, it’s not as easy to save and organize those ideas as it is on Pinterest.
Setting Up a Pinterest Account
If you don't already have a Pinterest account, the first step is to create one. You can do this by visiting www.pinterest.com and clicking the "Sign up" button in the top right corner. From there, you'll be asked to enter your email address and create a password. Once you've completed this process, you'll be taken to your profile page. It takes less than five minutes.
Next, you'll want to set up your profile and preferences. This includes adding a profile picture, writing a short bio, and choosing your interests. You can also connect your Facebook and Twitter accounts, which will allow you to share your pins on those platforms as well.
Finding Inspiration
Now comes the fun part – finding inspiration! There are a few different ways to do this on Pinterest. One is to simply search for specific keywords or phrases related to your wedding. For example, if you're looking for ideas for your wedding dress, you could search for terms like "wedding dresses," "bridal gowns," or "wedding dress inspiration."
Another way to find inspiration on Pinterest is to use the "related pins" feature. This is a handy tool that shows you pins related to the ones you're looking at. Simply click on a pin that catches your eye, and Pinterest will show you a list of related pins on the right-hand side of the screen.
Finally, you can follow other users and boards for ideas. If you find a user or board with a similar style or theme to what you're looking for, you can follow them to see their latest pins. You can also use Pinterest's "Explore" feature to find popular boards and users in a specific category. I highly recommend following a few popular wedding accounts for inspiration, like The Knot, Wedding Wire, and Style Me Pretty.
Organizing Your Ideas
Once you've started finding inspiration, it's important to organize your ideas into relevant boards. This will make it easier to reference your ideas later on and keep everything organized. If you haven’t decided on a theme or style for your wedding, you can easily make multiple boards for each option and decide from there. Once you decide on a style, you are basically locked in until the wedding, so I recommend taking your time with this and collecting many ideas before deciding.
Keep Your Boards Updated
During the wedding planning process, keep your inspiration board handy and reference it frequently. You may need to share the link to your board with vendors such as wedding planners or coordinators, venues, dress and tux shops, hair stylists, makeup artists, and florists. Be sure to keep your inspiration board updated with any changes as you progress in the planning process.
Creating a wedding inspiration board on Pinterest is a great way to organize and keep track of your ideas for your big day. Not only is Pinterest easy to use and a great platform for collaboration, but it also has a wealth of high-quality and original wedding inspiration to choose from. Setting up a Pinterest account and finding inspiration is simple and straightforward, and sharing your board with your partner and vendors can help ensure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to bringing your wedding vision to life. So go ahead, create that inspiration board and start pinning away!
