February 25, 2021
After you’ve said “Yes!” and celebrated your engagement with loved ones, it’s time to start wedding planning. We’re here to help you plan everything you need to create a day that is undeniably you. As you start to form a vision of your wedding day aesthetic, a wedding mood board can help guide decisions and visually explain your desires to your wedding team.
This blog article explains a simple, three-step guide to create a wedding mood board that captures the essence of your personalities, style, and wedding vision overall.
Let’s start…
What is a Wedding Mood Board? A wedding mood board is a carefully curated collage of photos that convey the look, essence, and feeling you are hoping to create through your wedding design.
Step One. Discuss your wedding dreams together
Before you grab your laptop and start to type ‘Pinterest’ in the search bar, do a little offline work with your partner. If there is one piece of advice, we want to ring true, it’s to use this time to explore your relationship and who you are together. Set a date night to discuss what you each envision for your wedding day. Be mindful of the words and phrases you are using—have a pen and paper handy to jot them down as you dream of your day.
Step Two. Explore your style
Pinterest can be an excellent tool for finding hundreds of wedding inspiration photos. We would encourage using Pinterest boards to collate images for your mood board. Pinterest boards are especially helpful to compare different elements of style that are not only wedding photos.
Narrow Your Pinterest Wedding Search with These Points:
- What type of home decor do we gravitate towards? Search for design inspiration homes and bedrooms. Spaces that feel like somewhere you’d enjoy spending time in.
- Pin clothes, accessories, fashion blogger outfits, etc. All of these will help explain your style and can be translated into wedding design.
- Search different typography on Pinterest. What elements of design are you drawn to? Do you like big, bold fonts or more classic elements?
Step Three. Choose up to eight images to place on your mood board
Now that you’ve formed a vision with your partner and started to collect inspiration, it’s time to start refining your collection. Choose the top six photos from your Pinterest board and phone photo library and start creating.
