So you just got engaged and like a lot of us women we have been dreaming of this day since you were 10 years old. So how do you organize the eight different color schemes, 12 different wedding cakes and 50 different bridal gown ideas you have going on in your head? With a wedding inspiration board! First things first, an inspiration or mood board is a kind of collage that has been used 
for many years by creative professionals such as graphic and fashion designers to communicate a complex creative vision for a project. It started as a 3D concept – literally a 
pin board with fabrics, drawings, patterns, color swatches and textures added and taken away until the balance felt right (you can still work this way – use a cork board that you can add to and take away from easily). Nowadays, digital boards are the norm, and that’s what you’ll usually find on wedding blogs. Websites like Pinterest and Tumblr make it very easy to upload and organize pictures and ideas alike. The advantage of the digital board is in its portability. You can easily have it on your iPad or phone for reference, or email it to your suppliers.
- Gather Your Images
Don’t rush this part! You don’t have to do it in one session. If you’ve been curating one or more wedding Pinterest boards, you’re already well on your way. Save your favorite images into a single folder. An inspiration board is about a feeling and an atmosphere as much as it’s about colors and themes. You can find pictures via Pinterest or Google images, or by browsing your favorite wedding blogs.
- Pick Your Favorites
Now it’s time to narrow down your collection. Choose the ones that ‘speak’ to you the most, that give you that little feeling of excitement or satisfaction. You want your board to reflect a cohesive and fluid idea and outline for what you want your magical day to look like. The best thing about this is there is no wrong answer because it’s completely and totally up to you. It’s your day!
- Put Your Board Together
After you have looked through and searched high and low for every possible detail for your big day and then narrowed it down to something a bit more attainable, it is time to put your board together! There are about five billion different ways to do this so this is where you can get really creative! You can do it on a website like Pinterest or on a wedding blog inspiration board generator, or take the more 3D approach and actually get a cork board and pin on the pictures and fabric swatches etc. The choice is yours and there really is an unlimited way to do it!
