Digital resources are definitely very popular when it comes to wedding planning, and one of the more frequently used ones is Pinterest! So many future brides, females who are in long-term relationships, and just females in general seem to be able to get easily sucked into the wonderful, never ending world of Pinterest ideas such as wedding dresses, venue décor, floral arrangements, cake designs, wedding hair and makeup and so much more.
When first deciding to use Pinterest, as an official resource for your wedding, be sure to start off with organization. You want to strategically keep all your wedding components on separate boards. We recommend using separate boards instead of pinning ALL of your wedding items on one board, because things can get overcrowded and lost.
Creating your board as a secret board is definitely a good idea, if you don’t want others to know what you are doing prior to the wedding. Once a board is secret you can pin as much as you want and no one will ever be able to see.
The great thing about Pinterest is that you can be as broad or as specific as you wish. If you have no idea where or how to start searching, try the word “wedding.” And for those who know exactly what they want, you can search specific phrase like “blue rose bouquet” “DIY centerpiece” “summer wedding” and more! Clicking on images will also lead you to other similar photos, which is the very exact reason that people end up with hundreds of pins!
Being descriptive with your vendors is key. A great way to do that is to make a note in the description of each pin noting why you like it and how you want to use it.
Another hidden gem on Pinterest is the fact that you can allow your vendors to collaborate on your boards, which will help them provide you with even more of an accurate depiction of your dream weddings.
When using Pinterest, definitely make sure that you are being realistic and true to yourself. Pin things that YOU like and not the most popular images. Also keep in mind that some of these images are from professionally styled photo-shoots, so go in with an understanding that all of these photos may not be fully achievable for your wedding, but more so for inspiration.
With all of this information on your mind, you will surely be an expert on Pinterest in no time! If you’d like for Devoted to Your Event to help you in the process and take away the stress during this busy time, don’t hesitate to reach out, we’d be happy to help; it’s what we love to do!
