You recently got engaged and might be thinking of creating a wedding mood board, but you find yourself not knowing where to start or how to create one.
Mood boards are used in event planning and interior design to capture the mood, style, colours and overall feel and are usually created at the early stages of the planning process. Having a wedding mood board gives you and everyone involved in the planning a clear sense of design direction. There are many ways to create a mood board, Pinterest, Canva and Adobe Illustrator are common. Which one to choose is a personal preference, in this blog post, I will guide you through how to create a wedding mood board on Pinterest.
As a platform, Pinterest has a plethora of images and wedding inspiration content, which you can easily pin on to your board. The bad news is that this might leave you confused.
How to Create a Wedding Mood Board on Pinterest
- Step 1: Establish your vision and mood. Think of how you want the day to feel.
- Step 2: Gather ideas. This is where the fun of pinning images begins.
- Log in to your Pinterest account and click the + sign at the bottom of your screen, if you’re using your mobile. Select board and give your board a name. You can either keep it private or share it with others.
- Once you have created your board, you can now begin to pin images. In addition to wedding-related imagery, you’d want to include in your board typography, textures and patterns that fit in with your chosen theme.
- Make sure to also include a color scheme. You can find color schemes on Pinterest that you can pin to your mood board. Otherwise, applications like Color & Palette offer a color palette based on an image of your choice.
- Step 3: Edit. Consider the main elements that are non-negotiables in your theme. Remove anything that doesn’t fit in, or that isn’t working. Can you clearly visualise your Big Day? The overall feel of your wedding mood board needs to be a cohesive range of ideas that work well together.
Tip: When creating your wedding mood board, you don’t need to pin an image of every aspect of your wedding. Select a few images that fit in with your theme. Keeping photos to a minimum will help you avoid having numerous photos about the same concept, which might feel overwhelming.
