Mood Board

A Mood Board is a very helpful way for you to begin putting together the type of theme and vibe that you want your wedding to have. Creating a Mood Board on Pinterest is the best way to do it so it is easy to share with vendors or your event planner to help them understand what you are wanting. When creating this board, it is helpful to follow these five steps:

1. Identify your Guide Words-

Identifying guide words can help you stick with the same theme and vibe throughout the planning process.

When doing this think of the type of vibe you want to portray: Intimate, Adventurous, Vivacious, Romantic.

Then think of the type of look you want to go with that vibe: Elegant, Bohemian, Woodsy, Modern, Geometric.

2. Embrace Color & Texture-

To embrace color & texture to your wedding, start thinking what colors would go best with your theme. For instance, if you are wanting a Wistful Woodsy Romance, then you are going to want to go with deep red hues and lush greenery and possibly even velvet.

3. Select Big Decor Elements-

Selecting a big element in your wedding that you want to be the main focus is important. Big Decor Elements can be anything from your wedding arch, your sweet heart table or event your flower decor. This is the time where you take your theme, colors and elements and create common details throughout your wedding decor.

4. Identify Small Details-

Small details is really where your personality can shine through in your wedding. For instance, when your theme is Wistful Woodsy Romance you are going to want to have wooden details and hang some lights in the trees, making all the big details and small details come together nicely.

5. Consider Cohesiveness-

At this point in creating your mood board you want to take a step back look at all the pictures and colors and see if it all goes well together and if it is the way you want your wedding to look and feel. Then continue with the planning process and make your dream wedding come to life.
