Pinterest – a new way to plan your special day

I am new to Pinterest but and somewhat intrigued by its attributes. It is a great tool to use when planning a wedding, or any event for that matter. It is also great for checking out wedding suppliers, so you can see what’s out there and if it suits both you and your partner’s style. When it comes to suppliers Pinterest may not be helpful with your search for a DJ or Band, however it may be useful for hair and makeup and floristry.

I have a few friends that are planning a wedding and I can’t think of a better way for them to keep all their inspiration in check. Anyone could log into your Pinterest page and see what inspires you and what you may have in mind for the ceremony – a useful tool for any couple. You may decide to organise your pins into folders, like; dresses, bridesmaid’s dresses, flowers, invites and cake. Pinterest may even act as a template for what kind of photographs you want on your special day. Meeting with your photographer and presenting them with inspirational examples of previous wedding ceremony images, is a great way to ensure you’re on the same page before the big day. This also applies to your cake decorator, hair stylist, make-up artist and stationary designer. They themselves may have Pinterest boards and this will give you an insight into what they like and think is stylish.

However, be wary when you pin anyone can find you on Pinterest can see what you are pinning, so if there are some things that you would rather keep to yourself, think twice before you pin it.
