If you haven’t heard of the site Pinterest.com I am so sorry that I didn’t write this post sooner for you. I truly feel you have been missing out on a quite addictive experience (as if wedding planning wasn’t addictive enough.) To sum up the site Pinterest allows you to very easily create style boards from images found on the web (or found through searching the site). I have found amazing recipes (including the best mac n cheese recipe ever!), cool home projects, and some amazing style/fashion options..Ok I admit it, I also have a board for “cute and fluffy things” (baby bunnies etc).
If you are a visual person, like myself, creating a ‘style board’ is super helpful. It lets you see all your ideas in one spot, see if they work well together and piece together outfits. I think this is super helpful for not only wedding decor/style but also engagement sessions. So many of our brides don’t know exxxactly how they would like to ‘style’ their session so it is not only cute/fun/cool but screams ‘them’. I am not talking what poses and images they want taken I am talking what boots go cute with that rose colored summer dress, how to coordinate his/hers outfits, or just what items that you love (his guitar, her painting easel etc) work for a photoshoot. This is where I love pinterest and think it is genius. You can create styles based on a specific color pallets, themes, or a common love (photography perhaps?) and then work around that to create a look that is totally you! I often play around with different boards to come up with ideas that I think would transfer well into shoots. Here are some examples:
