How to make the Most of Pinterest for Your Wedding Planning
Pinterest, a platform meticulously crafted by talented developers, offers an endless cascade of wedding-related infographics. It presents a captivating assortment of delightful images, purposefully curated to ignite your imagination and provide invaluable guidance for your special day. As you delve deeper into this virtual oasis of wedding inspiration, more and more captivating visuals are seamlessly integrated by the diligent efforts of the development team. However, when you eagerly present your meticulously curated wedding Pinterest board to your trusted florist or wedding planner, they unmask the daunting reality: transforming that ethereal vision into a tangible reality would incur an exorbitant cost of one million dollars per table.
Prepare Yourself to Use Pinterest
Pinterest is not simply a collection of pretty pictures, despite the fact that there are many, many pretty pictures on the platform. It is actually a really helpful and straightforward method for compiling wedding ideas and inspiration, communicating with your vendors, learning how to make your own wedding decorations, and assisting you in defining your wedding vision. Imagine it as an interactive vision board with no boundaries to restrict your creativity.
Appropriate and Inappropriate ways to use Pinterest
If you use it as a resource to gather ideas and streamline your vision for the wedding, Pinterest can be your best friend in the planning process. It is possible to remove all of the fun from the process if it is used in a way that causes you to compare your wedding to others, put off planning it, or second-guess your decisions. However, being aware of this prior to beginning your endeavor is crucial.
Create an Account with Pinterest
Create an account on Pinterest as your first step. Pinterest, much like other social networking sites, will encourage you to look up friends of yours who are also using Pinterest. Your Pinterest boards are usually viewable by the public, but you also have the option of creating private boards—something we highly recommend doing if you want to keep your wedding plans a secret. You can also set up shared boards and share them with your significant other, your wedding party, or even wedding vendors in the future.
Follow with Descriptions on Pinterest
When you pin something to a board, jot down a few notes about what you liked about that particular pin and keep those notes with the pins. It will be helpful to remember what initially drew your attention to your boards as the complexity of those boards increases.
Make Sure to Look Below by Scrolling Down
When you pin something, Pinterest will automatically suggest other items to pin that are similar. Before initiating a new keyword search, make sure to scroll down and have a look at the suggestions that have been provided. Let us follow the guidance of the Pinterest gods!
Maximizing Collaboration with a Master Board
You should feel free to discuss your master board with vendors such as your wedding planner, wedding stylist, or floral designer so that they can get a better idea of the vision you have for your big day. Attempting to describe your ideal wedding to others without providing a visual aid can be challenging at times; however, with the help of your master board, you can make sure that everyone is on the same page.
Set Realistic Expectations
It is essential to manage your expectations when using Pinterest because, as much as we enjoy getting ideas from the site, it is also important to make sure they are realistic. Keep in mind that many of the images you see on Pinterest are the result of carefully styled shoots or lavish weddings with enormous budgets. It's entirely possible that you won't be able to recreate them in their exact form for your big day.
