If you’re
like us and spent many teenage afternoons sitting cross-legged in your bedroom,
cutting outfits and espadrilles from magazines, you will undoubtedly adore
Pinterest. But chances are, you already do! Whether new to Pinterest or you’ve
been Pinning for months, let us share some Wedding-themed advice on making the
most out of your precious Pinning time.
1.
Create Multiple Boards. Having only one Board, titled “Wedding”, is too broad. You may
have Boards for hairstyles and makeup, invitations, floral inspirations and
definitely a board full of gowns. We
personally like the idea of making a Board for Photography and Pinning
different poses that you might want to strike. Get creative!
2.
Mind For Your Money. When you’re mind’s already in
Wedding-mode it’s even easier to “fall in love” with your amazing finds on
Pinterest. Just remember: some of them you may not be able to afford. Use this
to your advantage by searching keywords or having replicates created.
3.
Follow The Experts. Keep an eye on the Pinterest wedding experts to
see what is trending. The Knot and Style Me Pretty have a dedicated
team of connoisseurs that Pin for them. They know what works and better yet,
have a great deal of “Pinventory”!
4. Take Feedback. It’s your day; in the end, you will choose what you want. But as always, feedback can be your best friend. You can even allow others (Mom, sisters, bridesmaids, etc.) to Pin to your boards. If you have ideas for Bridesmaids Dresses for example, and you’d like to share them with the ladies, this is a convenient, non-intrusive way to do so.

5. Share Your Boards.
Make sure you are sharing your Boards with your planner, vendors, florist,
etc.! With that being said, also jot down why
you like a certain Pin. Descriptions can be helpful—especially if you may
have Pinned specifically for a piece of décor, rather than the overall vibe.
For example: “Candleholder, NOT tablecloth.”
