How Pinterest can make wedding planning easier
Years ago planning a wedding meant filling your house with wedding magazines and cutting out your favorite styles for dresses, venues, hair and even invitations to send to family and friends. With Pinterest you are able to bookmark ideas that you have seen rather than cutting them from magazines and even share them online to get the opinions of others.
You can even let others pin their ideas so that they are all on the same page rather than going from one to another to get an idea of what everyone wants as a whole. Pinterest is great for people that are travelling over for your wedding but can’t be there for the actual planning as they can still get involved and even be added to contributors to boards you’ve made.
The whole idea is to get rid of the need to have a bulletin board or scrap books and keep all of the ideas instead on your computer, much to the relief of your husband-to-be who can’t find his way around the house though wedding books. If you are looking to plan your wedding on a budget you can use the DIY tips for crafting your own invites, bouquets and so much more.
The interactive process makes it easier to reach out to others near and far which will make you feel less alone and help calm those planning nerves as to whether you are making the right decisions on your dress, or other parts of the wedding.
If you are unsure of the latest styles you can check out what other people are wearing and how they have emulated the look of stars from hairstyles to dresses and even venues! To make things even easier when you find the styles you like you can find links on the majority of pages that will take you a site that sells exactly what you are looking for, even online stores that are happy to ship overseas.
As well as showing you the things you want and helping you to narrow down your favorites you will also be able to avoid faux pas by using the feedback others have given. You can literally learn from their mistakes and avoid vendors and certain styles that could cause problems on your big day.
If you already have a lot of followers on Pinterest then you can create a secret wedding board especially for your big day instead of using your usual pages. This will mean that you can invite only those that you want to be actively involved in your wedding planning rather than making it public to everyone. You can also keep the dress you are going to wear a secret from those that are not involved including your tech savvy groom.
Using different boards for your beauty, dress, invitations and bouquets can make it easier for those dealing with each part to get an idea of what you want without having to go through pins that are not relevant. Of course they can visit the other boards but it definitely saves time to do it this way. Even if you have bridesmaids out of town who cannot attend a dress shopping day, you can make a board to show her the style and colors you are wanting for the big day!!
