Pinterest Is not a wedding Planner!

But here is how you can use it to your advantage

Like any other woman out there that has access to the internet, I too love Pinterest.  It has EVERYTHING! Recipes, clothing inpso, hair & make up, and everything else you didn't know you needed.  It is also notorious for having the most gorgeous wedding inspiration on the market.  But don't let Pinterest fool you.  It may be crawling with wedding ideas that you fall in love with but be careful because Pinterest is not a wedding planner. It doesn't allow for all the organizational tips and tools that you will need through your wedding planning journey.  Check out the best ways that we believe you can use Pinterest to your advantage this wedding season.

Finding Inspiration & Staying organized

Click & Pin. Click & Pin. Click & Pin. It's almost fun how easy it is to get lost in a black hole of Pinterest by just pinning anything that slightly catches your eye. When it comes to finding inspiration for your wedding you have to be a little more picky. Here's our tips to staying organized.
1. Create different boards for different parts of your wedding. For example, one for flowers, for desserts, for dresses, for place settings, etc.
2. Every time you pin something make a note on that pin of WHY you pinned it. Make sure it is a little more detailed than "I like it because it is pretty." Comment on the colors, the shapes, the wow factor it could add. That way you can look back and actually remember why you pinned it in the first place.
3. Don't pin just to pin. Think about the color scheme of your wedding. Keep in mind the atmosphere you want your wedding to have. Pick three words to describe your wedding and if that pin doesn't fit in any of those categories, don't pin it.
4. Be mindful of what you pin/how much pin. Every time you get on Pinterest remind yourself that you and your special one set a budget for your big day.  If you pin another 100 ideas then it could be costing you another couple hundreds of dollars. 
5. Share your pin board with your REAL LIFE Wedding Planner. Having these boards ready to discuss with your wedding planner will help create an overall vision for the wedding and give them a good place to start to help you plan every last detail.
