One of the best things I found when planning my own wedding was creating an inspiration board.
I actually got the idea from one of my ultra organised brides, who came to me to plan her wedding flowers. She was a very visual person, much like myself and she had pages and pages of cut outs, quotes, fabrics and pictures of themes, styles and ideas that she loved. It gave me an absolutely clear cut idea of what she wanted, her style and expectations. I can’t stress how helpful this is for a vendor !
For my own inspiration board, I included fabric from my dress, my invitation stationary, pictures of dresses (mine, my bridesmaids and flower girls, sketches of how I wanted my marquee to look, cut outs from magazines, beads for my flowers, photos of my earrings..... you get the idea.
I can’t understate how effective they are in helping you polish your vision into one cohesive style.
I threw these together to show you just how simple they are, they all took around 20mins.

If you designed a gorgeous inspiration board, we’d love to share it!
