PINTEREST TIPS:
If you've already been pinning like crazy, filter out any pins that don't fit your chosen words.
(Doing this will help you curate a focused collection of images.)
Don't limit yourself to pinning strictly wedding photos! Pin ALL kinds of images. (Include patterns,
textures, typography, interior design, flora + fauna, or imagery that makes you feel a certain way...it’s all fair game!)
Do you already have a color palette you really love? Make sure to pin things with those colors
so they get incorporated into your mood board.
A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELVES AS YOU COLLECT IMAGES:
SIT BACK AND REALLY THINK ABOUT YOUR WEDDING KEYWORDS. WHAT IMAGES OR
FEELINGS DO YOU GET FROM THINKING ABOUT THEM? WHAT COMES TO MIND?
JOT DOWN A FEW IDEAS HERE:
Now that you've gained some clarity by identifying your wedding keywords, head on over
to Pinterest and save the images that align with your list.
What images showcase the FEELING we want
our wedding guests to experience?
What are some design styles or elements that
we gravitate toward?
What colors do we vibe with?
What are some fonts that feel like our wedding
style?
mood board
TO DO FOR YOU:
Head over to Canva and choose from one
of their free mood board templates! (You
can also use design software like Adobe, of course.)
Drag and drop around 10 photos to add to
your wedding mood board. (Choose images
that not only coordinate with each other, but that you
also love and feel represent your ideal wedding.)
Remember that your mood board does
NOT have to be perfectly matchy-matchy.
(Though you do want the overall look to be cohesive.)
Once you've curated your initial wedding
mood board, take a step back and look at
the full picture. Ask yourselves...
Do the images in the mood board jibe with each other? Are the colors pretty consistent?
Does it evoke the overall feeling we're going for? Do we love it?! Then you're good to go!
A mood board is a collection of images, typography, patterns, etc. pieced together in a cohesive collage.
Making one for your wedding will be a huge help—not only for you, but for your vendors as well.
Pick the colors in your mood board that resonate with you most, and that coordinate well with each
other. Use a “color picker” to find the HEX codes or CMYK codes for consistency across digital and print.

Decide upon 2–3 fonts that you really love. We recommend a strong heading font, an easy-to-read
body font, and a fun or fancy accent font. List your choices here:
With your color palette, inspiration board, fonts, and keywords to guide you, you can bring your wedding
"brand" to life. The opportunities to customize your event are endless, but here are a few places to start:
BRING YOUR WEDDING STYLE TO LIFE BY “BRANDING” YOUR WEDDING:
Wedding Website
Save The Dates + Invitations
Other Paper Goods including Ceremony
Programs or Menu Cards
Signage
Table Numbers
Table Linens
Place Settings / Place Cards / Escort Cards
Photo Booth Printouts
Favor Bags / Stickers / Tags
Wedding Cake / Desserts
Even the color or name of your
Signature Cocktail!
Pro Tip: A wedding planner can absolutely help bring
your wedding mood board to life. If you really want a
certain aesthetic for your event but don't feel you have
the design chops, seek out a planner or event designer
with swoon-worthy style.
