The last two weeks we’ve talked about choosing your wedding colors and your wedding style. In both of those posts I’ve talked about using Pinterest to plan Aaron and Summer’s wedding. Pinterest is a phenomenal tool for wedding planning and today I’m going to share with you why and how we are using it to plan the wedding. I use Pinterest a lot and I actually started a wedding board before Aaron and Summer were engaged. I knew it was coming within a year so I started a board and I had pinned a few things that happened to pop up in my stream. Once the engagement happened I renamed the board and went into full wedding planning mode. 
Why I use Pinterest to plan Aaron & Summer’s Wedding
- It is easy to store everything in one place. Anything I find online that I think might be useful for the wedding I can pin to the wedding board for later reference.
- Inspiration-Pinterest is the visual search engine. Just pop a term in the search box and scroll through everything tagged with that term.
- Summer-Summer isn’t your typical girl who has dreamed about her wedding for years. She’s never watched a wedding themed TV show or read a bridal magazine <gasp!>. She isn’t on Pinterest either. All of this has made planning her wedding different than any of the other weddings I’ve helped plan.
How I Use Pinterest to plan Aaron & Summer’s Wedding
- Each Tuesday evening when we meet to work on wedding planning I refer to items I have pinned so that Summer can make decisions.
- We sometimes search Pinterest together to create a pool of options to choose from. Summer is not a very decisive person and she does much better choosing from 3-4 things than a whole lot more.
- I have searched by color “turquoise wedding”.
- I have search by theme “rustic chic wedding”.
- I have searched by type “DIY wedding”, “frugal wedding”.
- As we go through our wedding binder in our planning sessions, I make note of what the next topic is ie. wedding vows, attire, seating arrangements etc and during the next week I search out things to present to them in our next meeting.
- I’m not afraid to un-pin. Some people will tell you that you should never un-pin, I disagree. If on your wedding board you have something pinned that you have since ruled out, go ahead and un-pin it. You don’t want your board cluttered with things you don’t want or need.
