Inspiration Boards | A Great Way to Help Plan Your Look

Lately, when meeting with our brides, we've listened to what they have had to say about what is they want for their weddings.  Colours, themes, accents - these all come into play when we start to come up with ideas in our studio.  And for ideas, what better resource than the internet.

We look on great sites like Pinterest and Google to find Inspiration for creating our own ideas and suggestions for our brides.  From the images found on associated sites through search queries, we create an inspiration board, or several, to show our brides and see if what we are thinking of is in alignment with what they have told us they want.

Here is a sample Inspiration Board we created for a "Secret Garden/Enchanted Garden" themed wedding.  Such an exciting concept!

Although these creations are not ours, in several cases we use pictures from our inventory of previously made bouquets.  In this case, we had the idea to use antique keys as accents to the wedding florals.  A key as the base of a boutonniere over which the flowers have 'overgrown', a key as an accent to the bouquet handles, etc.  The best part...we found an image online of a key based boutonniere.  What a coincidence!!!

When planning your wedding, why not find inspiration on the internet, magazines and feature stories in local papers.  If you don't have or know how to use photoshop - then cut and paste onto a larger board.  Inspiration is everywhere around you.
