I love, love, love inspiration boards. I don’t know how people plan weddings without one. For me, it was indispensable. I’m pretty sure that without having a clear cut, readily accessible place to keep all my ideas, our wedding would have been one hot-ass mess. I even printed my board out when I went to find ribbon, flowers, etc.!
That said, obviously I’m big on having an overall vision. I like cohesion. I like to know where everything is going, if you will. Judging by my past here on the ’bee, I always have been.
That said, one of my most favorite post-wedding series are the “inspiration vs. reality” posts. I absolutely love seeing how brides pulled everything together to create a wedding based on their inspiration. Mrs. Peep Toe’s wedding was bright and festive, Mrs. Sand Dollar had a rustic affair, Mrs. Cheeseburger’s was classy and elegant, and Mrs. Flamingo’s wedding was pure vintage glamour. Oddly enough, I’m at a loss for words to exactly describe our wedding, so I’ll just show you!

What do you think, hive? Is my reality close to my inspiration? Did/do you use inspiration boards to help with planning?
