Mrs. Pin Cushion's Picture
Mrs. Pin Cushion, Oakland, CA Age and Occupation: 25, Nurse Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, PhD Student Engagement Date: November 23, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Radonich Ranch, Los Gatos About Me: I'm the 3 Cs: crafty, creative and quirky (oh, that's not a C? Close enough!). I'm also a recycling fanatic, fluent in bad accents and I have the loudest laughter this side of the Mississippi. I have not just one sweet tooth, but a whole mouth full of sweet teeth. I cry at 97.4% of all movies I see, but my fiance's always there to hand me a tissue. My geek-chic fiance and I are planning a wedding full of color, cookies and handmade goodness and I can't wait to spill the beans on all of our crazy ideas!
About Mrs. Pin Cushion

It’s showdown time!

In one corner, it’s “The OG:” Original Pin Cushion Inspiration Board!

And battling it out in the other corner is “Reality Bites:” Real Pin Cushion Wedding Board!

First up, OG (created three years ago, in the Mesolithic era, via Style Me Pretty):

Next up, to woo you is Reality Bites (created via Project Wedding with our very own wedding photos):

{All shots from Steep Street Photography}

Now, as a totally partial judge (nobody could get more partial than me, the bride), I would say it’s a WIN. As in, our wedding photos pretty much hit the colors and vibe of our OG inspiration board.

What do you think hive, did the Pin Cushion wedding board live up to the inspiration board? Are you using an inspiration board to guide your wedding decisions?

I love seeing the before and after posts! :D I agree with Pony. I like the Pin Cushion edition better than the OG!

@Miss Archer: You totally should! It’s so fun, plus, for me, it definitely gave me direction when I was making decisions.

@lisaelanna: @Mrs. Pony: @Miss Coyote: Thanks guys! You’re so sweet! I actually was surprised how close the photos looked too!
