Creating the Perfect Wedding Mood Board
Designing your wedding vision is exciting but it can also feel overwhelming. With endless inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram, narrowing down your aesthetic is where the magic (and clarity) really happens.
A wedding mood board is your north star it helps you visualize the tone, colour palette, and overall feel of your day. Here’s how to create one that’s cohesive, elevated, and uniquely you.
1. Start with Emotion, Not Color
Before you even start pinning, ask yourself how you want your wedding to feel. Romantic? Modern? Dreamy? Moody?
When you identify the feeling first, every design choice, from florals to lighting — becomes more intentional.
2. Choose a Core Color Palette
Once you’ve pinned your favorites, you’ll start noticing a pattern in tones and textures. Select 3–5 core colors (plus a few neutrals) that capture your vision.
Example:
Modern Neutral: White, beige, taupe, soft blush
Bold Romance: Burgundy, mauve, toffee, champagne
Timeless Luxe: Ivory, gold, dusty blue, sage
This will guide your florist, planner, and stylist when designing your event.
3. Focus on Florals + Textures
Your floral choices can instantly define your style. Garden roses for romance, orchids for modern luxury, or airy meadow-style blooms for organic elegance.
Add textures; like linen, velvet, or metallic to complete the sensory mood of your board.
4. Edit Ruthlessly
Pinterest boards can get overwhelming fast. Keep only what truly aligns with your theme. Aim for about 20–30 strong, cohesive images that capture the vibe.
Ask yourself: “Would this image belong at the same wedding as the others?” If not, delete it.
5. Collaborate with Your Florist
Once your board feels complete, share it with your florist (hi 👋). I use mood boards as a jumping-off point to design something custom inspired by your vision but tailored to your venue, season, and personality.
The best designs aren’t copy-pasted they’re curated interpretations.
Bonus: Use Pinterest Strategically
When building your board, pin images that inspire you for a reason. Don’t just save what’s pretty — focus on what feels aligned.
If you love the color, note it.
If you love the shape of an arrangement, note that too.
This makes collaboration with your creative team seamless.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
Your wedding mood board is more than a collage — it’s the visual story of your celebration. It helps every vendor work toward the same goal: creating a day that feels intentional, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
