An inspiration board (also known as a "story board" or "mood board") is a collection of images, typically arranged in a block, that come together to show the look and feel of a future wedding. This may be put together by a bride or a wedding planner to help collect all ideas and thoughts into one place. Images are often clothing items, flowers, decorative pieces, centerpieces and color swatches, but can be anything that gives an idea of the look and feel of the wedding.
- Think outside of the box, and choose any images (wedding-related or not) that strike your fancy. Artwork, landscapes, travel photos, interior décor, and architecture are great examples.
- Remember where you collect your images from and reference them early on in your compilations! It will make it a lot easier later on when you want to find them again, or if you share your board with others.
- Don't stress about it not being perfect at first. Keep rearranging images until you find something you like.
