Finding your Wedding Inspiration-Dunhill Tuxedos Bridal Blog

You’re at the beginning of planning your wedding.  Gather your thoughts, begin to focus, and start by creating an inspiration board.  This board can follow you everywhere you go…reception hall hunting….flower and centerpiece selecting….save the date ordering….dress shopping…cake choosing and those other 10,000 tasks you have to complete in the wedding process.  Here’s our advice to you to find the perfect inspiration and make for a clean, polished, exactly-what-you-wanted wedding atmosphere.

Your wedding is centered to celebrate you, so look for inspiration in every day things that represent you. Think outside of the box and find something funky.  Find inspiration in an album cover, piece of art, peacock feather, book cover, landscape, butterfly, photograph or clothing line.  Extract textures, colors and meanings from your item of inspiration and center that around your wedding. Use that as a starting base and go from there.

Dream up a color palette.  Use the color scheme from the inspiration element from above, or consult the wedding mags for the hottest color palettes and pick your fav. Take it to the next level and incorporate some fabrics, patterns or gems.  Take tour of your local craft store’s fabric section and buy some remnants of fabric in your color palette that just scream “you”.

Make a wedding inspiration board.  Cut out a piece of card stock that is 6 x 6  and place the different elements on your wedding on it–dream dresses, inspirational fabrics, magazine clippings, ideal bridesmaid swatches.  This process will help you find your inspiration, it’s okay if some of the elements begin to change on it.  This is a big help when it comes finding a start.  As you plan your wedding, you do not have to find exactly the pieces on this inspiration board, but it can help inspire the choices you make.

As actual choices are made for ribbons, flowers, fabrics, table overlays…keep track of those swatches and you will now have a wedding board, complete for all wedding vendors to use as a key that come later in wedding planning.

Until Next Time…Happy Wedding Planning!
