\"\"<\/a>Pinterest is so much more than a collection of pretty pictures; for brides, Pinterest provides a look at the top wedding trends<\/a><\/strong> (so that they can decide if they\u2019d like to follow the trends or avoid them!) in every wedding planning category from wedding gowns to wedding flowers, d\u00e9cor, photography, rings, and especially wedding locations<\/strong> and wedding food and drinks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re researching and booking wedding vendors <\/strong>and sites, it\u2019s important for your wedding experts<\/strong> and wedding site managers<\/strong> to get a crystal-clear understanding of what you want for your wedding day. And as they say, \u201ca picture is worth a thousand words.\u201d When you can present to your wedding experts<\/strong> and wedding site team<\/strong> a collection of images of what you want, and what you don\u2019t want, the experts to whom you entrust your wedding vision get that clear picture of what you both would like, and they can then start creating it for you, right down to the garnish on the appetizers you call a Must.<\/p>\n

But before you present images to your wedding professionals<\/strong> and wedding venue<\/strong> experts, Pinterest can be a wonderful tool for you both to communicate to each other what you\u2019d like for your wedding day, and you both also enjoy the ease of pointing to a photo and saying, \u201cI definitely don\u2019t<\/em> want that.\u201d You\u2019ll partner on every wedding detail, and grooms say they don\u2019t mind sitting in front of Pinterest to add a level of fun to the wedding planning process. Some grooms say they found the perfect wedding element that eluded their brides for weeks, saving the day, and making a dream wedding element possible.<\/p>\n

Pinterest allows wedding couples to share their wedding venue photos<\/strong> and other wedding design elements with their bridal parties, friends and family members near and far, through their public Pinterest boards, and Pinterest now allows users to create private boards where they can pin their wedding inspirations<\/strong> without giving away all of their Wow Factor ideas to wedding guests before the big day. They get to organize their wedding d\u00e9cor, food, fashion and beauty details, and still get the excitement of \u2018the big reveal\u2019 on the wedding day.<\/p>\n

Private Pinterest boards<\/strong> can also be a place where bridesmaids can pin their ideas for bridesmaid dresses, <\/strong>\u00a0for your consideration, providing an easy-use, easy-share method for making that all-important decision about the dress. You won\u2019t get large-file emails from a bridesmaid and then have to email it to every other bridesmaid. Pinterest bridesmaid inspiration boards<\/strong> save you time and aggravation, and you\u2019ll reach a decision on your bridesmaids\u2019 dresses<\/strong> in less time.<\/p>\n

The same goes for private Pinterest boards<\/strong> where the parents can post their suggestions for your consideration, and bridesmaids use private Pinterest boards<\/strong> to share images for your bridal shower\u2026keeping those pictures from you!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that Pinterest is also a great location to find images and video of the honeymoon spots you\u2019re considering. The images, comments and videos posted here go beyond what you\u2019ll see on the honeymoon resort\u2019s website, giving you terrific insight into what it might really be like to go there. So Pinterest might help you find your dream honeymoon spot.<\/p>\n

And Pinterest images can also help make your wedding registry even better, with terrific housewares and linens pinned by strangers, only to wind up as additions to your gift registry.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the wedding food,<\/a> wedding cake<\/strong> and signature wedding drinks,<\/strong> all plentiful on Pinterest and of great use when you\u2019re talking with your wedding reception venue\u2019s <\/strong>catering manager, pastry chef and bar manager. A mouthwatering Reception Pinterest board can be easily called up on your smartphone or tablet while you\u2019re meeting with your wedding menu experts<\/strong>, and your dream wedding menu<\/strong> comes to life on your big day, matching and often exceeding that initial image you found on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

And brides also say that Pinterest was a great de-stressor. When wedding stress<\/strong> built up too high, they turned to Pinterest to find cheerful and calming quotes, images of relaxing scenery, meditation mantras, and fun images related to their hobbies, a total distraction and a nice escape from the demands of planning a wedding.<\/p>\n
