Make sure to be thoughtful in your decisions. Remember, elements don’t need to be exact, but need to help communicate your vision…things you like / don’t like, etc. Words can be misinterpreted easier than pictures. It also helps focus in on what’s really important to the two of you for your big day, and makes communicating your vision to vendors way, way easier.
You can always update it, but it gives you a great jumping off point-helping to make decisions about the look of your day and define the overall vibe of the wedding. Making a wedding mood board is one of the most helpful activities you and your fiancé can do in the wedding planning process, and one I would recommend doing sooner than later. Thankfully we were blessed to have the fabulous team at Belle Destination Weddings & Events in Maui handling our event. However with any destination wedding, especially one where you don't have family or friends already “on-the-ground” at the location, you have to put your trust completely in your wedding planner and their team-a things that sounds simple, but for a hands-on person like myself can be challenging and a true test in trust. Luckily we’d discussed and always had our heart set on a small destination wedding. So when our families gave us a date range of end of July through mid-August we were thrown for a loop.
LeBraun and I had always pictured a late autumn / early winter wedding featuring deep burgundy and navy with copper accents. However once we choose our venue + with the date range we were given by our families, (almost) all of it went out the window.
Just like every other girl on Pinterest I had a board dedicated to my future wedding, continuously pinning unique placecards, bouquets I liked, elements to add personality…etc.
