Wedding Mood Board
Creating a wedding mood board (also called a wedding vision board) is one of the most fun, inspiring, and helpful ways to plan your wedding!
How you use and create the mood board is totally up to you. Some brides-to-be take a highly organized approach and may even have multiple boards to track various to-do lists and wedding-related projects (hey, Virgo brides!). Others may just use the board for inspiration, collecting photos from the web of looks, possible must-haves, and random ideas and post-its.
Creating a visual wedding mood board to capture how you want your wedding to look and feel can help you to manifest the wedding of your dreams. grab color swatches from your local hardware store to get an idea of your color scheme. Take photos (or grab them from the web) of cake ideas…decor ideas.. flowers..you name it!

How to Create a Wedding Mood Board: Bringing Your Daydream Wedding to Life
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming with the endless inspiration available online. To stay focused and ensure your big day reflects your unique style, creating a wedding vision board is a must. This tool helps you organize ideas, define your aesthetic, and communicate your vision clearly to vendors and other people involved in planning. Here’s a simple guide to crafting a wedding mood board that will keep your planning on track (and keep you inspired 🙂
Step 1: Set Your Wedding Goals
Before gathering images, think about your overall vision. You and your partner should consider:
- What mood or vibe do we want? (e.g., romantic, boho, classic, modern, rustic, super simple)
- What are our must-have elements? (e.g., outdoor venue, specific flowers, cultural traditions)
- What colors do we love? What decor are we picturing?
- Are there any ideas- big or small- that have always been a part of our wedding vision?
Step 2: Gather Inspiration for Your Wedding Mood Board
Start collecting visuals that reflect your wedding goals. Use platforms like Pinterest and Instagram to find images of venues, color schemes, floral arrangements, decor, attire, and more. Save or pin anything that catches your eye—even if it’s not directly wedding-related. A photo of a sunset or a fabric swatch could spark ideas for your theme. You could also go to the hardware store to get your hands on those fun paint swatches, and go out and get some print wedding magazines (to me, there’s still nothing like flipping through the pages).
Step 3: Curate Your Favorites
Once you’ve gathered a variety of ideas, it’s time to narrow them down. Choose images that truly reflect your style and eliminate anything that feels out of place. Look for recurring themes in your selections—this will help identify your core aesthetic.
Step 4: Create Your Wedding Mood Board
You can create your vision board digitally or physically. You can also organize the board by sections (e.g., attire, decor, florals) to make it visually clear.
Step 5: Keep refining, finding inspiration, and use the board to share your vision with vendors.
Once your vision board is complete, share it with your wedding planner, florist, and other vendors. It will help them understand your style and execute your vision more accurately.
