Need Inspiration? Check Out Pinterest

Weddings today are becoming more and more intimate and personal. Gone are the days when they were used as a social climber’s tool to showcase wealth and status. We’ve divorced ourselves from the stiffness of uber traditional weddings and infused a little more creativity in them.
So far, since brides are becoming more interested and involved in the planning process, it is especially true that they will be influencing the wedding by a great deal. And why shouldn’t they? It is, after all, their celebration. But there are certain times wherein the bride loses sight of what she wants in a wedding. This is where inspiration comes in handy.

There are many websites that the bride can use to pick up a little idea. In fact, these websites even have tools to keep track of the planning process and keep the person in charge leverage in management. However, if simple visual inspiration is what you’re after, you might want to check out Pinterest.com In fact, we love it so much that we’re always browsing through it!

Type in keywords such as weddings, brides, and reception, and you will be taken into a portal or photographs which take inspiration from. Most of the pictures are professionally done, so they are absolutely a sight to see. Here are some pictures that you might encounter.

I Do on Valentine's Day!

Sure, nothing is more cliche than tying the knot on Valentine’s Day; but if you think about it, there is no other perfect date to get hitched. If you’re thinking about granting yourselves the title of Mr. and Mrs. on this day, then read on. Here are a couple of Valentine’s Day wedding ideas for you. One thing to consider is the color scheme. Red and white (or pearl) is a traditional choice. Of course, a formal setting is best for this ultra romantic scheme. One thing you have to remember, though, is that when choosing a venue, you have to make reservations very early. The same thing applies when booking a florist and a caterer since plenty of people really do like the idea of getting married on the day of hearts.

Red flowers work best with the theme of love. Red roses will do, but there are other alternatives that would work better. Red tulips are classic, and they look really nice as centerpieces. One trick you could pull is to tie a couple of tulips to a stone and submerge them in a vase full of water. This magnifies their beauty and creates a pretty little centerpiece. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspect of planning a wedding is choosing the menu. For a Valentine’s Day wedding, why don’t you try indulging your guests in aphrodisiacs such as oysters and some sweet treats. Make sure their tummies and taste buds feel the love.

One way of showing your guests your appreciation is by telling them how much it means to you that they went out of their way to be your Valentine’s dates. Wedding favors can be in the form of handwritten love letters (if you do have the time to write them). In keeping with the occasion, you can also give them little cupcakes and cookies with icing that spells out "Thank you for being our dates this Valentines."
