Best Wedding Planning Web Tool | Pinterest

I didn’t think I would blog today, but I just discovered one of the best tools for wedding planning (and anything planning) on the web. Whether you’re a bride planning her wedding or a couple envisioning a kitchen redo (me!), you’re likely going to spend hours scouring the internet for photos of ideas and inspiration. The problem comes with keeping track of those photos. Who wants to bookmark a bazillion webpages for just one photo per page?

Enter the solution: Pinterest. Maybe you’ve already discovered this site and are laughing at my ignorance and awe, but for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, you must check it out! Basically, Pinterest is a virtual pin board that lets you “pin” individual photos you find on websites to categorized inspiration boards. It keeps track of where you found that photo, so you can always return to the original website if you need to. The possibilities of boards are endless.

If I were planning my wedding again, I’d have an “overall theme” board and many smaller supporting boards for individual items–wedding dress photos, shoe inspiration, hair pieces, flowers, decor, and so on.

Another nice feature of the site is the ability to follow your friend’s boards and see what they’re finding. You can also search the public boards for ideas and pictures. It’s likely you’re not the only one searching for something! I’ve already found a couple of inspiration photos from other boards.

There is one small downside to the site at the moment–the Pinterest is currently member only by invitation. However, I don’t think it’s too hard to get invited, and I can actually invite 6 people myself. So if this sounds like something you’d like to try, leave a comment with your name and email below, and I’ll send you an invite! Many thanks to Melissa for sharing this on her blog and inviting me.

Ramma Barakat - Hi Mary!

I was checking out your website – recommended by my fiance – Rob Mineo! Your pictures look great. I started reading some of your blog and came across this one about Pinterest. Did you already invite 6 people to join? If not, can you invite me?

Thanks and hopefully we will get to work with eachother soon!
