How to Create a Vision Board to Bring Your Dream Wedding to Life

Bringing your wedding vision to life is easier said than done. In the excitement of gathering all the different details, ideas, and inspiration for your dream wedding, you might find yourself with a slew of different ideas—but how do you conceptualize them into one cohesive vision? 

An excellent way to do this is by creating a vision board. A vision board serves as a creative visualization tool that can help you nail down the desired direction of your wedding day, and is perfect for identifying a specific theme for your wedding. 

For help getting started with your own vision board, follow the helpful tips below!

Set Specific Goals

Before you start creating your vision board, some preliminary planning is required to ensure the process is fruitful and cohesive. Start by setting some concrete goals you’d like to achieve through your vision board—maybe it’s deciding on a color palette, finding the overall theme of your wedding, or figuring out your tablescapes and floral designs.

Gather Inspiration

Now comes the fun part—gathering inspiration! For this step, spend time searching for anything that represents your vision and save them for later. This can be done via Pinterest, google images, or even magazine clippings. If you’re going the Pinterest route, take advantage of this helpful Pinterest Vision Board Goal List to keep everything organized. Download the Pinterest Vision Board printable HERE.

Here are some additional ideas for where to pull inspiration: 

• Magazines, newspapers, catalogs

• Pinterest

• Postcards

• Stickers

• Fabric

• Flowers and nature

• Clothing

Decide Your Vision Board Format

Now that you’ve gathered all your inspiration, you’ll want to decide what format your vision board will take. Use the types of inspiration you pulled to inform what format works best—if most of your ideas are magazine cut-outs, for example, you might want to go with a physical vision board.

Start Creating

With your ideas in place and a chosen format, it’s time to get to work! Spend as much time as you need crafting all your inspiration elements into your vision board. The end result should help you narrow down your overall vision for your wedding day, as well as help you decide what elements you don’t want. 

Figuring out your wedding day vision is definitely a fun process, but it can get overwhelming without a structured plan in place.
