The first part of your floral journey is to develop your vision. Knowing what your wedding should look and feel like is only something that YOU can answer! So in order to develop your vision, you need to get inspired for wedding flowers! This is the fun part. There are lots of tools for finding inspiration out there, so I'm going to share my favorites with you here.
- Pinterest: Of course, you knew this already, but Pinterest is awesome for finding, viewing, saving, and sharing inspiration images.
- Wedding Blogs: There are too many to list here, but I'll give you one of my favorites: Rock n Roll Bride is where you'll find brides in leather jackets. (The full list of my favorites blogs--including links--is in this week's PDF.)
- Hobbies & Interests: You and your partner have common interests, so use what you enjoy together as a source of inspiration!
- Your Location: Naturally, you can think about the venue, city, and setting to find local sources of inspiration in nature, landmarks, or neighborhoods. Local flowers also count as sources of inspiration!
- Fashion and Design: Wedding trends mirror fashion trends, but on a time delay. What is hot now in fashion will be all the rage next wedding season!
- Take the Quiz: Most fun of all, I developed a quiz to help you find your ideal wedding style! You can find the quiz right here:
