How I used Pinterest to plan my wedding

Planning a wedding can be a dream come true. I was lucky enough to find the right person and was super excited to get engaged last July and begin planning our destination wedding. Being a busy real estate agent in Seattle and knowing no one in Maui, I was quickly overwhelmed by the process and realized that without a way to be organized about it, it was going to be a nightmare.

I started by purchasing a wedding planning book. (Yes, one of those 10 lb paper things) I didn’t have the time to read it, nor the desire to lug it around, so I hired a wedding planner. With so much distance between us, I needed a way to organize my ideas so that I could easily send to our planner for review. That’s when a friend turned me on toPinterest, which turned out to be a life saver.

Pinterest could quite possibly be one of the greatest idea organization tools out there, and with skyrocketing traffic numbers, the11M+ users that they recently recordedseem to agree.

With automatic information at our fingertips, I think everyone has a shorter attention span. Who wants to spend their time going back to a bunch of websites trying desperately to find that perfect idea you saw, but now can’t seem to find again? Instead, Pinterest allows you to “pin” any photo you see on the web to your own visual story board. Visiting your board and clicking the photo will return you to the website where you saw the idea initially. All of your ideas and websites are stored in one convenient place for quick reference.
