I took today off to run errands and we got a lot accomplished. Our menu is chosen, and we met our florist and pretty much decided on all of the flowers! I don’t necessarily think I need an inspiration board now, my vision for our wedding is getting pretty clear as NEPA Groom and I visit a lot of vendors, but I was cleaning out my wedding folder today and found some old copies of my inspiration photos. What’s nice is that now we have a bridesmiad dress, and a wedding dress, so I tweaked my board over at Polyvore with these updates. Check it out:

Oh. My. God. I love Polyvore.

Everyone seems to rely on their inspiration boards when conveying the style and feel of their wedding. They make them in photoshop or some other nonsensical program that I can’t use. I tried making one using another site, but after an hour of finding pictures and putting them into it’s uploader thinger, one slip of the mouse on the back button and all my hard work was gone.

I had seen Polyvore before but forgot to bookmark it. Finally, after some searching I opened an account this week and started throwing all my pictures and ideas into a board. The nice thing about Polyvore is that it’s free and very simple to use. The system will try to crop around the item in your picture so that you can overlay them in more interesting ways. It doesn’t always work (take the wedding dress in my board, for example) but you can turn it off if it mucks up the picture.

So without further ado, here’s my first stab at an inspiration board (click on it for an enlarged version):
