Can you imagine what planning a wedding was like 10 years ago? No mobile apps, no wedding planner websites and no Pinterest. When Pinterest debuted in 2010, it took off like a rocket for weddings. So what is Pinterest and why do couples love it so much? Pinterest is an online pinboard. You pin visual pictures of things you like. So for couples, they pin their different ideas for their dream wedding. You can create as many boards as you would like and keep things organized.

Pinterest opened up a new world for couples trying to piece together their dream wedding. It gives them an opportunity to come up with ideas and put them together all in one place. All they have to do is type in what they are looking for, so for example. “Wedding Cakes.” They beginning pinning to their “Wedding Cake” board all the cakes they visually like. They do this for each category, so wedding dresses, venues, ceremony spaces, flowers, etc. Eventually, they will notice a theme.

Once couples notice a theme, they begin to piece together their wedding. They take these ideas to their vendors, or search for vendors that follow this specific theme. Vendors love looking at vision boards. It helps vendors get a sense of what the couple likes and also allows room for customization. Bakers and Florist love looking a pictures specifically because it helps them create the ideal masterpiece for their client. Here at Penn Oaks, we see a lot of couple’s vision board have an outside feel for their reception, but also do not want to worry about the weather. Our year round tent attached to our indoor ballroom is perfect if you’re looking to have an outside space available for your guests without the worry of Mother Nature.

Couples love Pinterest because in the craziness of wedding planning, it helps them stay organized with ideas, especially couples who are not visual people.
