Looking to create a Mood Board? It isn't as hard as you think. I first learned about making mood boards when I was working on rebuilding my catering and event website. I took a course called the Girl's Guide to Web Design and it was given by a friend of a friend, self-paced, and a really good introduction to coding and building a site from concept to launch. {Yes, I recommend it.} One of my favorite take aways from the class was the Mood Board, which is a collage of images and text that give a way to define and refine your vision. When I say that it is one of my favorite takeaways, I really mean FAVORITE! I started using them as discussion points for clients, for event guidelines, and for pure graphic delight, whenever the mood hit me. How to Find Images
How to Make a Mood Board There are only three steps to making a mood board.
When I am working on creating a board, I do not just go in search of decorations or photos of other people's events. I try and think about how I want to feel at the event and then I start pinning whatever makes me feel that way. After I have all those photos on one board, I add in some specific decoration, food and drink ideas. At this point there is no judgement, I'm not trying to create a theme in pictures. I am just gathering. Here is what my Pinterest Board looks like. Things to Remember
It is important to mention that I use these boards only for inspiration. By this time we have all seen and or experienced the Pinterest fails and that is definitely not my intention. I want to be inspired when I start to shop, when I plan the menu, when I design the invitations, and when I talk to my guests about the party. The board above is just my starting point. As the event creeps closer, I will add more pieces. I hope you have fun playing with the mood boards!
