If your a new bride then you know may feel like you are having trouble knowing where to start with your wedding. Well, I am here to tell you that you need a map and the best map is to visualize your wedding.
Some brides have dreamed about their wedding their whole entire lives. They dressed up and pretended when they were young and has a secret book filled with their dream wedding. Is that you? Great then you already have a map to use for your planning. If this is not you, don’t worry because I am going to help you fuel that wedding inspiration.
Past/Upcoming Weddings
Have you been to a wedding recently? Do you remember your best friends wedding or family members? What was that like? Do you remember the decor or the kind of cake they had? What stood out to you that you loved? Was their food able to make your mouth water? What stood out to you enough to make your mouth drop just a little?
Those are key questions you should ask yourself when thinking back. To freshen up your memory you can look back on photos or ask for some photos to get a rough idea. Most photos these days are sitting on Facebook or Instagram so they are only a click away. Photos are also the best way to give you snap discussions of if you like it or not.

What would we do without Pinterest? If you don’t already know Pinterest is the Google image of everything you can think of. It has everything! And I mean everything from DIY project, recipe and every dream outfit imaginable. Which is why they are one of the most popular sites to out there.
You can bet that there is a whole section of wedding ideas out there that you can pin right to your board. Create sections or pin everything you love all in one. You have so much to choose from. I like to think that Pinterest is a store of inspiration. You get a personal store helper who just gives you recipes or outfits with one click. It is a great wedding book too.
Magazines
Even though everything is on the web. They are still magazines you can purchase at your local grocery store. Don’t seem too surprised by that fact. Paper is not 100% gone in marketing so magazines are not gone until they are gone.
Many companies still have physical copies of magazines because there are brides who can’t help but dog tag the pages they love or cut out images for their vision board. Some love the feel of the magazine pages in their hands and you also can smell the fragrance samples too.
However, if this is so not you, then you can also use the magazine option but in a more digital way. Wedding companies know that not everyone likes to collect all these magazines in their homes so digital EPub is easier for their readers. With the added bonus of that, you don’t have to use paper anymore.
Websites
There are many wedding websites out there from a big name such as The Knot or Wedding Wire. I have to admit that they are one of my personal favourite sites to check out. You can search through articles and inspiration. Get fantastic tricks and tips that you can add to your own wedding. I love their ideas on bride trends out there.
Here are some wedding sites to considers:
- Brides
- Wedding Wire
- The Knot
- Wedding Bells
- Real Weddings
- Today’s Bride
- WedLuxe
Tv Shows
We all have been suckered into a wedding show. From ones that compete to outdo another bride to choosing wedding dresses. There is a show for just about every part of your wedding. I for one love a good cake competition from time to time. I mean there are some real cake wars out there. It is also nice to see different wedding decor and ideas other brides are doing. TLC holds tons of wedding shows throughout the week. Plus there are some binge-worthy cake wars on Netflix as well.

Funny enough, your wedding vision is one of the most common question friends and family members want to know as soon as you get engaged.
