Creating a Mood Board: Visualise Your Dream Wedding

When it comes to planning your perfect wedding, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the choices—venues, colours, flowers, themes. One of the best ways to bring your vision to life is by creating a mood board. It’s a fantastic tool to help you get organised, stay inspired, and see how different elements will come together on your big day.

Here’s how to create a wedding mood board that reflects your personal style:

1. Start with a Theme

Do you dream of a rustic outdoor ceremony? A chic, modern celebration? Or maybe a boho, whimsical day? Pick a theme that speaks to you and your partner, and it will guide the rest of your choices.

2. Choose Your Colour Palette

Select a few key colours that you love. Keep in mind how these shades will look in your venue, and how they’ll play out in your decor, florals, and even your attire. The right palette can set the entire mood, and it’s important to choose colours that you’ll want to see throughout the day—and in your wedding painting!

3. Collect Visual Inspiration

Gather images from Pinterest, wedding blogs, or Instagram that inspire you—venues, flower arrangements, table settings, gowns, and anything else that catches your eye. Seeing everything side by side can help you narrow down the look and feel you’re going for.

4. Include Personal Details

Don’t forget to add personal touches that make your wedding uniquely yours. Whether it’s a family heirloom, a specific flower that means something to you, or a unique piece of decor, these little details will make the day—and your wedding painting—all the more meaningful.

5. Bring it All Together

Once you have your mood board, share it with your wedding vendors. A mood board is a great way to communicate your vision to everyone involved, including your live wedding painter (me!). 

Knowing your colours, theme, and personal touches helps me bring those key elements into your painting and ensure it captures the true essence of your wedding day.

Not only will your mood board guide your wedding planning, but it will also help me create a custom piece of art that reflects your style and the love you share.
