**FLASH**Moodboards - let's get an idea of each others' weddings

Gurzle, 19 February, 2012 at 22:09 Posted on Planning 0 53

Hi everyone - I've done my first ever moodboard! I don't really like colour schemes as such, but not sure if this looks a bit 'bitty' as after googling I have seen some beautifully done colour schemes and now I'm wondering if I was too damning! What do you think - does it 'draw together'? If you click on the image, it brings it up bigger so you can have a proper look.

Anyway, on a less 'all about me' note, I was wondering if anyone else had a moodboard they'd like to flash so we could all get an idea of each others' weddings? I would love to see your ideas for your days ?

    Miserable sods, I will flash with you Gurzle!!

    My first moodboard too, not got pictures of everything so there's only a few bits on there but you get the gist. Yours looks fab by the way, particularly love your venue and centrepieces.

    Can't flash as on phone but I'm not one for colour schemes either Gurzle. I think yours ties together really nicely.

    Some lovely flashes here ? I started one last week for inspiration purposes and it has gotten a bit out of hand...e.g. 11 PowerPoint slides ?

    Once I gather my thoughts and calm it down a bit I will flash.

    Happy planning x

    My mood board is on my hard drive at home so I can't flash at the minute ☹️

    Your modd board is great Gurzle, I particularly love all your stationery and your table plan. I also love the style of your day!

    Great idea Gurzle Smiley smile

    This is my 1 year to go mood board... I haven't updated it since last July!! Most of the pics are still accurate, though I've changed the BM dresses.

    Thanks girls! I love getting to know what people are going for - helps when I'm trying to answer posts in a meaningful way. Pinky your day looks beaut - I love the colours. Kharv I know you're a fellow non colour schemer! BV your flowers look lovely - I look forward to seeing the updated version. It helps to put everything together doesn't it? NYEsparkly bride has done separate boards for each part pf her day - I think I might do that tonight, I've got the bug, it's been a long time since I thought about the wedding as we booked it for this Summer originally then postponed it 'til next April for lots of reasons (new jobs, PhD, lots of other family weddings - nothing too dramatic) so I put it all on the back burner. Still got lots of time to go, but starting to do things again now - got an appointment to get my shoes designed today (I won a competition a while back) and I'm at the 'looking at drawings' stage for my dress with my dressmaker - fabric shopping in Libertys in a few weeks which I'm looking forward to. I know there'll be another lull over the Summer, but I'm enjoying it while I can!

    Venart I can't see your main moodboard as I'm on my phone, but I can see your beautiful castle! Absolutely wonderful venue - I sort of hate myself for saying this as I like to think I'm v cool and laid back about the whole thing, but I'm a bit jealous you get to have the word 'castle' on your invitations!

    This is my first moodboard. I guess it's moved on from a moodboard because everything on it IS part of the wedding, not just an idea.

    Plus extras that wouldn't fit on the mood board!

    The reception is in a 160 seater marquee in the garden. We are having a jazz band for the afternoon garden party, champagne and strawberries. They will play during dinner too. Then a ceilidh band for an hour after the speeches. Then a DJ to party until the early hours - we have no finish time on our invites. As we are having outdoor loos and facilities for the marquee, some guests are camping overnight too. Proper festival wedding (but cleaner!).

    Ahh, Kharv, I love yours. That venue looks looks positively regal, as does the JA dress! Once upon a time I looked at both your dress and your BM dresses, but ended up settling on others.

    I think of all the cakes posted, I like yours best, too (no fondant! yay!) ❤️

    I don't like fondant either! I always pick it off.

    I have the same shoes as you Kharv! But decided they weren't very 'me' and that I had bought them on impulse just because they were Jimmy Choo. So they went on eBay...

    Thanks Venart. I've just realised I can't see yours though! Your venue looks amazing.

    My mum is making the cake - it'll have an extra tier but may not look quite as 'neat' as that one!

    Gurzle - are you hiring the cart that the sweet buffet is on? It's gorgeous.

    Lovely mood boards everybody. I haven't done one yet but you've inspired me. Guess what I'll be doing this evening? ?

    (I wish! in reality I'll be leaving work to go to my mum's to pick youngest son up, driving back home to pick eldest son up from after-school club, taking him to his gymnastics club, nipping home to quickly feed youngest son before dashing back to pick eldest up once gymnastics finishes, going back home to put both boys to bed, putting dinner on for us whilst I iron clothes for tomorrow/check school bag/prepare bag for nursery/make our lunches, eating dinner and then collapsing. How am I ever supposed to plan a wedding <sob>Smiley winking

    PP - yep we're hiring it, we got a deal on it as we also ordered all of the sweets through the company, all of our table runners (white satin ones), outside lanterns for the walkways and patios and a white royal mail post box. I'm going to add my own cupcakes and cake pops to it though, but my nan is going to make these for us. Everything on the moodboard is stuff we've actually ordered, no bm dresses or suits yet as I'm not planning on doing that stuff until the 6 month mark.

    Aaw wow!! I love your ideas! I'm not big on set colour themes of just one colour so I@m just going to go for similar shades of lots of colours! It looks as though you're looking at a sort of vintage theme, same as me! I'm currently looking for some vintage style sweetie bags and I'm going to use brown luggage tags to label the sweetie jars!

    good luck with all your plans, keep in touch date twin!!! : )

    My mood-board is somewhat different from those on here ?

    I'm being delivered to my venue in a half-track (or a military Hum-vee depending on weather).

    My dress might be white not red, not decided yet.

    Star Trek and My Little Pony will feature somewhere in my wedding.

    Loving these moodboards ladies! And particularly pleased to see I'm not the only one adding a bit of black to their colour scheme ?

    A half-tracks its the vehicle you can see on my moodboard on the middle right. It's a military vehicle. Basically, Half a tank. ? I've never been a posh, shiny car person to be honest.

    Another thing I forgot to mention is "Imzadi" means "beloved/one true love" in Betazoid (A fictional language of an alien race on star trek). It's mine and my partners name for each other. Nerd alert.
