2 Save the pictures that inspire you via the website Pinterest {www.pinterest.com}. If you haven't signed up yet, you really should! It's the best way to create mood boards for your different wedding ideas. My advice is to create one for every theme you're considering. Take a look at my Pinterest boards {www.pinterest.com/ beforethebigday} to give you an idea. Once you've opened your Pinterest account, you can save every scrap of wedding inspiration in one place. 3 Have you discovered Etsy {www.etsy.com} yet? 4 Trawl the wedding blogs. It's a-mazing! Basically it's an online marketplace, where the most creative people in the world sell handmade or vintage items. It is chock-a-block packed with wedding ideas and inspiration, and I'd really recommend signing up for their weekly wedding emails. Folksy {www.folksy.com} is another similar website which is quite a bit smaller, but more UK-based. I suppose I’m bound to think this, but honestly the wedding blogs are the best place for free wedding inspiration. I recommend taking a look at Before the Big Day {www.beforethebigday} – it’s updated daily, so it can be your little treat on your lunch break. Be sure to look at the Real Weddings section – that’s where you can beg, borrow and steal other brides’ wedding ideas, and keep up on all the latest wedding trends. 5 Find wedding inspiration from your life as a couple. Think back through your courtship, your first date, your first holiday together, where you got engaged, where you live, your hobbies, what you love doing together, eating together, watching on TV. Do you both love travel to France? Live in London? Love Chinese food? Did you both grow up in the countryside? Did you meet thanks to a shared love of music?
