The Pros and
Cons of Pinterest...
As
one of the top wedding planners,
we embrace technology and the emer-
gence of different mediums to not only
communicate with our clients, but with
wedding guests and other vendors as
well. We love to use well-designed wed-
ding website templates, efficient floor
plan software, and a detailed manage-
ment program to plan all our events.
One medium has completely revolu-
tionized the way planners and engaged
couples convey ideas and design con-
cepts. That medium is Pinterest.
Pinterest allows both vendors and
couples to share photos with one another
and enables us to create design boards
by taking ideas and expanding on them.
Although the pros definitely outweigh the
cons, here are some of the pros and cons
when using Pinterest in planning your
wedding.
For one, with any technology, you
sometimes need a break in order to clear
your mind and get your real creative
juices flowing. Some of our best ideas
have come from when we have taken a
Pinterest-hiatus. One example is when
we planned a modern art gallery wed-
ding. For the seating chart we printed
some of the couple's favorite pieces from
the gallery and underneath the artwork,
we utilized gallery tags not only with the
information of each piece of art, but with
the names of the guests seated at that ta-
ble. We then had corresponding pictures
of each artwork in a small frame at each
