It’s no secret that I am in love with Pinterest. The website has led me to some wonderful recipes, festive food creations, craft projects and super simple organization ideas that I’ve already implemented numerous times.
Though I’m so happy Ryan and I were married last year, our wedding planning took place in the days before Pinterest. I feel like I missed out on a gold mine of ideas!
In the spirit of our upcoming anniversary, I figured I’d share some wedding photos from Pinterest in a montage we’ll call "Our Wedding: What I Would’ve Done if Pinterest Existed."
(Note #1: Pinterest started in March 2010, but I feel like it really exploded in 2011, so it technically did exist for a few months before our wedding, but I wasn’t aware of its glory. Note #2: I loved everything about our wedding and wouldn’t actually change a thing. These are just ideas I fell in love with and would’ve taken into consideration. Note #3: Do any of you pronounce “Pinterest” like “Pintrest?” I can’t be the only one!)

P.S. No normal lunch post today. I ate three bowls of cereal for lunch and figured these wedding pictures were about 10,000 times more beautiful.

I basically have my whole wedding planned out thanks to Pinterest. My boyfriend and I agreed that we both want a fall wedding so I went to town pinning everything and anything fall wedding related. A girl has to be ready when he pops the question, right? 😉
I definitely say ‘pintrest’ and it’s now a verb with me and all my friends – pinteresting! It’s such an amazing website!!
Oh yes, it definitely is.
It is getting up there with Facebook stalkerness… “I saw that on so and so’s Facebook!” It is now, “Ohh I totally pinned/repinned that!” Or, “Oh yeah! I saw that on Pinterest!”
Too funny!
This is such a funny post, because literally LAST NIGHT a married friend of mine said this exact.same.thing. Well, that she would not have spent as much money that she would have done more D.I.Y. stuff.
I also had a friend said, “I do not know why there is a need for Wedding Planners anymore with Pinterest around.”
However, there is SUCH CUTE STUFF, that when I repin I sometimes, selfishly, think… “Oh no, I do not want any of my friends to see I repinned this now, because 1. they may steal it for their “One Day in the Future” wedding haha or 2. I do not want them to see this BEFORE I use it as a gift idea.
I am clearly overally obsessed with Pinterest. This girl lacks creativity–it makes me feel like I can pretend that I am!
I got engaged in July, and a friend of mine told me to look at pinterest for ideas and inspiration. I pretty much only have wedding boards on my pinterest, but I figure who needs a wedding planner when you can practically do it yoursel on pinterest!? The thing I’ve found most helpful is looking at neat and unique wedding photos that I can give to our photographer so they have some ideas of the kinds of pictures we want. I’m addicted!!!
AWWWWW! everything here is sooo cute!! and I agree, Pinterest is such an inspiration for my wedding planning!! Also, Julie, try looking at http://www.greenweddingshoes.com!! I love that site haha. And the first cake, oh my! And that romantic dress! And that groom….awww my heart’s melting haha.
I definitely pronounce it as “pintrest.” Is that wrong?? I’m obsessed too!
LOVE the Badgley Mischka shoes! I’ve started using Pinterest for wedding planning too… mind you, it’s a long way off because I’m currently very single!! But I love gathering up the ideas. That lace dress.. OMG, gorgeous!! 🙂
Okay the picture of the groom crying just made my eyes swell up too! That is the sweetest thing I have ever seen in my entire life!
isn’t it!?!?! such a wonderful moment!
I’m in love with that romantic dress!!! Definitely would have been my second choice if I had seen it before getting married. It’s stunning!
BTW, your cutest groom picture ever link goes to the hairstyle page when I tried to find the actual picture to see if there were more!!
Just an FYI!
oops! just fixed it. thanks, ashley!
The last groom picture is soooo cute
That groom picture KILLS me. I always browse pinterest (and pronounce it the same way you do) for wedding stuff, but I’m not engaged!
Omgosh it’s totally Pintrest! is there even another way to pronounce? You found some great shots. Pinterest has been a great way to catalogue things for my wedding – I pulled it up for my florist, my planner, my cake guy… It’s excellent!
I love all those pictures! Those pearl cakes are awesome and I love that RSVP! What a great idea! I also pronounce pinterest as pintrest! Your not the only one!
Thanks so much for sharing! I’m planning my wedding now, and Pinterest has been a fabulous tool and source of inspiration. I’m hoping to have an undone side bun for my wedding day!
I love looking at wedding photos. It’s going to be awhile for me, but it’s nice to look in the meantime! I feel like Pinterest is almost giving me unrealistic expectations for my future wedding because I doubt I’ll be able to afford all of the fantastic/beautiful/EXPENSIVE ideas I find on there. *sigh*
I love Pinterest! And I swear everytime I’m on, someone else has repinned your pre-wedding picture. I think you’re doing your fair share to inspire other brides-to-be 😉
Woa you really have some great taste for wedding stuff!
A lot of the links aren’t working for me (I can’t seem to find the actual picture for the fist pump groom and rsvp cards) but I just pinned them from here. So cute!
I put a pic of the cake on your facebook page. 🙂
I got married in September and our cake had pearls! I am getting into “Pintrest” too.
I put a reply on someone else’s comment….noob
I say pintrest too I thought that’s how it was pronounced! Lol I love the RSVP cards I definitely using it for my wedding (far future)
I love getting ideas for my future wedding on Pinterest!! I’ve always pronounced it “Pintrest” too 🙂
These are all beautiful photos. There’s not one I don’t like! I think our tastes are very similar! 😉
I, too, would’ve LOVED if I discovered Pinterest as we were planning our wedding.
I say pintrest I think everyone does, it makes more sense! The pic of the groom crying make me want to cry, so adorable!
I’m planning my wedding right now, and I’ve seriously said to myself about a million times – how did anyone ever plan a wedding before Pinterest? And Etsy!
I definitely say “Pintrest” too! BTW… I definitely just recognized one of YOUR wedding pictures floating around in the Pinterest Wedding & Events category w/ a bunch of people repinning. You’re a pinterest celeb!
These are absolutely beautiful pictures! I’m in the process of planning my wedding now and I’m not a member of pintrest. I actually don’t even really know how it looks. After seeing these pictures though, I think I’m going to need to join! I love all things wedding 🙂
I just got married 3 weeks ago, and couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this post! Between my sister and I, my whole wedding was planned with pinterest (which I say “pintrest”!) Not to mention, that my hair was ‘created’ from the exact hair pictures you posted!
My boyfriend and I aren’t even engaged yet (we’re waiting until we’re both done with grad school), but I already have our entire wedding planned through Pinterest (and yes, I pronounce it Pintrest, too. Just like interest). In fact, I have some of these exact photos pinned! (Including the two groom photos, the first of which makes me giggle and the second which makes me tear up every. single. time)!
I’ve been trying to avoid Pinterest at all costs.
As much as I love looking at photos and getting new ideas, it sounds so addicitve!
I love so many of those hair styles. Beautiful.
Yes, I pronounce it “Pintrest” too. And I could spend hours on it – it is so inspiring! My best friend just got engaged and I am the MOH so I’ll definitely be getting ideas from there! Love the pearl cake!
I pronounce it Pin Interest. Like two words. Apparently I thought it was pininterest until I actually joined the site. winning.
Ah I love the groom pose with the fist in the air- so cute! Pinterest really sucks you in- its the best!
LOVE that last picture of the groom.. I think what makes those moments so special is because the men in our life are strong, protective.. our rocks and security. Seeing that raw emotion just warms our hearts and takes our love for them to a whole new level!
I totally pronounce it like “Pintrest,” too! It’s addicting, but I get so many cool ideas from it.
The pictures of the lace dresses are beautiful.
CUTE pictures. I WANT those pink Badgley shoes…..want want!!
I don’t even know how to pronounce Pinterest or how to pin…..but it sure sounds like I need to get on that!
I actually LOVED everything about my wedding and would not have changed a thing, or even considered it-I guess I am lucky?! 🙂
I love the idea of the Ad-Lib RSVP cards!!!! So funny! And of course that last picture of the groom is the sweetest/most adorable pic ever!!!
I’ve been on Pinterest once and am scared to go back. I know I’ll become addicted and won’t be productive ever again 🙂

someone loved your wedding just as much as u did 🙂
i love pinterest! and that dress (romantic one) is exactly what i want mine to look like!
Um, so how are you supposed to pronounce it because I say it exactly like you do! And that groom picture is adorable…it reminds me of Nick Lachey when he saw Jessica Simpson. Why oh why didn’t those two make it?? sigh. I’ll let it go one day.
I SO wish Pinterest was around when i was wedding planning too! I got married last September so same time frame as you! There are so many ideas on there, and unique ones too. I also love it for photo ideas, I remember searching everywhere for clever/cute shots and it was not easy!
I actually saw that lace wedding dress on Pinterest the other day, and I love it!! One day! 🙂
i love pinterest too! its so easy to get lost in time. also, your wedding picture is on pinterest! the one where you and ryan are holding hands between the doors…its so cute!
I say pintrest and it really bothers me when people say pin interest (like two words). Here’s how it’s actually supposed to be pronounced via Pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/102450165/
Oh yeah, “pintrest” it is!! I kept say, PINE-Interest haha! My boyfriend was like, “it should be pronounced “Pintrest” right”? I am like OMG, thank god for you haha!! Love the pictures, so beautiful. I just had an amazing thought that I cannot wait to see my boyfriends face when I walk (or dance) down the isle to him…wow. 🙂
I also love Pinterest and have gotten some great recipe ideas and motivational pins. I am sure it would have changed my wedding quite a bit. Quite a few years ago and at 24, I had NO idea what I was doing.

I saw that grooms pic on Pinterest awhile ago and just about died. Could there be a sweeter reaction?? Swoon.
I want that groom pic 🙁
I’m not even engaged and I’ve started wedding planning on Pintrest.
I showed my mother, she’s terrified for my future bank account to say the least. After showing my boyfriend, he’s considering getting a second job haha.
I love it! Now I’ve just got to figure out the means to live out some of my pintrest dreams…
Are you sure we’re not following each other on Pinterest? I swear we have pinned ALL of the exact photos (minus the cakes) – LOL!
I believe…because I’m a dork like that and google searched the “technical” way of pronouncing Pinterest and according to the site, it’s pronounced as “interest” but with a “P” in front of it. Yep…I’m a dork. 🙂
PS – I always love when I stumble across the photo of you and Ryan on Pinterest. It always makes me smile.
