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!)

In case you’re hoping for more details about the images, the sources of the pictures that had sources attributed to them on Pinterest are linked above each picture.
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 haven’t really done much on Pinterest because I KNOW I’ll get addicted.
I was married 3 years ago, and with all the new ideas I see coming up, I think I want to plan a vow renewal party. 🙂
THOSE were MY wedding shoes!!! Too funny 😀 I loved them! I have them on my wedding pics on my FB, I do believe. 🙂
& I LOVE that pasley cake!!!!

I LOVE that lace rehearsal dress!! Clearly I need to join Pinterest.. I’m just afraid it’ll suck up even more of my time haha.
I do pronounce like Pintrest. I ignore the first “e.”
I’m not engaged but I have a “If I get married” board on there because there are so many cute ideas that I’d hate to lose them. Haha. My future husband should be scared.
I have that lace rehearsal dressed pinned too! Pinterest (pronounced Pin-trist by me 🙂 ) is making wedding planning so much more fun and visual. It is so nice to be able to find something I love and then share the board with my mom and maid of honor!
Does anyone know who makes that amazing dress (the romantic one?). I am obsessed!
That last picture of the groom is priceless.
I just got engaged last Saturday, so thankfully I’ve been pinning away my fabulous ideas!!!
I used to say pin-ter-rest but now pin-trest!
And I just re-pinned everything you put up on my Pinterest Wedding board. Getting married next summer and these are the exact colors I want! Thank you because I think I just found my perfect cake and bouquet!
Haha, I love those RSVP cards!! I bet those would be a blast to read!
I say Pintrest! I never even considered that it should be pronounced a different way, lol!
It’s so funny you posted about this because I swear to you I just had this conversation with some of my girlfriends the other day. They were all very jealous and envious that I am still unwed so they could use pinterest to plan my wedding festivties! 🙂 Oh how I feel so lucky to be the last one wed! LOL
Cute post! When I read “pintrest”.. I thought to myself “Duh thats how its pronounced.” But now I’m not so sure… I just pronounce it like I pronounce “interest.” Hm… haha!
Aww i love the last two wedding pictures!! So sweet!
So prettty! I loved looking at these 😀
I love Pintrest! (As i call it, too!) LOL! I love looking at the recipes, home decor, humor and fitness ones!! The fitness ones are great for motivation!!
Love this! I didn’t find out about Pinterest until after my wedding in August (or at least almost everything was “finalized” before I heard of it). I think it’s a blessing & a curse I didn’t know about it — a blessing because it would have just added more things to decide about!
Love this post! I actually just started a Pinboard for my very-in-the-future wedding. We aren’t even engaged yet, so I’ll be making sure that board remains a secret! haha The wedding and events section is so addicting though!
I am a cereal addict, too. My breakfast consisted of 2 bowls of cereal and I’m considering another bowl for lunch (yes, I’m having lunch at 4pm – I work 3rd shift 😉 ). Oh, and the groom doing the fist pump is adorable!
I say it the same way!
definitely loving it & getting lots of great ideas 🙂
might be sucking up lots of my time though..
So funny, I have been on pinterest most of the day today and a LOT of the pictures you posted were just pinned to my boards! Great minds think alike!
I also came across a couple pictures from your posts today–the picture of you and Ryan and the door (personal fave!) and the veggie skeleton (I think your Mom and sister made it a few weeks ago?)
I just had my wedding last weekend and you are so right – Pinterest is a FANTASTIC resource. Love the ones you found too!
I have so many friends who have made “boards” on Pinterest on what they would have done with the wedding had Pinterest been there.
And I also say it pintrest. The other way is too forced.
I’ve definitely been pinning my little heart out as I plan my wedding..it is so much fun!
Gahhhhhhhh love love love. Pinterest makes me want to get married right now. Haha.
Thanks for that link. I just spent an obscene amount of time looking at a total strangers wedding photos. hahaha. So pretty!
Thanks for sharing these pictures. They are all beautiful and romantic.
I just got married in May and I posted our own wedding pictures on Pinterest to help inspire other brides during her destination wedding planning.
I didn’t get any inspiration from Pinterest during the wedding planning because I recently just joined but we did the “first look” pictures and also the trash the dress pictures too. Those were some of my favorite pictures from our wedding.
I totally say PINTREST.
And omg, that last picture of the groom took my breath away! So darn cute!
Yayyy thank you for posting this! I’m getting married next July and love some of these pics, esp the hair styles. I’ve been trying to explain the undone side bun to my mom and stylist but was never able to find pics of that back- you rock!!!
Ah I am in love love love with all those pictures you have. I think I have most of them pinned! haha Those are all so cute. I can only hope to get married soon so I can use all those ideas! There’s so many of them that are so amazing, i die every time 🙂
I always pronounce it “pintrest” too! I guess I never realized that there is an extra “e” in there:)
Oh. My. Goodness. This post is breathtaking Julie! I LOOVE those groom pictures – the first one is priceless and the second makes me want to tear up a bit, so so sweet!!
The rehearsal dinner dress is gorgeous and those delicate dresses are amazing. Gosh, I could go on forever.
Great taste, lady! 🙂
Love that RSVP…such a cool/funny idea!!
I love Pinterest (and yes, I say it “pintrest”). By the time I’m engaged, I’m pretty sure I’ll have my whole wedding planned :).
Oh my god, that last picture just made me cry. Why did you have to do that?! haha
Those dresses are so lovely! Even the one that’s a tad too short 🙂 love it!!
I love pinterest! But it is very distracting while planning a wedding. Everyday I show my fiance something new we need to do lol!
I think I must be the last person on the planet to figure out what the heck Pinterest is. What is it? I guess I need to find out.
P.S. While the wedding pictures are definitely beautiful, photos of cereal can be just as delightful. Umm, hello Lucky Charms 🙂
Haha I pronounce it exactly the way you do! And um, can you be my wedding planner if and when I get married?? Seriously, everything you picked is absolutely gorgeous!
I am in love with Pinterest too – there are soooooooo many awesome ideas
i’m obsessssed with pinterest. the first time i was talkin about it with my friends i said “pin-interest” and they all looked at me funny and started laughin & i realized i was sayin it wrong ever since then i now pronouce pinterest with no space in between hahaha.
Oh, I definitely saw Pintrest instead of Pinterest. And I definitely used to say “pin-interest” for the longest time, just like Christina!
I am absolutely in love with the pearl wedding cake now, thanks for the pictures!
I hope when my wedding day comes around (not that it’s anytime in the near future…i’m still hunting for the man!), Pinterest either still exists in all it’s glory or has been replaced by something even more magnificent. 🙂
I have a board on Pinterest (pronounced Pintrest, just like you) that I have named Wedding (II) Wishlist. I’m already planning my next wedding to my husband, I though I could use some of the ideas for our 10 year wedding anniversary 🙂
omg, i almost started tearing up at that last picture!!! how sweet!
Oh my gosh Julie these make me want to plan another wedding. The dress, the hair, the shoes…I love everything! And seriously how cute are the RSVP cards. I so wish I was clever enough to think of that.
Yes I said pintrest too! pin-ter-est… is just too awkward to say. um that rsvp card WILL be mine! ha. I’m seriuosly going to go search for it on pintrest now. luckily, I’ve yet to be married so i’m sure it’ll play a huge part in my planning when the day comes, possibly soon? seriuosly though, pinterest makes me want to get married, have babies, take family photos, do crafts all day long, and bake everything possible! in love.
I use Pinterest for wedding ideas! And I pinned the same rehearsal dinner dress as you for the same idea 🙂 And, again like you, I do pronounce it Pin-trest. (It’s how I pronounce interest, so it only makes sense).
Oh I love all of these! I have a wedding pinterest board called “party ideas” so if my boyfriend saw it he hopefully wouldn’t get freaked out! ;p I say pinterest the same way you do!
