(Because “I just want something nice” is not a wedding theme)

Planning your wedding is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming when you’re trying to translate all your ideas into something your vendors can understand. That’s where a wedding mood board comes in.

Think of it as the blueprint for your dream day. It helps you define your style, focus your ideas, and make sure everyone involved is working towards the same vision. Here’s how to create one that truly feels like you.

1. Start with your wedding vibe

Before you choose colors or scroll through Pinterest, decide on the feel of your wedding. Do you want something romantic and timeless? Sleek and modern? Richly traditional? Soft and dreamy?
Your vibe sets the tone for everything else, from your décor and outfits to the music and lighting.

2. Pick 2–3 main colors

Keep it simple! Whether you love neutrals with a pop, bold jewel tones, or pastel shades, your colors will guide everything from décor to bridal train looks — even your invitations. Too many colors can make your theme feel scattered, so stick to a palette that feels cohesive.

3. Gather inspiration from the right places

Pinterest, Instagram, and wedding blogs are your best friends here. Save anything that catches your eye, without overthinking it at first. At this stage, you’re collecting ideas — you’ll edit them down later.

4. Focus on the big five

These are the elements that will define your wedding aesthetic:

• Dress

• Décor

• Bridal train looks

• Cake

• Venue setup

When these pieces flow together visually, everything else naturally falls into place.

5. Put it all together in a visual collage

You don’t need fancy tools. Canva, Pinterest boards, or even a neatly organized photo album on your phone will work. The goal? When you look at it, it should scream your wedding.

6. Share it with your vendors

Your mood board isn’t just for fun. It’s a communication tool. Our Oak-sage team of planners, decorators, photographers, and makeup artists will understand your vision faster and more clearly if we can see it.

Bonus tip: Don’t overpack it.
It’s tempting to add every beautiful thing you find, but too many ideas create confusion. Choose what makes you feel happy, calm, and beautiful — and let that be your guide.

At Oak-Sage Events, we love helping our couples bring their vision boards to life. Whether your dream day is grand and luxurious or intimate and romantic, a well-thought-out mood board makes it all easier, smoother, and even more fun.
