The days of the basic silver and white or white and gold wedding day has passed Today weddings are bright and colorful, utilizing greens, reds, pinks, blacks, purples etc. Bright or subdued color has become a very important part of the wedding day planning process. One way to organize and plan your wedding day and make sure your color pallet does not clash at some point is to create a Wedding Inspiration Board, also called wedding story boards or wedding mood boards.

A Wedding Inspiration Board board is basically a collage of pictures, usually from magazines, swatches and drawings that help you pull together your wedding day color schemes and also decorating ideas and other details. Showing your board to your wedding planner / coordinator, florist, decorator, banquet manager will help them visualize and understand what you want your wedding to be and the mood you want to evoke.

You can find a lot of Wedding Inspiration Boards on Flicker.
