screenshot of my wedding dress inspo board on pinterest
This is the second post in the series of posts I decided to write on how I found my wedding dress.
Chapter I was about searching the web and turning every pixel in wedding dress sites and online bridal boutiques.
This time I will dedicate a few words to pinterest, as an easy online tool for finding inspiration and organizing it. As you can see, the second step to finding the dress also took place in the comfort of my own home and in front of the computer. love it!
I don't think I need to explain about pinterest, and if by any chance you are still not familiar with this platform I suggest you open an account and strat rolling with it. It can do you no harm.. Anyway, before I started going to boutiques and studios and actually trying on dresses, I decided to make an inspiration board for the dress I was looking for.
This was done in order to get a clear picture of what I want, and to make it easier to get it.
By browsing my board you'll not be able to see the dress I chose, but in every picture I added there is some element that I loved and wanted to incorporate in my dress.
I highly recommend making such board, in any design project but especially when you are faced with the task of finding a wedding dress. It can help you stay clear and focused about what you want, and even if you are not quite sure what you want you can add images of stuff you like and eventually find the themes and main ideas that surface from what you have collected.
I tried to make my board "short and sweet" with not too many ideas to distract me. Such board can also be taken to a designer or seamstress and also help you determine which places you're gonna go eventually to try stuff on, and which oned you can skip.
On my next post in the series, the search goes to the streets. Stay tuned!
לא נראה לי שאני צריכה להרחיב בהקדמות על איך פינטרסט עובד, וזה גם לא כל כך מסובך - פשוט תפתחו חשבון ותתחילו לזרום איתו - אבל למי שממש מתעקש אומר שמדובר בלוח אימג'ים מקוון, בסגנון לוח השעם של פעם, רק בלי נעצים ובלי שיתפוס מקום על הקיר. וגם לא על ההארד דיסק.
אפשר ליצור לוחות בכל מיני נושאים ובכמות בלתי מוגבלת, ולצרף אליהם תמונות שמצאתם ברחבי הרשת מ(כמעט) כל אתר. כמו כן, אפשר לעקוב אחרי אנשים מעניינים ולצרף תמונות שמצאו חן בעיניכם בלוח של מישהו אחר.
לוח ההשראה הזה הוא משהו שבסופו של דבר גם אפשר לקחת למעצב/ת או לתופרת ולהראות להם, כמו כן, הוא יכול מאוד לעזור בבחירת וצמצום המקומות שבסופו של דבר הולכים אליהם למדוד שמלות.
Stay tuned.
