One of the challenges with using a blank canvas, such as a house that is not typically rented out for weddings, is coming up with a vision.  The more I work on wedding planning, the more convinced that it is an exercise of creating a vision that is right for you, and using that vision to make choices  in the midst of countless options avail to you.  I used the Springpad clipper to quickly capture images that I like from Google images and pinterest.

I was able to come up a few that my fiancee agrees with.   After a few of these, I think both of us have a more concrete idea of how we want the house to look like on our big day, candles around the edge of the pool, paper lanterns hanging across strings of light, and intimate table arrangements.

I’ve included these images on the below slideshow (I have to save the images from Springpad onto my computer and upload them onto wordpress).  In a Spring item, you can also upload multiple images and scroll through them,  similar to the slideshow here.

This exercise of gathering inspirations took less than thirty minutes!  I believe that planning is by leaps and bounds easier with inspirational tools like Google images, pinterest, and Springpad.
