I mentioned in this post that I was doing a course with Holly Becker from Decor8 (beyond inspiring!). Our recent homework assignment was to do a mood board relating to our blog.
I haven't worked on a mood board in ages and, in my usual manner, I procrastinated a little, just letting thoughts run around in my head. When I did get down to the nitty gritty of it all I had soo much fun and I quite like how things have turned out. It's a bit 'darker' than I intended but feedback from 'my' brides (photos and Thank You's) is really important to me and so I included these references. There is always room for improvement, though ... especially when it comes to my photography skills (or lack thereof).
Here is the board (laid out on a recently finished DIY pinboard) as well as some zoom-ins.
In terms of making wedding dresses, I tend to prefer uncluttered lines and simple silhouettes so there is quite a lot of 'busy-ness' on this board. It does, however, reflect the things I love about my work and what inspires me.
I would love to hear what you think of my mood board.
Love,

Hi Sam, I am just around the corner from you. Hurrah, we can have our own BYW coffee meet up, in far South Africa.......where the Sartorialist has been on the ground......
ReplyDeleteI really like your mood board. If I was a "too be"bride, hahahha, I would love a mood board.
