Every girl has one: a wedding Pinterest board, a place where you can gather ideas for the day you say I do to the man of your dreams. Pinterest Wedding Boards help feed into the idea that girls dream about their wedding day throughout their entire life. I know my board is full of wedding dresses with lace sleeves, sunflower bouquets, and beautiful fall decorations. I joke and say pinterest has given me the ability to plan a wedding in just a few hours.

However, some people claim that Pinterest is not giving people the day of their dreams, but instead gives them the reincarnation of another couples’ reality. Some people say that by using ideas from other people’s weddings, you are robbing yourself of the chance for you and your future husband to make your own memories.

While some think Pinterest is taking the originality out of the wedding business, I personally disagree. We have all seen it on our Facebook feeds: brides asking their friends to be part of their bridal party using a ring pop. Is it over used?  Yes. But is it robbing them of memories? No. The memory is not giving your life long best friend a ring pop. The memory is the look on her face when she realizes that you want her to be a huge part of your special day. I personally hope my friends use this method, and I hope the ring pop is green apple flavored!

Picture this. You have a fairytale wedding. The ceremony is performed flawlessly. The kiss is breathtaking. The guests are dancing at the reception all night long, but when you go to look at your pictures something is missing. The kiss is from the wrong angle. They missed the groom’s face as he first sees you walking down the aisle. The wedding was perfect, but the pictures are not.
Wedding photography is a big decision. Of course you will always cherish those moments, but having the pictures to remember them by makes your special day that much more memorable. Here at StudioWed Nashville, we made a video to showcase some of the wedding and engagement pictures taken by our amazing photography vendors!

What made you interested in this internship?
I have always loved weddings. My friends get so tired of movie nights at my house because I constantly pick Bride Wars! I also have a secret obsession with reading wedding magazines, which got embarrassing once when the cashier congratulated me on my engagement! I had to explain to him that I just read them for fun, something that is much more acceptable at StudioWed :)

What do you like most about working at StudioWed Nashville?
One of my favorite things about the internship program at StudioWed Nashville is the way we all work together! All of the interns share tasks and help with brainstorming. For example, I could not possibly write every blog post, so all of the other interns help me out by submitting their own posts! By working together, and under the guidance of our Studio Manager Porsche, we are able to work to the best of our abilities and learn a lot while still having fun and forming great friendships!

Fun fact: I ran my first full marathon last year, and I can’t wait to do another!

Overwhelmed by the numerous options to choose from when planning your wedding? Color is such an important factor to anyone planning their special day, as they want it to be unforgettable. Radiant Orchid is perfect for everything including flower arrangements, centerpieces, save the dates, styling, and much more. This charming color is the perfect blend of fuchsia, purple, and pink undertones. Still not sold? This color is a perfect representation of great joy, love, and health.
