When it comes to wedding planning, Pinterest is the go-to source for inspirational images, whimsical wedding snaps, and creative ideas that you can adapt for your big day.
We’ve gone through just some of what Pinterest has to offer, to bring you our favourite 10 wedding ideas from the site:
1. Rules for the dancefloor

The great thing about this idea is that it can be customised to include family jokes, or something specific to the couple – do you have a family member who is well-known for busting out a certain routine? Include it on the board.
2. Industrial itinerary

Not only does this serve a practical purpose to help keep everything running smoothly, but it also adds a feature for guests to admire.
3. Decorate the dancefloor

4. Get on your dancing shoes

If you want your guests to enjoy the reception, and want a filled dancefloor, it’s a great idea to provide comfortable footwear for the ladies to change into.
5. Modern technology

Pick a hashtag for your wedding day (and don’t forget to check that it’s not already taken), and use a cute and attractive message board such as this one to ask guests to tag any photos they upload. That way, all of your guests will be able to find them and enjoy them.
6. Musical memories

Include the song that plays as the bridal party get ready, the song as the bride walks down the aisle, the first dance between the bride and groom, the song from the father daughter dance, and many more that are significant to the couple and their big day.
7. Fairy lights

They are also an item that can be taken home by the bride and groom, as well as other guests, to be used again and again.
8. Decorate the DJ booth

Speak with your DJ first to ensure they are OK with it, but why not make more of a decorative feature out of the source of your evening entertainment?
9. Entertain the kiddies
https://www.pinterest.co.uk/
pin/569142471636374623/ If there are going to be young children at your wedding, keeping them entertained can be a challenge. While some people think of providing games and crafts at a children’s table, this often includes crayons and markers, which may be frowned upon by your venue and create more problems than it solves.
Providing the kids with bubbles is a method of entertainment with minimal opportunities to go wrong, and if you’re lucky will look great in the photos!
10. Date night inspiration
