Working on the design team at Pinterest it was obvious from the start that Meredith & Chris’s wedding was going to be full of beautiful inspiration. So if your planning the wedding of your dreams get that ‘pin it’ button ready because this wedding will inspire you for years to come…Plus, in the end, we got a section with a few awesome tips on how you can craft the ultimate Pinterest wedding yourself!
“Exactly two years ago, we were headed to Hawaii for an end of summer vacation. The day before our departure, two hurricanes were in the path of Hawaii, so we had to change our travel plans.” Meredith began.
“A friend had recently told me all about the quaint and artsy town of Los Cabos and so decided to head there instead since it was a short three hour flight from San Francisco. One evening, we decided to head to Flora Farms per recommendation. Upon arrival, I knew it was where I would get married someday. It was exactly the vibe I wanted for our special day. The food was amazing, the dogs roaming around the property was a dream come true (as we are both big dog lovers) and I fell in love with every single detail on the property.”
“Fast forward one year later, Chris popped the question and shortly after he looked at me and simply said “we are getting at Flora Farm aren’t we?” and that was it! I was getting married to the love of my life at the place I loved most.”
“Since I work on the design team at Pinterest, it would be stating the obvious that I had lots of secret wedding boards and already had hundreds of pins for the big day. The best part about Flora Farm was that there was actually very little we needed to do in terms of decorations as it is so beautiful and charming on its own. I worked closely with Amy Abbott and we discussed the desire for authentic pops of color in the bouquet and on the tables, a Mariachi Band and to do something out of the ordinary by using macrame for the ceremony. The icing on the cake was the “releasing of the hounds” after the cake cutting when the lovely staff brought all of the rescue dogs from the farm down to the reception and let the dogs loose for the the guests, Chris and I to hang out with. Since the majority of us all have dogs and left them in the States, it was the perfect ending to the reception and the perfect beginning to our happily ever after.”

From Pin to Perfection: Crafting the Ultimate Pinterest Wedding
Planning your Pinterest wedding can feel like you’re stepping into a fantasy world—beautiful, but a little overwhelming! Here are a few extra tips to keep that dream from turning into a DIY disaster.
Stay True to Your Style
One of the best parts of a Pinterest wedding is all the creative options. But remember, trends come and go. Instead of trying to nail every popular pin, pick elements that fit your personal style and will stand the test of time. You don’t want to look back in ten years and think, “Why did we ever pick that neon sign?”
Prioritize Your Pins
With so many ideas to choose from, it’s crucial to prioritize. Focus on the “must-haves” that’ll make the biggest impact on your day. Trying to recreate every single pin can lead to unnecessary stress. Is the 12-tier cake beautiful? Yes. Do you need it? Probably not. Pick and choose wisely to keep your Pinterest wedding within reach.
Create a Digital Planning Board
Instead of just scrolling through pins aimlessly, organize them into specific categories like decor, flowers, and outfits. This not only helps keep things organized but gives you a clearer picture of how your Pinterest wedding will come together. I did this while planning mine, and trust me, it saves time when you’re running through endless to-do lists!
DIY with Caution
Pinterest makes DIY look deceptively easy. Before embarking on a massive crafting spree, try out a few smaller projects to see what you actually enjoy doing. Some things—like intricate floral arrangements—might be better left to professionals. I learned this the hard way after attempting to create my own centrepieces, only to have them fall apart a day before the wedding!
Your Pinterest wedding can become a reality, but balance is key. By staying true to your style, being smart with budgeting, and making it uniquely yours, you’ll turn those dreamy pins into a perfect celebration. Just remember: the ultimate goal is a day that celebrates you both, not just a perfect photo op!
Oh my gosh! the place is awesome… superb shots!
Such a vibrant wedding, I love it that the food is even colour coordinated.
