Just When You Thought Wedding Week Was Over…
Due to overwhelming demand, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re now offering custom wedding moodboards for bride & grooms-to-be! Everyone deserves a dream wedding (even on a tight budget) so we’re dishing out oodles of affordable, personal, and unique wedding ideas for a signature event that’s oh-so-you. If you’re desperately seeking a starting point, a color scheme, or an overall vision for your big day (or just need a creative boost to get over your wedding planning plateau) we’re here to keep things cohesive, crafty, creative and of course cost effective. For just $60 (less than the cost of invitation stamps) we’ll happily review your current wedding progress and any parameters you’ve set (colors are already decided, the location has already been booked) and within one week we’ll send you a moodboard chock full of unique and personal wedding ideas dreamed up just for you (and don’t worry, we’ll ask a series of questions to pin down your personal style before we begin).
But don’t just take our word for it, check out a wedding moodboard that we recently whipped up for a feisty bride-to-be who loves red and wanted something with spice, energy, and passion.
Our sultry fiesta inspired moodboard features everything from a scarlet begonia in the bride’s hair to a sangria toast with Mexican wedding flags and silver “milagro” place card charms to set the tone for the festive gathering. Tapas style food, some Mexican wedding cookie favors and a spirited mariachi band would keep the party going strong, and the gorgeous pineapple cake would cap off the perfect evening with style to spare.
Here’s our take on a beachy celebration for a preppy bride & groom with visions of seafood and surf.
Our Nantucket inspired twist introduced a fun red, white and navy color scheme along with seersucker suits and bridesmaid dresses and iconic red lobsters on everything from the invite to the adorable personalized lobster bibs for their guests (and they’re even on the groom’s lobster flip flops). Tables covered in white butcher paper and complemented by a table runner of oyster shells would really make for memorable decor and a personalized box of matches with a pail full of sand & sparklers would serve as place cards to keep the sparks flying even after the mini dessert tarts get served up. And when guests leave with their fun favor in hand (a bright red metal lobster cracker) they’ll return to their hotel to find kitschy welcome kits with old bay tartar sauce and crab flavored potato chips.
This wedding moodboard was created for a fun-loving couple who wanted something outdoorsy and less formal than the average reception.
We came up with a super fun picnic theme and thought of everything from watermelon and brightly colored frisbee favors to personalized picnic utensils and fun place cards with playful ants marching across the top. Festive picnic blankets would be laid out along with some coordinating picnic table decor- even the gorgeous cake would feature a delectable grass detail to complement our picnic theme and tie in perfectly with our raspberry, lemon and grass green color scheme. For a splurge we even suggested that the bride and groom depart in a hot-air balloon… how memorable (and romantic!) would that be?!
So if you’re looking for signature style and personal touches to spare, look no further- just click here to get the ball rolling! Let the fun begin.

I have totally enjoyed following your wedding this week. I feel like I was there! :-) I am a DIY kinda gal, so I’ve filed away your entire, beautiful wedding journey. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, wow, wow….I think we need to put you guys in a jar and just pickle you! What great talent and vision!! Loved this whole segment…sent it to several friends who are in the wedding mode. Wow.
Hey everyone,
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. We’re super excited about our new wedding moodboard service. We’re chock full of creative ideas that we can’t wait to share, so stay tuned…
Fred, as for your suggestion about expanding to other events, we’re definitely excited to get our hands on some anniversary parties and even some fabulous birthday bashes, so feel free to spread the word. We’ve added a note on our wedding advice page that we’re happy to plan other events beyond weddings so hopefully we’ll get to flex our creative muscles in a variety of areas. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
LimeInTheCoconut, you made us laugh for like ten minutes. Literally. Thanks so much for the hysterical comment- and for spreading the word about This Young House!
xoxo,
Sherry
Thank you for all of your wonderful wedding week tips. Love them all, your wedding looks like it was perfect! We are getting married next weekend, and I can NOT believe how much work has gone into preparing for this one day!!
Thank you again!




















Sherry, these are fantastic - and at a great price too. Sometimes you just need a little something to get the ideas started, and these are just the thing.
Coming up on our fifth anniversary, I hope to never need wedding help, though! Maybe wedding mood boards could be expanded to serve the big anniversaries as well. It would be great to give folks ideas on how to blend the traditional concept of a “silver wedding anniversary” with something like the beachy celebration you show above. When Kim and I eventually hit 25 years, we’re throwing one heck of a party.
