Birthday Giveaway! A Ranjana Khan Bracelet from The Aisle New York Are you Pinterest -ing yet? If you are then you understand the great obsession, and if you’re not then you’ve probably heard mention of this new online phenomenon…
Pinterest is an image bookmarking site that allows you to “pin” photos from anywhere online and organize them (in an absolutely gorgeous way) in categories of your choosing. Similar to Facebook or Twitter, you can follow other people’s accounts to see and save the photos they’ve been pinning or you can search for the specific kinds of images you’re looking for. Needless to say Pinterest is a gold mine for finding wedding inspiration, as well as home decor, craft projects, fashion, and more! One of the best things about it, is that each image automatically links back to its source, so you can easily click through to the site where it came from to learn more; a very helpful feature!
Junebug has a Pinterest account so we can share all the beautiful imagery we have on our site in a whole new way, and we’d love for you to follow along ! We have categories that showcase lots of different wedding color palette ideas, bridal fashion, hair styles and accessories, and much of the phenomenal photography shown here on What Junebug Loves and Photobug . If you haven’t tried this whole thing out yet, we dare you to give it a shot and not fall entirely in love!
