Your wedding vision is the foundation for every decision you’ll make, so it should be personal, clear, and inspiring. At Ma Maison, we believe the best weddings begin with intention. Before booking vendors or touring venues, pause to define what your celebration should feel like.

This guide will help you align your wedding with your values, aesthetics, and guest experience using both reflection and AI tools. Yes, AI can now help you visualize your dream day with just a few prompts..

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic garden affair or a chic modern soirée, it all starts with intention.

The Four Questions to Define Your Wedding Vibe

Before you start pinning or collecting inspo, take a moment to reflect. These four questions can transform your planning process from overwhelming to exciting:

1. What do we want our wedding to feel like?
Is it intimate and soulful? Big and bold? Joyful and festive? Think emotion, not theme.

2. What are three words that describe our style?
Examples: Timeless, romantic, minimal, colorful, whimsical, vintage, elegant, playful.

3. What do we not want? This is just as important! Maybe it’s burlap. Maybe it’s the banquet hall carpet. Knowing your no’s helps protect your yeses.

4. What do we want our guests to remember most? The food? The music? The view? The emotional moment? Design around what matters.

How to Create a Pinterest or Milanote Board

Once you’ve answered the four questions, it’s time to build your wedding mood board.

• Pinterest: Create private boards for colors, dresses, florals, tablescapes, stationery, venues, etc.
  
• Milanote: If you love a more organized visual experience, Milanote lets you map out sections and arrange visuals, text, links, and even to-do lists.

Pro Tip: Don’t just pin pretty things pin aligned things. Look for patterns. Do you keep pinning soft neutrals? Long banquet tables? That’s a clue.

Use AI to Generate Your Theme + Color Palette

Yes, it’s 2026. And yes, AI can help.

Here’s how to turn your vibe into visuals:

• Use tools like Canva’s AI Moodboard Generator, ChatGPT, or Midjourney (via Pinterest prompts).
• Type: “Create a romantic wedding theme with French countryside charm, blush tones, and garden florals.”
• Voilà: You’ll get style words, color palettes, and even layout inspo that matches your vibe.
