#71: You Have 200 Saved Wedding Images. Now What? With Rebecca Glayzer
In this episode of Now That I’m Engaged, How Do I Get Married?, Kevin Dennis and August Yocher sit down with Rebecca Glayzer, founder of The Mood Brief, to talk about how couples can turn endless wedding inspiration into a clear, cohesive vision for their big day.
Rebecca shares how to make sense of overflowing Pinterest boards, identify the feelings you want your wedding to reflect, and find common themes in your inspiration. She also explains why not every saved photo needs to make it into your wedding design and how to create a celebration that feels authentic to you rather than simply following trends.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by wedding inspiration and aren't sure how to bring all your ideas together, this episode will help you narrow down your vision and focus on what matters most!
Rebecca is the founder of The Mood Brief and a wedding professional with ten years of experience across florals, event coordination, merchandising, and event production. After helping hundreds of couples, she understands both the creative side of a wedding and what it takes to make that vision work in real life. Through The Mood Brief, she helps couples find the thread in their scattered inspiration and turn it into a clear, cohesive direction their vendors can actually use. Known for pairing the judgment of a creative director with the candor of a perceptive friend, Rebecca believes the most interesting wedding is not the one everyone else wants, but the one in which the couple can recognize themselves.
Highlights:
How to turn an overwhelming Pinterest board into a cohesive wedding vision
Why identifying three feelings you want for your wedding day is a great place to start
How to recognize common themes and patterns in your saved inspiration
Why not every wedding trend or inspiration photo needs to make the final cut
How your wedding venue can help guide your overall design direction
Creating a wedding aesthetic that feels authentic to you as a couple
