pinterest wedding
/ˈpɪn.tər.ɛst ˈwɛd.ɪŋ/
CommonA highly curated, aesthetically polished wedding that looks like it was designed from a mood board.
Tone depends entirely on delivery. Said admiringly, it means stunning. Said flatly, it implies the couple prioritized the aesthetic over the experience.
