The Inspiration Gallery

There's a sea of inspiration out there! This gallery is an area for you to store and organize a variety of images.

Do you have certain images you want to store? Think along the lines of venue photos, entire room floral design plans... The Inspiration Gallery is a great place for these! 

Managing Your Inspiration Gallery

The Inspiration Gallery can be found in the 'Resources' section of the Main Menu or the 'Resources' tab at the top of your page if you are inside an event. 

Once inside the Inspiration Gallery, you will see an 'All Inspiration' collection to get you started. Every image you upload in this gallery will live in the 'All Inspiration' gallery for you to use in your event. 

To create additional collections of your own, click the '+ Add New' button in the upper right-hand corner and select 'New Collection.' Once you do so, a box will appear for you to put information about your collection, such as a Title, Description, and Background Image, as shown below. 

When you are ready to start adding your Inspiration Images, click the '+Add New' button in the upper right-hand corner and select '+ New Inspiration.' From there, a box will appear to select an image from your computer or an image URL. Once you have done so, a new modal will pop up, allowing you to associate the Details about for image. 

Setting your image up with all the details will be helpful when you go to search for them later.
