Is it possible to add Pinterest button automatically on the blog images? For example on this blog page www.maharaniweddings.com/ when you mouse over an image Pinterest button comes up automatically.

Hi, 

I would suggest to alter the specific template used to list or show the blogpost and integrate a button there.
You could use a related image field for the blogpost to hold the image and and retrieve it in the template to make the button.
For example:

Please have a look at 
https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/widgets/pin-it/
for examples.

We are already doing what you explained but I want to show the pinterest icon for pinning when hovering a blog image just like it shows in the example. Wordpress got several plugins to achieve this.

Hi,

Simply adding

<script async defer data-pin-hover="true" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>

as explained at https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/widget-builder/?buttonType=imageHover

shows the hover button over the image.

Please check the screenshot for reference: http://screencast.com/t/g5RkEjA8
