This is my template for using Masonry 3 with Bootstrap 3. For those of you who follow this gist a lot has changed since Bootstrap 2.
/* Default tags and Bootstrap classes */
body {
font-family: 'PT Sans Caption', sans-serif;
color: #000099;
padding: 40px 0;
}
.lead { padding: 40px 0; }
/* Grid */
#posts { margin: 30px auto 0; }
.post {
margin: 0 0 50px;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.post img { padding: 0 15px; width: 100%; }
#grid.container .post img { padding: 0; }
/* Medium devices */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
#grid > #posts .post { width: 335px; }
#grid > #posts .post.cs2 { width: 100%; }
.post img { padding: 0; }
}
/* Medium devices */
@media (min-width: 992px) {
#grid > #posts .post { width: 445px; }
#grid > #posts .post.cs2 { width: 100%; }
}
/* Large devices */
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
#grid > #posts .post { width: 346px; }
#grid > #posts .post.cs2 { width: 742px; }
}
/* Large devices min-width (1200px) + a .post margin (50px) * 2 (100px) = 1300px */
/* 1300px gives me the clearance I need to keep the margins of the entire #grid (the
bleed if you will) the same width as the .post margins posts (50px). Basically I'm
being really picky about whitespace. If you don't care, no problem, just delete this.
Can this be done with Masonry options? */
@media (min-width: 1300px) {
#grid {
left: -50px;
padding-left: 50px;
padding-right: 50px;
position: relative;
}
#grid.container {
left: auto;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
}
// Load is used to ensure all images have been loaded, impossible with document
jQuery(window).load(function () {
// Takes the gutter width from the bottom margin of .post
var gutter = parseInt(jQuery('.post').css('marginBottom'));
var container = jQuery('#posts');
// Creates an instance of Masonry on #posts
container.masonry({
gutter: gutter,
itemSelector: '.post',
columnWidth: '.post'
});
// This code fires every time a user resizes the screen and only affects .post elements
// whose parent class isn't .container. Triggers resize first so nothing looks weird.
jQuery(window).bind('resize', function () {
if (!jQuery('#posts').parent().hasClass('container')) {
// Resets all widths to 'auto' to sterilize calculations
post_width = jQuery('.post').width() + gutter;
jQuery('#posts, body > #grid').css('width', 'auto');
// Calculates how many .post elements will actually fit per row. Could this code be cleaner?
posts_per_row = jQuery('#posts').innerWidth() / post_width;
floor_posts_width = (Math.floor(posts_per_row) * post_width) - gutter;
ceil_posts_width = (Math.ceil(posts_per_row) * post_width) - gutter;
posts_width = (ceil_posts_width > jQuery('#posts').innerWidth()) ? floor_posts_width : ceil_posts_width;
if (posts_width == jQuery('.post').width()) {
posts_width = '100%';
}
// Ensures that all top-level elements have equal width and stay centered
jQuery('#posts, #grid').css('width', posts_width);
jQuery('#grid').css({'margin': '0 auto'});
}
}).trigger('resize');

<h1>Bootstrap 3 + Masonry 3</h1>
<p class="lead">
This is deployed with the <code>#grid</code> div fluid (that is, it has no Bootstrap <code>.container</code> class). To make it fixed simply add the <code>.container</code> class to it. Use the media queries in <strong>style.css</strong> to change the grid's post widths and margins.
