Wedding planning has always been a whirlwind of activity. In this day and day we’re used to a mobile first world where results are fast. No binders; no pens, no sheets of paper strewn across your desk, because today we use apps for everything. We asked wedding planners, bloggers and recent brides about the go-to apps they used to make wedding planning a breeze. We rounded out the top 10 best wedding planning apps and have shared them here for you.
You’ll see from the list that we have everything from sites that help you find a look, ensure you stay on budget, keep a digital notebook of everything you’re working on and apps that help you get the look you’re after for your special day. We may have missed some, but hopefully you’ll find all the wedding apps you need amongst this bunch.
