Helpful Hints

Because Pinterest has become a popular tool for brides in planning their wedding we wanted to share some other helpful websites and apps that can aid anyone in planning a big event.

WeddingWire.com is simply a MUST for all brides and grooms to be.  Not only do they offer ideas and reviews of vendors in your area but they have so many helpful gadgets that will make the planning process a lot more simple and result in a gorgeous ending.  If you are planning a wedding and do not have a WeddingWire account you definitely have to get one as soon as possible.  They have a budget calculator to help you stay on track, a seating chart app and checklist reminders, among so many other options. Also, if you are addicted to your iPhone, most of their helpful apps you are able to access from your phone; SO amazing!

If you are having trouble picking colors for your wedding look no further than The Perfect Palette.  It offers all the different possible color combinations you could want to test out and gorgeous photo examples of each.  This is such a great website because color choices is the starting point for any decor elements of a wedding and everyone wants to have the best and freshest colors as possible.

 For the bride that likes to have everything in one organized and concise place we found such a great site!  My Wedding Workbook works with you and your computer to make the wedding of your dreams become a reality.  It has countless apps that will help you stay organized and even features a wedding website section that helps keep your site looking amazing but also aid you in an online RSVP system.  Lastly, there are style board options to help you with your vision and overall design of the event!

If you want to do some exploration of the crazy world of planning a wedding more on your own then we found a site that is perfect!  Top Wedding Sites divides all the best wedding related websites into several different categories, so anything you might need can be accessed from this one site.  They have everything you could possibly want from the best bridal shows, to how to plan an amazing bachelorette party and even advice on wedding gown preservation.  This is definitely a site that should be checked out because every simple detail and question will be answered in a matter of moments!

Be sure to check out your smart phone's app store for tools you can use on the go.  We loved the "To Do Before I Do" which is a personalized wedding countdown with all the tasks that need to be done on the days leading up to your wedding.  Not only is counting down a fun activity to do beforehand, but the customized "to do" lists on each day will help so much to keep you organized!

Hope these help!  Comment below if you have already been through the planning process and know of websites that saved the day!
