Vogue curates some of the handiest apps for everything from budgeting to photo sharing to ensure your wedding planning woes are a thing of the past
We’ve all heard of that infamous bridezilla. You know, the type of bride who’s likely to go berserk when the colour of blooms on the table’s centrepieces don’t match the floral installations at her wedding, or whose demands from her wedding planner have him playing her personal assistant. But chances are that even bridechillas (read: brides who are super easy to work with) may find themselves inching towards this category at some point during their wedding planning. It’s easy to understand why, of course, considering weddings often come with unanticipated financial considerations, complicated family dynamics, and many more unforeseen problems, and need someone to be on top of everything.
Since there is no such a thing as being too relaxed as a bride (or groom), we’ve curated a list of the best wedding planning apps that’ll make the lead-up to your big day that much easier and even segregated them according to the type of assistance they provide. All you need to do now is find them in your app store and hit download.
1) To help the bride who doesn’t know where to start: Wedding Wire
Consider this app your online wedding directory, embedded with thousands of vendors across categories like decorists, wedding planners, hair and makeup artists, venues and much more. Originally a website (which is still functional), WeddingWire.in came up with their own smartphone application to allow their users to plan their wedding from anywhere at any time. Download the app to shortlist your favourite wedding specialists under one tab and even create checklists. Available on iOS and Android
2) To create your wedding moodboards: Pinterest
While the platform doesn’t need much introduction, Pinterest’s mobile app is the perfect place to get all the wedding inspiration you need—from your bridal lehenga and makeup to table settings and everything in between. Touted as the best web-based pin board, this one lets you discover visual references for every wedding-related category and bookmark the images others have posted. Available on iOS and Android
3) To plan your wedding without a planner: WedMeGood
The WedMeGood app lets you customise your wedding checklist, zero down on vendors and even contact them through the platform. The best part is the collaborative feature that lets you invite your vendors, fiancé and even family to plan your wedding together, while checking off tasks from the list. Available on iOS and Android
4) To decide your wedding’s colour scheme: myPantone™ and Pantone Studio
Who better to create your wedding’s overall palette than the most definitive voice for colours in the world? With the myPantone™ and Pantone Studio apps, you’ll have access to over 13,000 Pantone® Colors, and will also be able to create colour palettes for inspiration that you can then share with your fiancé, family and your design and decor specialist. myPantone™ is available on iOS, and Pantone Studio works for Android phones
5) To keep a track of everything: WeddingHappy
On this clever wedding planning app, you can pretty much do anything. Want to create a wedding day countdown? Check. Want to keep a track of payments? Check. Want to review the planning progress? Check. The bonus? You can use this one offline too. Double check! Available on iOS and Android
6) To keep all your wedding planning files together: Google Drive
Create, upload, track, store and share Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs and photos on the Google Drive app for seamless and offline viewing. What’s more, anyone with a Gmail account can edit and comment on your files, and the app’s hub also links Google Calendar, so no one can lose track of time. Available on iOS and Android
7. To include guests who cannot make it to your wedding: WebWed Mobile
A revolutionary cross-platform mobile application for your wedding, WebWed Mobile let you send an invite to your guests who can’t make it to your big day. Its unique technology gives them a 360 degree view of the whole day right on their phones. Available on iOS and Android
8) To make your wedding album and share your photos: Eversnap
Sure, your wedding hashtag will help round up the pictures from your wedding day, but Instagram doesn’t let you save those precious moments on your phone. Enter Eversnap. The app (previously known as Wedding Snap) allows you to create a customised digital wedding album, and gives you a custom code that you can then share with your guests. Using this code, your friends and family can upload their photos and videos of the celebration too. Available on iOS and Android
9) To make guest lists and create digital invites: Appy Couple
Need to create paperless invitations, thank you notes and reminders? Appy Couple is the one for you. In fact, it’ll even let you manage your guest lists and RSVPs. You can share your wedding itinerary with this app, and your guests can read it, message you directly, and even share photos with other guests after the wedding. Available on iOS and Android
10) To track your wedding expenditure: Goodbudget: Budget & Finance
An easy-to-use budgeting app, this one works like a personal finance manager to help you stay on top of your wedding-related spends. You can not only create budgets and reports here, but also share them with your fiancé and family members. Available on iOS and Android
11) To curate your sangeet playlist: Spotify
While most music apps allow you to create playlists, Spotify lets you share them with your DJ, making it the perfect platform to curate the songs you want played at your sangeet. Available on iOS and Android
12) To keep you calm: Calm – Meditate, Sleep, Relax
The perfect mindfulness app for everyone, Calm includes hundreds of programs for beginners, intermediate and advanced users. And it comes embedded with guided meditation sessions across various durations (starting from three minutes) to fit with your schedule. Available on iOS and Android
