1. The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner: This app has a solid following, and we can see why. It’s got everything from a wedding checklist, budget breakdown and countdown feature to hundreds of pretty, Pinterest-worthy images to inspire your wedding details and color palette. We especially love the collaborative tool you can use to compare notes and float ideas with your partner-to-be.
2. Wedding Countdown: A favorite amongst brides with weddings on the horizon, this app counts the days until your big day. But more than that, it’s a must-have tool for tracking important milestones in your schedule and keep the planning momentum going until the big day itself. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the days tick by!
3. WeddingHappy: Clear and simple is the design ethos behind WedHappy. With a practical to-do-list function and a collaboration tool to include your partner, this app has most of the essentials. Its one downfall is a lack of vendor information, but what it lacks in supplier details, it makes up for in clever design. It’s one to download if you’re in the mood for an idle tech browse rather than hardcore wedding planning.
