Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful events for a couple, that and dealing with the in-laws. While we can’t help you with the latter, here are some apps to manage your wedding preparations better. By Liu Hongzuo.
BRIDESTORY
Bridestory combines elements of Pinterest’s look-book previews with the ease of food delivery booking in a local context. If you’re shopping around for thematic wedding inspiration, the app has it all – they include wedding dress design, food catering, décor, and venues. If you really fancy a particular vendor, you can check out user reviews and vendor portfolios, before engaging their services within the app itself. If a planner is important for proper management, this app is the other half that gets the job done.
FITSTAR
There’s always room for improvement if the bride and groom wants to look absolutely gorgeous on the special day itself. We can’t give you the discipline to get your butts off the couch, but FitStar should be enough for most folks to start from zero. With enough time, the personalized training programs on the app can reduce or enhance exactly what you desire, without the gym membership or personal trainer fees. The app supports Apple Watch and Fitbit wearables, too.
KODAKIT
While Kodakit is better known for its collection of professional photographers, it also acts as the perfect avenue for fine-tuning your wedding shoot preferences. Perhaps you’d like a wedding photographer with certain artistic flair, or you have a strict budget to adhere to. Each photographer’s portfolio is easy to browse, while booking and paying them can be done entirely within the app. Prices are all upfront, and scheduling is so precise that there’s no need to worry about duration or availability.
WEDDINGHAPPY
Nothing says ‘upcoming wedding’ like the mountain of tasks – sampling the catering, previewing the dresses, and juggling its budget. WeddingHappy collates all your wedding-related duties and chores, which is great for trivial but crucial tasks. It has iOS Calendar support, a to-do list, an expenditure summary, and even an e-mail feature to nag your fiancé to follow-up on that one job he had to do. If you’re the oversharing sort, you can even post your progress onto social media directly from the app, too.
