Wedding Planning Apps and Websites: Great Tech Advice You May Have Missed


To get to your wedding day as tranquil and stress-free as possible, experts usually recommend three things to a bride-to-be: Rely on a wedding planner or day coordinator if you can, delegate as much work as possible to eager and loving family and friends, and pamper yourself at a spa on the eve of your wedding.

But nowadays, you can also lean heavily on technology. And, you don’t have to be a geek or especially tech-savvy to use and enjoy it.

As a self-confessed techie who likes to stay on top of the latest wedding photography trends and gadgets, I often come across terrific articles about wedding planning apps and websites that could be of great help to a bride-to-be. I thought I’d share them with you here, just in case you’ve missed them.

Of course, as a wedding photographer, I have a vested interest in doing so. For me, no one beams more beautifully than a bride. The bride who is well rested and relaxed on her wedding day is the fairest of them all, and every bride deserves to be that way on her wedding day.

So may these posts on high-tech de-stressers be as helpful to you as I hope. I will be updating them from time to time; you may want to bookmark this page if you plan to check back later.
