You start your wedding planning with an over-excited amount of Pinterest boards - then it quickly becomes clear that while wedding planning can be super enjoyable, it also requires considerably more energy than expected. It’s overwhelming to say the least!

We’re sharing some hot tips for keeping your wedding planning under control - no matter what kind of planner you are!

THE WEDDING PLANNER BY AN ORGANISED LIFE

Keep all your plans in one place - this handy dandy wedding planner is beautifully laid out, with sections to guide you through the process. Plan, organise, budget, dream and reflect. You can even add a monogram to the cover. Lovely!

HEADSPACE

While not specifically a wedding planning app - Headspace is perfect for helping you keep calm and collected throughout the planning process. Take a moment to breathe, sleep more soundly, learn how to meditate and find some time just for you.

WRITE TO ME PLANNER

Another lovely journal for planning out your day is the Write To Me book - be guided with their prompts and fill it with all your dreams for the day! They also do a lovely Well Wishes guest book with the same luxurious look.

Okay - we’re sure you’ve already delved into the wonderful world of Pinterest - but if you haven’t yet, it’s a fantastic virtual space for organising your wedding ideas into different categories. Pinterest is like a real-life pin-board or scrapbook for your ideas, and is perfect for visual planners. Set up separate boards for the dress, the florals, the styling, the cocktail recipes… there’s no limit.

MAKE LISTS

Indulge your inner organisational goddess with some checklists and to do lists! There are so many downloadable options online - take a gander or make your own. And remember - it’s okay to delegate! Get your bride tribe/friends/family to help tick things off your lists and get the ball rolling. Write things down, pop things into your calendar, and make things easier to track as you go.

TALK TO A PRO

Definitely the most stress-relieving option of all - talk to someone who knows what they’re doing! We are lucky to have so many wise wedding planners and experts who can help you out - check them out over on the directory.
