After the bliss of engagement, many couples are overwhelmed at the thought of planning a wedding. But don’t worry. We’ve gathered five wedding planning tools that will help you enjoy the process and make your guests think you had a celebrity wedding planner!

1. Pinterest – Brainstorm Wedding Ideas

There’s really no better tool than Pinterest when it comes to dreaming up the perfect wedding. When you’re first engaged (and perhaps before, ladies?), it’s fun to scroll through the thousands of beautiful images. With new wedding trends every year, you can make sure your event is unique and modern. The only drawback – it’s easy to get lost there! Let’s talk about a few ways Pinterest can help you stay organized.

• Before you start browsing, set up different boards for the many decisions you’ll need to make – like wedding dresses, color palette, centerpieces, invitations, etc. Then, you can narrow down your choices later.
• Follow wedding experts or designers that you like, so you can see wedding ideas that match your style.
• Include comments on your pins, like cost or where you could purchase the item, so you don’t have to click on the link every time.

• Add family or friends as contributors. If they see something you’d like, they can add it to your board. More ideas = more creativity!
• Share your board with your wedding planner or vendors to get quotes or confirm details.
