While the groom has the stress of getting the ring, the bride is challenged to find her dream wedding dress. It is vital to find and purchase the dress in time for ordering and alterations, sometimes a year in advance. But who has time to go to different bridal boutiques to look at catalogues? Guess what?

So now the dress, hair, and all other plans are going well. What about your photographer? Photographing weddings is truly an art form. Unfortunately not everyone can afford a professional photographer for their big day, and maybe a friend or family member has stepped up and volunteered to photograph your wedding. Sure, anyone can take a photo — but creating images that capture the feeling and the passion of the moment takes planning and knowledge. The Wedding Photographer app is here to the rescue with amazing tutorials and inspirational wedding images by professional photographer Perry Trotter.

Your photographer is set, now onto the florals. For the hands-on bride or groom, Wedding Floral Basics is the perfect tool for learning how to create your own flower arrangements.

If you are creative, Wedding Floral Basics can help you save a lot of money creating your own florals.

Just a few more items and you should be all set! You’ve picked out your flowers, but perhaps you want to go all out and have more decorations than just flowers. Etsy is a great app to find unique items that will make your guests say, “Oh la la.” Whether you want an elegant, breath-taking wedding or prefer a wedding with a specific theme, Etsy will more than likely have what you are looking for.

There is one task that should not be overlooked: the seating arrangements. Family Quick Sit was designed to help seat family and friends at restaurant gatherings. It allows you to create a table at a time, then a screenshot can be taken of each table for those setting up the place cards. It is simple to use, just add family and friends, then choose the proper table shape. You can then arrange them further by dragging and dropping them. It allows you the option of adding children by age, each with a toggle to keep the child seated with the parent so that you do not accidentally omit a space. When you create each table, simply take a snapshot by pressing the home and power button at the same time. The table images can then be imported into your email or your wedding planner app. The visual image makes it very easy for those setting up your table cards.

Your guests are taken care of, and now it is time to focus on the heart of the wedding. Reciting vows is undoubtably the most beautiful moment of the ceremony and choosing the right ones to reflect your life partnership is vital. Thankfully, there is an app that can help you.

The vows have been written, but what about the reception speeches? Cameras are recording, family and friends are watching, the bride and groom eagerly await inspired words as you raise your glass.
