I now know what it feels like to not know where to start when planning your own wedding. I love weddings and most people who know me have said it’s more of an obsession. You tell me what you’re after and I’ll fire back with a list of suppliers, where, when, how and who for you. But, when it came to asking myself – I became a little overwhelmed. There were all of these ideas, all of these venues, all of these costs and being a new future bride – adrenaline is your middle name, so I just wanted to know everything at once. It’s so normal but I get it when brides say it feels stressful.

Enter Bride Business Wedding Planner. The wonderful team at Bride Business sent over their greatest invention and it was a life saving move. I felt like I had the support I needed to overcome the ‘stress’. Just before I received this slice of heaven, I looked everywhere for a wedding planner but they were too big to carry around or too thick or there were sections missing like ‘the dress’ or it wasn’t….sexy enough.

Bride Business acts as a survival guide. You open up to a checklist countdown. My mind went from head spinning, millions of thoughts every 5 minutes to clear cut goals of what I needed to achieve monthly.  The very first task it lists : Budget. ‘Ohhhh but do I have to? Budgets are a fancy way of saying we will not be going with unicorns and rainbows PERIOD. No ifs or butts get those crazy ideas OUT and practical appropriate ones in so we can afford a life post wedding. Right? I’ll admit I tried to be oblivious to that word and dodge it for as long as possible because I didn’t think I was capable of understanding how to stick to a budget with my dream wedding. That was before I saw how Bride Business set out how to budget and realised how wrong I was.

Each page has a different title to break down the areas of the wedding. That area is then broken down into what you would need to consider. For example: the ceremony. Ok so first thoughts are church, priest, flowers. I didn’t consider entertainment such as a string quartet (be prepared they do cost a bit but so worth it) but not to fear, Bride Business have everything even you can’t think of covered. Bride Business make it clear and simple. You have estimated cost, actual cost, deposit paid, balance due and paid boom boom! It’s as easy as scanning for eye candy at your cousins wedding. It’s true!

This layout makes even the most reluctant bride budget planners (ummm guilty) want to be prepared and source out the best value for money. It keeps you on top of your goals and for me, it lets me see ahead of time where I want to prioritise and put my money- did someone say custom wedding dress?

I could go on and on about the features on my newest bestie but it’s something you need to see for yourself. When you are in the shoes of a bride to be, it becomes like a Business to be all over your wedding. You need to have a place of organization, creativity and task setting. Not only does Bride Business have a lifesaving checklist, a tribe tracker to keep a list of all your suppliers and the best budget planner I’ve seen on the market for a bride, it also provides the essentials like a built in notepad. Notepads and sussing out which is the best supplier for you are the perfect match.

 

What I have found unique to this wedding planner is the Wedding Day Survival Kit. If I am not traveling, I am working as a nurse and I know first hand in the event of a crisis, all logical thinking can go out the window and adrenaline kicks in. It’s great in a hospital setting because you have a team of professionals working together to remember to do everything. But on your wedding day when you and your power team are excited and are trying to do everything plus pose for the camera – it’s easy to forget the small things like breath mints or snacks. I’m here to say Bride Business has you covered for every little and big d-e-t-a-i-l to make sure your dream day is as perfect as it can be.

Trust me ladies and gents – this wedding planner is a must!
