6 Best wedding planners to keep your wedding planning organized and stress-free

Are you stressed? Too much planning to do and nowhere to do it? If you don’t yet have an Excel sheet ready with all the vendors and a folder created specifically for your RSVPs, it’s ok! There’s a great alternative, wedding planners! Maybe typing isn’t your thing. You just want to draw your dress and write down ideas spontaneously. You’re also less likely to misplace if you organise everything in one single planner. From beautiful cover designs to cascading tabs, we’ve got you completely covered. Plus if you’re a serial planner and want to control most of the wedding prep, here’s the best place to put it! 

The June Shop’s Wedding Planner - The Glam Bride

The June Shop has a formatted wedding planner, with a guide sheet and guiding pages and questions as you go through the wedding journey. For example, a blank page says ‘Bachelorette party’ where you can draw out, jot down or brainstorm ideas. When you’ve finalised the next page gives you space to finalise the location, theme and invite looks. This one’s essential for any bride who’s an artist. Especially if you need to visualise your ideas. Actually, if you want, you can probably draw out your whole wedding using the planner instead of writing anything. 

Kate Spade’s Miss to Mrs. Bridal Planner

If you’re more of a quick writer, who plans to jot down ideas as it comes to you then the Miss to Mrs. Planner is perfect. It gives you a chance to step by step plan all your details while also consulting with a professional wedding planner (if you wish). The planner is an elegant pink and cream colour with gold detailing, so it’s also a great memento to keep looking at. You’re just going to be writing names, locations, and the important stuff because the binder has everything else done for you. A perfect combination of organisation and class.

Frances Lincoln’s Wedding Planner 

Considering Frances Lincoln is a notable publisher whose books on children, art, home and more are known worldwide, you’re certainly in good hands. There are over 12 different sections within the book ranging from clothing to photography to even the honeymoon. All you have to jot down is the valuable information in the relevant areas, and your whole wedding is planned stress free. There’s also an expanding back pocket to keep the little things like card sampling and wedding photos. This wedding planner not only serves as a comprehensive guide but also as a box of mementoes you want to look at a later date. 

The Paper Company & Sugar Paper’s Classic Wedding Planner

Quirky-cute The Paper Company (a.k.a. Our planning go-to) collaborates with Los Angeles based paper company Sugar Paper, making this planner-binder THE thing you need. Basically your entire RSVP process can be jotted down, because this planner has everything from guest details to answers in one table. I kinda like the tabular format, cause it’s up to you whether you wanna write sentences, jot points, draw. They follow it quite religiously because there’s a boxed calendar again, where you can draw or write your work 3-weeks prior to the wedding. AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE PART. There is a page to draw the wedding dress. Either you draw it as your dream dress/lehenga and show it to your designer, or have them draw it for you and you make notes about alterations beside it. Literally anything you can ask for… this planner has it!

The Little Book of Wedding Checklists by Elizabeth McKellar

A great part about this book is that the author, Elizabeth McKellar created Nouveau Romantics, a wedding planning company. There are small tips and guidance throughout the book, which acts both as an organiser for wedding details and a journal to keep track of progress. I think, personally, the best part is the versatility. Whether you want a lavish wedding or a smaller one, the binder is customizable, so it’s great for whatever kind of wedding you want. There’s also a comprehensive guide and planning tracker just like the others on the list!
