With this phone, iThee wed
July 23 • 2010
Is there anything you can’t do better, faster or smarter with an iPhone? While Apple’s frenzy-worthy device can’t make two people fall in love (there’s no app for that, right?), it can help you plan your wedding. We’ve rounded up a few of the most talked-about wedding apps available on iTunes, which will help you plan your happy day from start to finish.
Tiffany & Co. Engagement Ring Finder: This free app beats even the proposal to the punch. You can browse engagement rings by diamond shape, setting, metal or design and select a carat size as well as a wedding band. Making this app even more addictive is the option to save as many ring designs as your heart desires and share them through email, Facebook or Twitter (talk about a subtle hint to your intended). It can even help you determine your ring size (if you’re imagining awkwardly pressing your finger against the screen, all the app requires is that you place a ring on the phone and adjust a sizing circle to match it).

iWedding Deluxe: After your dream ring is planted firmly on your finger, check out this app to help you plan and budget your wedding. At $9.99, it’s among the App Store’s pricier offerings, but it includes customizable to-do lists, budget help and guest list organization features, including a handy RSVP status tracker. A map function locates and organizes area vendors, while a gift tracker simplifies the thank you card process. The app also includes an RSS/wedding blog reader, so you can read Love & Lobster from anywhere!
iBridalGrown: This $3.99 app simplifies the process of shopping for a much more expensive item: the dress. Designed by a bridal salon owner, iBridalGown allows you to snap a photo of a dress and record information including the style, fabric, price, designer and even directions to the store where you spotted it. You can also add personal notes, like how you felt when you tried the dress on.

Myregistry.com Universal Wishlist and Barcode Scanner: The universal registry we’ve come to love from this website is now available in a 99-cent app. Not only can you collect items from any store in one simple registry, but this app transforms your iPhone into a barcode scanner so you can add platinum candleholders and teak salad bowls to your list from anywhere. You can even comparison shop first, and send ecards to loved ones eager to peruse your registry.

Wedding Date: Once you’ve got the ring, the dress and the registry figured out, this 99-cent app counts down to your wedding day, right to the very second. Designed for “nearly-weds, newlyweds and not-so-newly weds,” this app even keeps ticking after you get married and offers helpful anniversary reminders (grooms, take note).

These are just a few of the dozens of wedding apps out there. We haven’t even mentioned the great apps offered by The Knot — including their Wedding Dress Look Book, Wedding 911 app for last-minute advice, or My Mobile Checklist, which puts the site’s customizable to-do lists in a convenient mobile format.
