'BRIDES' App for iPhone

I saw a tweet from 'BRIDES' this morning, advertising their new app for wedding ideas and planning and thought I must try it.

Loading Screen

It is made in association with 'Turquoise', a holiday company, and has many features, including:

• 'Turquoise' Honeymoon Finder
• Dress Finder
• Venue Finder
• Fashion Inspiration
• Planning Inspiration
• Magazine Preview
• 'Turquoise' Honeymoon Quiz
• My Wedding, which includes a Budget Planner and a Date Countdown
• Beauty Tips

Menu screen with some features still downloading for the first time

I must say the Budget Planner is nice and handy to have in your pocket, meaning you know where you are up to on the move, should you forget your trusty planning notepad.  It allows you to input your overall budget, prices for individual items such as venue, photographer and transport and lets you know as you go along if you are under or over budget and by how much!

Budget Planner

Date Countdown is also a novel little feature, which gives you step by step instructions on what needs to be arranged from 12 months before, until 1 month before the big day.

Date Countdown with To Do list

Individual items from the other features such as, Dress Finder and Venue Finder can be saved in the My Wedding category, making your favourites quick and easy to find later on.

Venue Finder which can be set to different regions of the UK and International

One tip with this app is: once its is downloaded from the app store, it needs it own little download when you open it for the first time, I tried clicking on some features and thought they weren't working until I realised they were loading, once this is complete, it all works instantly there after.

In conclusion, I think this is a great little pocket planner for all brides to be, but I still wouldnt be without my notepad and mood boards!!
