If you’ve been searching for the best way to build your wedding planning timeline, you’re probably already feeling the weight of 300+ to-dos from booking your venue to choosing your dress to managing guest lists. Traditional checklists can help, but they often feel overwhelming, generic, and hard to keep updated. That’s where AI changes everything (in a good way).

Meet Pearl Planner: the first-of-its-kind, AI-powered wedding planning tool from David’s. It’s your personalized planning Type-A bestie, except she comes with a dashboard that automatically adapts to your exact wedding date, style, and budget. Instead of a one-size-fits-all checklist (in 2025? No thanks!), Pearl Planner creates a smart, dynamic timeline that actually thinks one step ahead, so you can stress less and celebrate more.

Why a Wedding Planning Timeline Matters

The right wedding planning timeline helps you stay organized, keeps you on track so you don’t miss critical deadlines, and spreads out tasks so nothing starts piling up at the last minute. But here’s the problem: most wedding planning templates online don’t know you.

They don’t know if you’re planning a backyard bash in six months or a black-tie ballroom wedding in eighteen. They don’t know your venue availability, your preferred vendors, or your unique vision. That’s why more and more couples are turning to AI-powered tools (spoiler: Pearl Planner) to do the heavy lifting.

Why Pearl Planner, Why Now?

Every year in the U.S., roughly 2 million weddings take place. And all those people need to plan their big day! But before now, the experience is fragmented. They have their checklists in one place, inspiration in another, and vendors scattered everywhere.

That’s why David’s Bridal, AKA the wedding retailer trusted by 90% of U.S. brides for over 75 years, built Pearl Planner. 

• AI-powered & personalized: Tell Pearl Planner your wedding date, and it builds a timeline that flexes to your exact schedule.
• More than a checklist: With built-in Vision Boards, wedding websites, vendor recs, and bridesmaid polling pools, it’s your all-in-one hub.
• Seamlessly integrated: Every decision you make earns rewards with Diamond Loyalty, turning planning into perks (hello, free honeymoon).
