Planning a wedding can feel totally overwhelming, right? Between picking a dress, locking in vendors, and keeping track of all the little details, it’s easy to feel like your brain might explode. If you’ve ever wondered how to plan a wedding without losing your mind, you need to hear about Pearl Planner. Honestly, it’s like having your Type A bestie there 24/7 (yes, even at 3am) to keep you organized, on track, and actually enjoying the process. Real brides and influencers who’ve tried it can’t stop raving about how much easier it makes step-by-step wedding planning—trust us, you’re going to want this in your corner.
Step One: Define Your Vision
Before you do anything else, you’ve got to figure out what kind of wedding you actually want. Pearl Planner makes it easy to clarify your aesthetic and priorities so you can stop stressing and start picturing your big day. It’s the easiest way to turn inspiration into a clear wedding plan that feels totally you.
“When it came time to decide on colors—what my bridesmaids are gonna wear, what my mom is gonna wear—I was baffled on where to start. You take a quiz, decide your colors, and then it lays it out for you based on what you’re most drawn to.” —Elise, @eliseseats_
Step Two: Create Your Personal Wedding Planning Timeline
Figuring out what to do and when to do it is one of the hardest parts of wedding planning, we know. But luckily for you, Pearl Planner makes it effortless. Just plug in your wedding date, and it automatically generates a personalized timeline, complete with milestones and tasks for your exact timeframe. From there, you can track and check off every item right in your dashboard, so you always know what’s next and never feel behind.
“I love the timeline feature so I can see everything that needs to get done.” —Cassie
Step Three: Get Dress Recs & Poll Your Bridesmaids
Picking your wedding dress (and your bridesmaids’ dresses) can feel like a never-ending scroll-a-thon through countless websites and options, but Pearl Planner makes it way easier. After you take the Vision Quiz, you’ll get personalized dress recommendations from David’s for both you and your bridal party. Plus, the bridesmaid polling feature lets you send options to your crew, have them vote, and see the results—so everyone feels involved, and the winners are easy to purchase.
Step Four: Find the Right Vendors
Finding wedding pros who get your vision could feel like searching for a needle in a haystack…but who wants that? Pearl Planner’s AI learns about you—your style, priorities, and wedding vibe—so when you reach a specific task, say “Research florists,” it gives personalized vendor recommendations based on your budget, style, location, and more. No generic checklists or random directories here! Just smart, task-specific suggestions delivered exactly when you need them.
Step Five: Build Your Registry & Wedding Website
We want building your registry and wedding website to be fun, not another stressful to-do. Pearl Planner lets you create both in one place, without ever leaving the site. Thanks to our MyRegistry.com integration, you can add all your favorite gifts (from any store!), share your registry with guests, and even keep track of what’s been purchased.
Next, build a beautiful wedding website to keep everyone in the loop, right in your Pearl Planner dashboard. We use your personalized Vision Board, wedding colors, and more to create your wedding website for you in seconds. Then, you can customize from there.
