As we are in full swing of engagement season, I find it necessary to dish on some of my favorite apps that keep my brides organized when planning their special day.

I consider myself somewhat of a tech-savvy girl who keeps up on the latest ‘hot or not’ list when it comes to technology specifically catered to the wedding events industry.  I’m personally partial to the company named after the big shiny red fruit, and love all of my gadgets that assist in my productivity and time management.  The novelty of saying ‘there’s an app for that’ wore off a long time ago as there is literally an app for everything these days.

When you are planning your wedding, having access to these wonderful apps right at your finger tips not only saves you time and money, but also peace of mind.

Here are my top picks to get you on the road to being a well-organized and tech-savvy bride…
