Wedding Girl

Hey guys! Today I'll be going to Fernwood Gardens to inquire about their wedding packages. I've considered this venue since it's situated at the heart of Quezon City and they already have a chapel in their compound, the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel. This way, our guests won't have a hard time transferring from one venue to another. I'm pretty much excited to see the place so expect my full review with loads of pictures in the next days.

So this post is actually about simple things that can make your life a bit easier especially when you decide to plan your own wedding. Of course you can always opt to get the services of a wedding coordinator but if you can do it by yourself then you may need certain tools to guide you along the way.

Since we're now living in a world of cutting-edge technology, it's inevitable to find your every need with just a click of a button or swipe of a finger. If you're into gadgets and you happen to own a tablet or smart phone, this post perfectly fits you.

I've searched the App Store for anything bride or wedding related and my top choice among the array of free applications has got to be "Wedding Girl". It's a free iPhone application but you can also download it on your iPad. 

The main page shows you a countdown to your wedding day which I think is the most important reminder in preparing for your wedding. On the bottom, you will see several tabs labelled Home, Plan, Shop and Settings. You may want to go to Settings first to key in your wedding date and activate the countdown on your main page. Clicking Home will get you back to the main page. 

Now here's the fun part, clicking Plan will reveal a page of different categories. The one which I think is most helpful is the Checklist. It features a list of to-do's as you go through with your planning.

You can customize each pointer and key in corresponding remarks. I love the idea of knowing what to accomplish at certain periods of my preparation like what to do a year, six months, two months, one month, one week and one day before my wedding day. 

The guest list is my next favorite category because it allows you to keep track of your guests with ease. It gives you the option to track the number of guests attending the ceremony and reception separately. I love the way you can label each guest with their respective roles and added options like their choice of food which I think isn't too important for Pinoy weddings since we always make sure to include pork, beef, chicken, fish and veggie in the menu. Still, that might come in handy especially when deciding what dishes to include in your menu.

The Notes tab is another useful element which gives you a blank pad to key in other reminders or just about anything you may want to take note of like questions you want to ask your suppliers.

Another useful feature is the Budget tab which lets you compare your alloted budget versus your actual expenses. I think this is very handy in monitoring your paid and unpaid transactions. Although you have to make do with the dollar currency since this application is meant for use in Australia.

The Seating Plan would've been of great help but I can't seem to add more than one table. The Favourites tab is location sensitive more so the Shop tab and only shows suppliers in Australia so that's another unaccessible feature.


Despite several restrictions, the Wedding Girl application is still useful to have around. This is why I still recommend it to those who are praparing for a wedding. Whether you have a wedding planner or not, Wedding Girl can serve as an effective guide to help you through all the hassles of the preparation.


So that's it, I hope you find this entry helpful. Thank you for reading and have a blissful weekend!
