For overall inspiration — Pinterest (Free)

How could we not start with one of the most used, best wedding planning tools? Of course, it’s Pinterest. If you’re frantically Googling “Plan your wedding app” and desperately looking for inspo and a way to make your vision come to life, Pinterest is not only a great place to start, but also a way to create moodboards for referencing back throughout your planning process. Since you can organise multiple different boards in all sorts of categories that you create and personalise with your vision, it’s a custom wedding tool that will help you remember all those little details you want to draw inspiration from throughout your planning.
