Oooh, I received an exciting email earlier this week! :) Amanda Wakeley, the award winning London based fashion and bridal designer, today launches the ultimate Wedding Planner Tool which will be available as both a bespoke website and a relating iPhone application…
"I am hugely excited about this project. The Wedding Planner is a
completely comprehensive, beautifully designed and utterly useful tool
that I think will make all the difference for a busy bride organising
her perfect wedding. Gone are the days of lugging around heavy files
and documents, with this tool, the bride can access all of her documents
and information easily and simply in one place from her computer or her
iPhone – or both – in an attractive, stylish online environment.
The bride can take and add
pictures to her planner, upload docs,
create appointments, share imagery and ideas with
friends/bridesmaids/family, add costs to her budget, add reminders to
payments due… the list goes on. It is the most comprehensive and
all-encompassing wedding planner on the market, endorsed and created by
one of Britain’s leading bridal designers.
The relating iPhone app will
replicate the website
exactly and can
either be used on its own or as an ‘on the move’ partner to the
website. It will replicate all of the information and documentation the
bride has gathered on the website but can handily be accessed on the
move, for example at appointments and fittings…"
Amanda has found that the demand for her personal recommendations when it comes to weddings is vast. Brides-to-be look to Amanda for advice on how to plan the perfect wedding, regarding her as a trustworthy source of knowledge and quality. The Wedding
Planner has been developed to provide this insight from Amanda whilst also creating a service that will be invaluable on their journey.
The Wedding
Planner will offer the discerning bride a comprehensive and
beautifully designed online destination (as a bespoke, sign-in style
website) and on the move (iPhone) to help her organise every element of
her wedding. She can manage her guest list, plan her bridal calendar and
keep track of her budget. There will also be a main Planner section
breaking down all the main elements for her wedding; from the dress to
the honeymoon, invites to lingerie.
The bride will be given Amanda’s personal advice and recommendations within each of these individual categories; the brand that Amanda feels is the finest offering per category. Picking her perfect dress, finding her perfect engagement and wedding rings, planning her dream honeymoon destination; the bride can use the planner to organise every element of her dream wedding. The bride can choose to use Amanda’s recommendations or add in her own categories and use her own favourite brands.
Amanda Wakeley selects her personal favourites from some of the finest
brands in the market, including Gieves & Hawkes (No.1
Savile Row) to offer the finest in Groom and Groomsmen outfits; Myla
for the perfect wedding day (and night!) lingerie set; Smythson
for those luxury, bespoke invites and wedding albums; Mason Rose
for the ultimate luxury, tailor made honeymoons and Asprey for the
best choice of beautiful fine jewellery for the bride’s engagement and
wedding rings…
"The tool has been developed with 10 years of knowledge and passion in the bridal industry, the idea was born from an understanding of what a modern bride wants. I am personally recommending my favourite bridal brands to the brides within the planner which I believe will help them in making some of those difficult decisions for the perfect big day.
My brand is all about celebrating the woman – her style, her strength, her attitude. I think this modern, stylish wedding planner does just that."
Design by Amanda Wakeley…
The Wedding Planner launches today, Friday 11 June 2010. The website will be free to use and available to any bride, not just those getting married in Amanda Wakeley dresses. The iPhone app will cost £2.99 to download.
