Keep Tabs On your To Do List:

All brides and grooms have a different timeline for planning their wedding; some 12 months, some have 2 or 3.

The myKPW To Do list shows you everything you need to accomplish in order of importance, while directing you to helpful links throughout the website for more insight and inspiration. Better yet, you have the ability to re-arrange the order and add or remove any items that pertain only to your wedding plans. Can staying organized be any easier?

About Kate

Well, first I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Kate Parker and I am the creative director behind Prepare To Wed.

After being a wedding planner and floral and event designer for the last seven years, I decided I wanted to help more than the 25-35 clients I get to see throughout each season.     read more

Daily Dose of Inspiration:

Inspiration boards help couples see the overall design and style of a wedding.

Unfortunately, they often times show non-wedding related images and the photos don't always belong together in terms of budget and geographic location. We want to give you lots of inspiration boards that actually pertain to your wedding while still being inspirational and attainable. Each inspiration board is comprised of photos from vendors in your selected state and overall wedding budget, and each photo is tagged for your convenience. You can filter through the boards based on color, season, style, and vendor category for easy searching. So go ahead, get inspired!

Dear Diary:

We know you probably like sharing your wedding planning expertise with your friends, and family, so we want it to be really easy and fun to do.

Using the same tools as the Prepare To Wed vendors, you will have your own personal blog with access to all the content on the website. You can share an image, a real wedding, expert advice tip, a vendor you might be interested in, all with the click of a button. To make it even more fabulous, you can create your own inspiration boards using photos from vendors in your state and budget so they're inspirational AND attainable.

Budget Smarter

See what the industry standard is for every vendor you'll need and decide where you want to splurge and where you want to cut back.

Coming from a wedding planning company, Prepare To Wed shows you the industry standard breakdown of your overall wedding budget: under 25k, 25-50k, 50-80k, and 80k and up. As you book your vendors you can input their total costs and see how your budget lines up with the industry standard. Every wedding is different and let's face it, you're going to make priorities and splurge in one or more areas… Our simple bar graphs will show you how your budget is stacking up to keep your priorities and your wallet in check.

Tag, you're it!

Tagging is one of the most exciting features on PTW.

Any photo, audio or video clip throughout the site will have a green plus sign at the bottom left corner. Click on that icon and you will see the color, season, and style of the item, who took the photograph or produced the song or video clip, and any other myKPW vendors whose work can be seen. We want you to be moved by a bouquet, or a song, or a linen color so we're giving you the ability to pick out what's speaking to you through myKPW. We tag it, you grab it!
