15 best wedding planner books that'll make organising the big day easier
If it's time to start planning for your upcoming wedding, it can be hard to know where to start - not to mention feel a little daunting as most people will be looking to find a venue, suppliers, and sort out a guest list, all while sticking to a specific budget.
While you could jot ideas down on your notes app, you're likely going to need something a little more substantial and that's where a wedding planner book comes in.

Wedding planning should be fun, so to alleviate the stress, and keep the process productive, we've compiled a list of the best wedding planner books in the UK available to shop now.
