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. Unlike their digital counterparts, a wedding planning book provides a physical space where you can write down your lists, inspiration, and ideas.

Better yet, a wedding organiser book will make a lovely memento long after the wedding day which you'll be grateful for if you're in the mood to be nostalgic. 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.
