Shopping for a wedding gown can be more work than you may have realized.

That’s where WedReality comes in! It’s an app where you upload a photo of yourself and can try on over 300 unique dress combinations virtually. So instead of looking at strangers with a totally different body shape than you, take a look at what your dream dress will actually look like on you. After finding the perfect style, walk into a salon knowing exactly what you want.

Zola has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to wedding registries. It allows couples to integrate products from different stores into one big registry, so you and your guests can see everything all in one place.
