Judging from all the pictures of people in white dresses and tuxedos on my Facebook news feed every week, wedding season is in full swing.

As many new brides will tell you, planning a wedding isn't cheap or easy. But there are a few apps that can offer a little more sanity for brides - and grooms - to be.

Brides magazine, which is published by Conde Nast and has been the wedding bible since 1934, last week published the latest version of its own iPhone app, called Brides Wedding Genius.

Probably because the free app is created by a magazine, the layout of the app appears to be fairly simple and easy on the eye, with beautiful photos and illustrations.

It contains a "guides" section, with tips and ideas for gowns, bridesmaids' dresses, jewelry and more, and each tip can be stored in an "inspirations" folder, just as if you had a three-ring binder with wedding ideas. The app also offers local shops and resources that can be used to find jewelry or complete various tasks.

It also offers techniques for saving and organizing and planning the wedding, including how to delegate tasks to others. Many of the best features, such as the ability to sync with an account on the Brides website or to send tasks to your bridesmaids, require an upgraded version of the app, which costs $2.99.

There are detailed tips to make the day go easier. According to an article by The New York Times, the app suggests that wedding preparations include scuffing the soles of shoes with sandpaper or choosing flowers that won't wilt easily.

No promise that the app will keep a wife-to-be from becoming a bridezilla, but this app appears to genuinely offer help for those planning a wedding.
