Just about as interactive and detailed as the best wedding consultant, this app allows guests to view and download an array of information and news about your wedding, including the engagement, ceremony, honeymoon and more. Upload pictures, event details maps and messages. You can also make travel arrangements, share virtual champagne toasts, e-meet the bridal party, create customized polls and much, much more.

Exclusive to iPhone, this app from The Knot allows brides to search and view hundreds of wedding dress photos. It also provides detailed listings of local salons that carry each one. Search by shape, style or price.

Weddings Song Planner: Professional

Save yourself from hours of research with this awesome app. Created by a professional wedding DJ, Weddings Song Planner: Professional provides 1,000 song suggestions you can preview on YouTube. Share songs with friends or add them to your personal list of favorites. There are all sorts of categories to choose from, including: garter toss, bouquet toss, mother/son, father/daughter, cake cutting, first dance, grand entrance, processional prelude and more.

Carmindy

Looking to save some money by skipping the professional makeup artist? The Carmindy app is a handy tool that can show you plenty of different ways to do your makeup.

WedPics

This cool, convenient app takes guest photo taking to a new level. Remember when grooms and brides deposited disposable cameras on tables and asked family and friends to snap a few candids? Thanks to the WedPics App, this is an antiquated notion. Now, guests can use their smartphones to take photos and instantly upload them to a couple's personalized album in the cloud. Not only does this app allow guests to quickly capture photos, it lets couples easily convert digital albums into actual prints. Profiled by the BBC, The New York Times and ABC news, WedPics has also gained attention from professionals who think it offers nice - if limited - benefits.

"Photo apps are good for weddings, because they give guests the chance to take and share lots of candid shots," said Arnaud Brichet, a Punta Cana wedding photographer who owns hdcphoto.com. "With that being said, they should be used as a supplemental part of a greater wedding photography plan. To capture the unique essence of your ceremony, you'll want an experienced, knowledgeable professional who has the knowhow and tools required to take flawless, professional photos.

Projects

Every busy bride and groom needs a way to stay organized. This handy app can help you keep your sanity, as you try to schedule fittings, meetings with vendors and personal DIY projects.

Tie Right

Great for groomsmen, this app clearly shows users how to tie the six most popular necktie knots: the Pratt knot, the half Windsor knot, the small knot, the Windsor knot, the four in hand knot and the bow-tie. Demonstrations are provided from two different views, so users can get a clear vision of each step.

Must Have Apps for 2014 | Mailbox | Dolphine Broswer | Pocket | Waze | Mint

Unless you already know which app, or at least what kind of an app you need, browsing the app store for any of the major platforms can easily be frustrating, simply due to the overwhelming number of potentially interesting or useful apps, that you just don`t have the time to check out. That`s why we decided to make a list of apps that stand out in their particular categories, and that just about anyone could benefit from having.

Mailbox

A great, free app for iOS, Mailbox gives you a ton of control over how your emails are arranged. Apart from allowing you to sort them any way you like, which allows you to always have your most important emails at hand, you can also easily set up reminders for when you want to reply to a particular email, which is a more than welcome feature, that is not exactly all too common in apps of this type.

Dolphine Browser HD

While the default Android`s browser is by no means substandard, and does have some nice features of its own, Dolphin is simply more flexible, and probably closer to what most people need in a mobile browser. For one, you can create tabs, which has become a must have feature for most users, but it also allows you to use a number of handy plugins, sync with Google bookmarks and set up custom gestures. The app is completely free, so you should at least try it out.

Pocket

An amazing app for people who are constantly missing out on good reads because they can`t remember where they`ve seen the article that seemed interesting. You often stumble upon great articles while you are browsing the web, but can`t always afford the time to read them immediately. You can easily save those articles for later with Pocket, and then read them at a more convenient time. The app is well integrated with different social networks, and works on all major platforms, including iOS, Android and Windows, which is to say that you can easily save the articles on your phone and then read them comfortably on the larger screen of your PC. Pocket is completely free.

Waze

One of the most transparent ways to illustrate just how useful this navigation app is would be to mention that Google decided to buy it for an amazing $1.3 billion, despite having their incredibly successful Google Maps. Basically, the app tries to provide you with the shortest route from one point to another, but it doesn't rely only on traffic reports and other conventional means for calculating the route. Instead, Waze rewards its users for any relevant information they provide regarding the current state of the roads, traffic, any possible accidents or other causes of congestion. Once you make enough reports, you can level up, which makes the app much more fun to use, and encourages users to provide as much information as they can.

Mint

This is a light weight finance management app that won`t let you make transactions or anything of the kind, but will give you a nice overview of your expenditures and profits for the current month. Naturally, since this information is what most people would consider highly sensitive, it comes with password protection that will keep prying eyes away from your data. The app is completely free, as well as very intuitive and easy to use.
