Planning a wedding always seems like a daunting, stressful task, with so many things to think about and choose. Since wedding season is almost at its peak this month and will last through October, we’ve decided to make the special event’s mission totally possible and easier for you: Here’s our Top 10 list of the absolute best wedding resources out there online. This hot list will show you where to get the best gift registry, where to find gorgeous invitations, and how to make your wedding look like a million bucks without exceeding your budget.

1. Project Wedding – Think of this site as wedding day central. It’s a comprehensive source on all things wedding and the site is a perfect first stop in your big day’s planning path. Aside from the obvious bride and bridesmaid dress designs and vendors, Project Wedding shares photos and inspirations from real weddings. You will also find lots of decor, wedding cake and beauty ideas on this site in addition to practical tools such as check lists, wedding websites and more.

2. The Knot – Perhaps the most familiar of the bunch, The Knot offers solid help on every possible wedding aspect you can think of. The colossal variety of topics might confuse you at first, but after a deep breath you’ll see The Knot truly provides a wealth of information and ideas. To start off, check out the ‘planning basics’ menu on the left (offering ideas and tips on wedding destinations, vendors, vows, songs and invitations, etc.). Once you’re ready for more hardcore planning, make use of The Knot’s gift registry page to pick your store (an adventure in and of itself).

3. My Wedding – Although this website might seem as a bit less comprehensive than the two above, its forte -free wedding sites- outweighs any content downsides it may have. Wedding sites have become huge these past few years, and for a good reason. In many cases the bride and groom’s family is scattered across the country, and although phone calls might do for keeping everyone updated, there’s nothing like a designated Web space everyone can visit anywhere with ease.

My Wedding offers a huge variety of website options neatly categorized by color and theme (green, outdoors, traditional weddings and more). If you’re thinking about creating a wedding website for your special event, My Wedding is your spot. Here’s the gorgeous example of Samira and Maxwell’s wedding site, created by My Wedding.

4. Martha Stewart Weddings – For those of you seeking an all-American, traditional wedding style, Martha Stewart’s designated online spot for weddings is a perfect resource to start with. Get all the event’s basics down and stay on top with all your check and to-do lists with Marth. One cute post I loved reading here is Good Things for Spring Weddings – great inspirations!

5. Macy’s Gift Registry – Although there aren’t any right or wrong gift registry choices, I think Macy’s is the best one in terms of both variety of products and the system’s ease of use when registering and adding gifts. Signing up to Macy’s registry service is super easy and quick, and you can start adding gifts in no time. Wedding guests checking in to buy will also find a swift and no-brainer process leading straight to the couple’s list. In short, I can only say that on my wedding day Macy’s will be my gift registry provider of choice.

6. Style Me Pretty – There’s nothing like peeping over at other people’s weddings pictures to see what works, what doesn’t and find new ideas. Style Me Pretty’s Real Weddings section is packed with tested strategies, approaches and features worth checking out before planning The Day. Browse the section’s various wedding styles, including Budget Beautiful, Contemporary, Do-It-Yourself Inspired and Vintage Chic, among others.  You should also explore Style Me Pretty’s vendors’ guide, DIY projects and wedding inspirations.

7. Once Wed – Dedicated to the to-be-wed folks who seek a non-traditional wedding, Once Wed is a brilliant resource for planning unconventional weddings that are “artistically innovative or effortlessly beautiful.” Created by the gorgeous Emily Newman, OnceWed is one of the only places online where you can find beautiful pre-owned wedding dresses and get lots of inspiring and creative ideas for your big day. Speaking of dresses, here’s one that caught my eye.

8. Wedding Invite Love – This amazing website brings together soon to be wed couples with graphic designers and studios all over the country, to make successful and beautiful invitations that suit couples’ needs and desires. Search for your favorite invitations vendor via a number of parameters such as price, nearest city location or style and a world of fabulous design will open up to you. Here’s an example of a beautiful design that’s well within the budget of any wedding, by The Letter Office in NY:

9. Wedzu – A site for the budget brides and grooms, Wedzu offers a saner approach to wedding planning, and offers a wealth of cool products for the indie-at-heart audience. From affordable yet absolutely fabulous wedding dresses to reception decorations and cute cuff links, Wedzu is all about making your wedding Etsy style (handmade, that is) while maintaining the event’s haute-couture look and feel.

10. Wedding MiniFaves page on All My Faves – This MiniFaves page dedicated to wedding planning and celebration is an abundant resource for all the big day’s different aspects. Find all the great websites listed above and many others in one place to make your wedding day the event you always wanted. Congratulations to all the newly weds and the soon-to-be married couples!

iMeet – Promising your very own personal meeting room online, iMeet is here to make video conference calls as enjoyable and effective as they can possibly be. Aside from worldwide accessibility and multiple device compatibility, iMeet allows for conference video meetings made up of up to 15 people, and whenever someone speaks, you will know exactly who it is as their cube will start to glow.

Although this is a paid service (offering free trial), it’s free for the people invited to the meeting. Other perks iMeet offers is social media stuff such as bio and pics, chat, privacy options, background customization and other sweet ‘make it my own’ features. iMeet has gained lots of attention from the tech community, apparently for a god reason.

So, is it worth checking out? Oh yeah. Looks amazing, offers a rewarding bundle of perks and features and it does the job.

Jog.fm – If you don’t listen to music when you work out, it’s a shame because you’re missing out on lots of physical benefits such as better mood, better lungs and a more enjoyable workout, among other sweet positive side-effects. Jog.fm is here to make the marriage of workout and music even happier, and offers ready-made playlists for joggers, cyclists and walkers.

As an avid cyclist, I immediately took interest in Jog.fm’s playlists for riders (see screenshot below), and I must admit, it’s impressive. Available playlists can be bought (for download) or listened to online. In addition, you can always create your own playlist, but I don’t see the added value of creating a new list on an external site if you already have it on your iPhone or MP3 player. Either way, Jog.fm offers a great service and I truly believe music and workouts are a match made in heaven. I only wish they had a mobile app available.

Videolicious – This free app will make you a pro film creator, thanks to the app’s genius technology and fabulous interface. Videolicious takes your chosen videos, pics, music and voice narration you took with your iPhone, and creates “a finished video, edited and layered together like a professional video editor- automatically!”

How does Videolicious work? See the funky video below which explains it all. This app is free and available on the App Store. Enjoy!

Genius Scan – This cool iPhone app offers quick and easy creation and sharing of scanned documents using only your iPhone. Simply take a picture with your iPhone or pick one from your library (pics can be of a board, a note on the table and many other forms), crop it and straighten it, and you’re good to go. Using Wi-Fi internet connection allows you to copy scanned documents to your computer. Genius Scan offers a most productive tool you will appreciate having on your iPhone. Available on the App Store.

Photosynth – This cool photography tool by Microsoft invites you to create amazing panoramic, 3D photos using the digital camera you’re already using to take pics (mobile phone cameras work just as well). Although a program download is required, as is creating a Photosynth account, this powerful set of tools is so rewarding you won’t believe it’s free. In addition, your created 3D pics can be added to Bing maps, shared on facebook and even added to your website or blog.

The idea of creating 3D pictures with your mobile phone is phenomenal, although one can’t avoid the evident similarity between Photosynth and Google’s street view technology. Either way, I’m curious to know what effect will this concept have on the way we all take pictures in the future. Either way, here’s the full explanation on how to create mobile panoramas.

Now that we’re done with all the (justified) geeky raves, here’s an actual example.

IdeasWatch – For those of you who have experienced a moment of epiphany about a piece of technology, device or concept that is in need but not yet available, you will appreciate IdeasWatch. It’s the place for visionaries everywhere to pitch their startup idea, and where creative professionals can discuss these ideas with entrepreneurs and see if the idea can become a reality. Here’s a video explaining what IdeasWatch is about:

So what kind of innovative ideas will you find on IdeasWatch? Virtually everything, from every field. To start you can browse ideas (each can be voted for by Likes) or go straight to the most liked ideas. Here’s a popular one I found:

Where To Get It – Ever seen a photo of a pair of shoes you just fell in love with, or saw someone on the street wearing a to-die-for dress you craved for yourself? Thanks to Where To Get It, now there’s an easy way to find all your gotta-have-it items.

Based a community of ‘fashion advisers’ who know where all the cool shops are, Where To Get It is a globally connected network of style assistants that guides you to the places where you can buy what you want.

Here’s how one Where To Get It member found Kate’s famous dress (click the image to see all the details):

DailyFeats – A special website with an innovative approach to goal realization, DailyFeats is here to “guide you in doing small actions — or “feats” — that reflect your values and your life’s goals. Along the way, you’ll earn points, meet a helpful community, and save money on real-life expenses, motivating you to go do good — every day.”

The spectrum of the ‘Feats’ you can aim for is huge. Choose a goal related to your health, your sense of responsibility, your family, your knowledge and many other factors of your life. Once a goal category has been chosen, you are asked to pick what you’ve done to reach that goal, and depending on your answer, you earn points for the effort. Sign in via Facebook or register to receive the much needed support for reaching successful Feats, and to help others do the same. Want some inspiration? Check out the epic feats page. Here’s a recent one on that list:

Sleep Cycle – Imagine waking up every morning refreshed, full of energy and ready to take on the day. Sounds like vacation time, doesn’t it? Well, the Sleep Cycle alarm clock app offers “a bio-alarm clock that analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you when you are in the lightest sleep phase.” No more rude awakening from deep sleep to the sound of that annoying alarm. The app will make sure you wake up when your body is ready at the lightest sleeping cycle, and it will ensure you have enough time to prepare for and get to work when you need to.

The Sleep Cycle tracks your movement during your sleep and that’s how it identifies your deep and light sleep cycles. Although it requires an initial movement calibration, using Sleep Cycle will improve your mornings. Monday won’t be so dreadful again, at least in terms of waking up…

Join.me – In the golden age of online sharing, now computer screens are added into the mix, and for free. Join.me lets you share your screen with others, and see other people’s screens. No registration is required, which is a huge plus in my book. Instant online meetings are a breeze, as the Join.me team explains: “just click share to download and run the app and share your screen, instantly. No need for a plane, train, or sandwich platter. Just gather at join.me.”

Want more goodies? Join.me offers free mobile viewers for iPhone, iPad and Android, and the screen sharing system comes with free chat and file sharing as a default. This is a most valuable service to use, whether for professional or personal reasons – it’s simply a must!

QVIVO – Hoping to revolutionize the way we consume and share media content, QVIVO offers an impressive bundle of user actions and experiences, all focused on your favorite music, videos, films, and social network friends. Once installed, QVIVO will automatically create a mega library with cover art, trailers, actors, artists and more from the files on your computer. QVIVO has taken care of the format issue to allow you to play all files, regardless of where you purchased or imported them from.

All the great perks I’ve mentioned above are nice and dandy, but where QVIVO really shines is in the social sphere. When your friends are also connected and using this app, you can see what they’re watching at that very instant, see if they like it, post your own status, comment on and interact with them.
