THE CREATOR OF GRACE IN SIMPLICITY

Hello friend! I’m Jennifer and I created Grace in Simplicity to help busy, Type-A brides plan their dream weddings without hiring a wedding planner.

When I got engaged, I was juggling a full-time job, moving into a new home, and still trying to plan an elegant, personal, stress-free wedding. The problem? Every tool I found was either overwhelming, outdated, or designed for brides with unlimited time and money.

That’s when I realized:
Brides like us needed digital wedding planning tools that actually work!

I started building my own system — from wedding checklists and budget trackers to vendor templates and guest list tools. What began as a DIY solution quickly turned into a full digital wedding planner system designed to save time, prevent costly mistakes, and help brides stay organized every step of the way.

Through this blog, I share:

  • Step-by-step wedding planning guides
  • Free planning checklists and spreadsheets
  • Tips for planning your wedding while working full time
  • Tools to plan your wedding without a planner

I believe you deserve to feel in control, calm, and confident — whether you’re planning a $5K celebration or a luxury event on your own terms.

If you’re looking for stress-free wedding planning tips, digital tools, and checklists that actually help…
