Planning a wedding in 2026? Between choosing your dream venue, creating invitations, and planning the perfect honeymoon, there’s a lot to juggle. AI tools like ChatGPT can help with smaller, creative, and organizational tasks, saving you time, sparking inspiration, and helping you stay organized.
Here are five smart ways couples can use AI to simplify wedding planning—while still relying on real experts to bring everything to life.
1. Finding the Perfect Venue
Picking a venue can feel overwhelming, but AI can help you get started:
Compare different venue types like gardens, private estates, or resorts based on size, style, and location.
Generate a list of pros and cons for each option depending on season, accessibility, or guest count. Create pros and cons lists based on priorities like accessibility, indoor/outdoor options, or weather flexibility
Discover unique venues you may not have considered, tailored to your budget, style and vision.
By doing this research ahead of time, you can go into venue tours with a clear idea of what matters most—making discussions smoother and more productive.
At venues like Sun Valley, couples frequently bring inspiration, notes, or even AI-generated checklists to their tours. That preparation allows our team to give more tailored guidance and help couples truly envision how their day will flow in the space.
2. Designing Invitations and Stationery
Your wedding invitations set the tone for the entire celebration. Your invitations are the first glimpse guests get of your wedding style. AI can be a great creative partner in the early stages. AI can help you:
Draft creative wording for invitations, save-the-dates, and RSVP cards.
Suggest color palettes, fonts, and design elements that match your theme.
Brainstorm unique touches, like custom motifs, envelope liners, or themed inserts.
With these ideas in hand, you’ll be ready to collaborate with a designer or DIY your stationery with confidence.  These ideas give you a strong starting point—whether you’re working with a stationer, a graphic designer, or taking the DIY route.
3. Planning the Honeymoon
From exotic beaches to city escapes, AI can help you plan a honeymoon that fits your style:
Recommend destinations based on season, budget, and activities you enjoy.
Create packing lists tailored to your itinerary and destination.
Suggest excursions, restaurants, and experiences that match your trip preferences.
AI gives you a starting point so you can make decisions faster, leaving more time to enjoy the anticipation of your big day.
4. Personal Style and Beauty
Want to look your best on the big day? AI can help with early research:
Suggest makeup looks based on your skin tone, face shape, and wedding theme.
Recommend hairstyles that complement your dress neckline or veil style.
Compile inspiration from real weddings and beauty trends to spark ideas.
This makes consultations with makeup artists and hairstylists more productive, helping you find a look that’s uniquely you. At Sun Valley, we offer a Glam Suite that allows 3 different light settings on the mirrors to better accommodate every look.Â
5. Organizing Ideas and Inspiration
Keeping track of all your wedding inspiration can feel like a full-time job. AI can help:
Turn Pinterest boards into organized notes or mood boards.
Help you prioritize ideas so nothing gets lost in the planning process.
With AI handling the organization, you can focus on bringing your vision to life.
At Sun Valley, couples often arrive with inspiration already mapped out. Our role is helping translate those ideas into a seamless, realistic, and beautifully executed wedding day.
Final Thoughts
AI is an incredible tool for inspiration, organization, and confidence—but it doesn’t replace experience, intuition, or human connection.
Your venue team, planners, and vendors are the ones who:
• Anticipate real-world logistics
• Adapt to weather, timelines, and guest flow
• Ensure your wedding day feels effortless and unforgettable
When couples use AI thoughtfully—and pair it with experienced professionals like the team at Sun Valley—they get the best of both worlds: creative freedom and expert execution.
