About
A small site for doing the wedding math
Bow Ties & Bliss makes free tools for planning an affordable wedding: calculators, spreadsheets and printables, plus budget DIY guides that work out what things cost and how many you need. Everything is free to use, and nothing asks for your email address.
Bow Ties & Bliss is an independent site run by Amy D. Wilson.
What we do
- Calculators for the numbers in wedding planning: fabric, flowers, quantities and cost per table.
- Templates and printables you can download and use for your own wedding.
- Guides that show the arithmetic behind a budget, with a source and a date for every price.
What we don't do
- We're not wedding planners, and our estimates are not quotes. Check prices with your own vendors.
- We don't publish sponsored posts or paid placements without labelling them.
- We don't feature real weddings, couples or photographers' work.
A note on the name: bowtiesandbliss.com was home to a different wedding blog between 2010 and 2014, written by other people. That blog closed years ago. We relaunched the domain in 2026 as a new, independent site with new content. We're not affiliated with the original authors or with the couples and photographers featured there.
How we check numbers and decide what to publish is described on How We Work. Found a mistake or have a question about a tool? Get in touch.
