NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Zola, the most trusted authority in the wedding planning industry, announced the launch of Split the Decisions, an AI tool to help couples divide the decisions in wedding planning equally. Invisible labor affects many relationships, and wedding planning can bring those imbalances to light in a major way. Decision fatigue also plays a role when one partner is taking on more than the other, and it can cause friction. By Zola’s estimates, couples make more than 500 decisions over the course of planning a wedding, and the “mental load” often falls on one person. In fact, the number one thing that couples told Zola they want to change about wedding planning in its annual First Look Report is the assumption that one person is going to do everything. “What makes this exciting and powerful is not the technology, it’s the reason why we did it in the first place

Part of the magic of the bridal business is that companies have a significant amount of information about what brides will be buying during the engagement and newlywed period. As I learned when leading the bridal division for Nordstrom a decade ago, there are showers, engagement parties, bachelorette parties, gown-shopping excursions, occasions created around dress fittings, bridal parties and parents to be dressed, flower girls and ring bearers (pets included) to be outfitted, attendant gifts to select, trips to take (and dress for), a home to set up or to augment, and more.One reason that brands operating in the bridal business are known to embark on frequent partnerships is that any given brand addressing one part of the wedding journey knows there are complementary brands addressing other parts of it. Indeed, in announcing David’s Bridal’s new partnership with Ashley Furniture yesterday, Chief Marketing and IT Officer Kelly Cook told me her vision for David’s is to serve the bride “way beyond the dress… with all kinds of innovation beyond the actual wedding event” and explained that furniture remains high on the list of what couples want to buy as they’re getting married. The new partnership is the latest advancement for David’s as it continues to grow beyond the traditional bridal space, extending its reach by delivering solutions for the entire special event space and beyond. Along similar lines, Zola, “the home of all things wedding,” began as a digital gift registry store but now facilitates invitation design and offers a marketplace of wedding vendors ranging from venues to music to photography to beauty. This is all in a self-described effort to make wedding planning easy.In bridal, the benefits for partners can center on cross-marketing arrangements, which was characteristic of much of the awareness-building work my own team once did
