Hire Shopify Developer for Wedding Planning
Senior, direct, no layers

A wedding planner's store is really three stores sharing a roof: the couple's registry, the stationery suite, and the decor and hire extras for the day itself. Each has a different buyer — guests, the couple, and the planner's own clients — and a store that merges them will show guests the planner's trade pricing or show the couple a registry item already bought. The build keeps the three journeys separate, with their own product structures and their own rules, under one storefront.

The registry is the most delicate. A registry item must disappear the moment it is bought, must allow group contributions where the couple offers them, and must never show a guest what other guests have bought beyond what the couple chooses to share. The theme builds registry items as products with contribution options and a purchased state, and the couple receives a list of gifts and contributors, not a stream of order emails to sort through after the wedding.

Stationery is the second journey, and it is a customisation workflow, not a product page. Save-the-dates, invitations, and day-of stationery need names, dates, venue details, quantities, and design choices captured as structured order data, with proofs and approval steps handled through the planner's normal stationery routine. The store captures the order and the customisation data cleanly, and the proofing happens where the planner already does it, not in a checkout comment box.

Wedding planners usually run a client-management routine for couples, a calendar for wedding dates, and supplier relationships for venues, florists, photographers, and hire. Shopify feeds those routines: registry sales become a couple-facing gift list, stationery orders become proofing jobs with customisation data attached, and hire add-ons are checked against hire stock and wedding dates. Supplier bookings themselves stay in the planner's arrangements, with the store providing the client-facing order and the planner handling the supplier side.

Date availability is again the stock that matters. A planner cannot coordinate two weddings on the same date with the same team, and a hire item cannot serve two weddings on the same weekend. Planning-package availability and hire availability are tied to the planner's calendar and stock, so a date or an item that is already committed is not offered again.

Done well, registry items are bought once, stationery orders arrive with customisation data the proofing team can use, and hire items are not promised to two weddings on the same weekend. The measure is registries with no duplicate purchases, stationery proofs that start from the order, and hire bookings the planner can fulfil.

The limit is the planner's calendar and the couple's privacy. A date with no available team is not sold, guests never see the couple's planning details, and a planning package purchase is a deposit toward an engagement, not a finished wedding bought in a basket.
