How an AI Wedding Planning SaaS Raised $150K Pre-Seed in 1 Month

The Vision

Solving Real Wedding Planning Challenges Text: Alvina Putri reached out to the no-code studio WeMakeMVP, where I joined the team as the lead UI/UX designer to bring her product—Nupt.AI, an innovative AI wedding planning SaaS—to life. Having recently planned her own wedding, Alvina deeply understood the nuances, stress, and specific challenges of the wedding planning process.

My goal was to translate her firsthand domain expertise into a flawless digital experience. To ensure the product would truly resonate with users and stand out in a competitive market, we relied on targeted UX research to guide our initial product concepts.

Implementation: Delivering a Custom UI with a Scalable Design System

At WeMakeMVP, our team needed to optimize the workflow to speed up development without sacrificing usability. We decided to leverage a robust, ready-to-go design system called Canvas. Using its prebuilt components as a solid foundation, I designed a bespoke custom UI tailored exactly to the needs of the platform. This approach perfectly bridged the gap between high-quality UX design and rapid Bubble no-code development.

In just one month, we successfully delivered the complete MVP—encompassing UX design, Bubble implementation, and rigorous testing. The core features included a personalized onboarding flow, an interactive checklist, a dynamic budget tracker, a moodboard creator, a vendor management list, and a smart note-taking system.

The Results

The MVP was built with a highly efficient budget of around $10K. The impact was immediate: within the first month of launch, the platform acquired 500 new active users. Armed with a functional, beautifully designed product and solid early traction, Alvina Putri successfully raised $150K in pre-seed funding for the next phase of Nupt.AI's growth.

This case study proves that investing in professional UX design and a well-structured design system early on is critical for turning a great idea into a fundable, user-ready product.
