As girls through out our lives, we've heard that our wedding day is our special day. However make no mistake, your special day does not give you license to be a bridezilla.
Have you ever experienced an out of control bride? Remember how her actions made you feel? You certainly do not want to be the bride that makes everyone loath you.
Prepare Yourself: React Don't Overact
As you go through the steps to prepare for and orchestrate your wedding, you'll become frustrated and overwhelmed. To combat those feelings, take a few breaths and think about what your going to say before you say it. This will save you from a multitude of fights, angry feelings and continued frustrations. This should be a joyous time to spend with friends and family, not one that destroys friendships and alienates family members.
Handling Conflicts & Problems
There will be issues and problems with suppliers during the wedding planning process. For example, you may have a conflict with your caterer. The proper way to handle this a conflict is to be direct and calmly tell them what you want, expect or how to fix the problem. What is improper and very bridezillaish is to call them names, raise your voice or curse at them. Whether a caterer, a florist, a photographer or other service or shop owner, they deserve respect and will usually go above and beyond if given this respect.
Of course you have the right to get what you ask for and agreed to when you are planning your wedding. If in the case of a supplier they can't provide what your asking for, you can choose to work with them or to go else where. You do not have the right to belittle, humiliate or assert unreasonable demands. Although it is your special day, sometimes you may not get everything you want.
