Love your Bridesmaids {Part IV: Beware; Bridezilla and the Big Day}

Unfortunately, bridezillas are not a myth. The WE network wouldn’t have such a successful series on its hands if it were. When planning a wedding, it’s easy to get caught up and want everything to be so perfect you forget that people are not. While it’s okay to ask for certain things—such as all maids to be ready and/or show up at the bride’s house at a certain time-sometimes it can easily get out of hand.
Have realistic expectations of bridesmaids—primarily they are there to support you, not cater to you—and understand that just because it’s your wedding, that doesn’t mean you have a right to boss people around, talk down to them, or make outlandish or extravagant requests.
When all is said and done, your bridesmaids were chosen for a reason. Keep in mind that you chose these women because they are closest to you and you can count on them, your bridesmaids have been part of your life for some time and you want them to keep being in your life. As a bride, you have a bond with them, and it is one that you’d like to continue long after your wedding day is over.
Happy Planning!
