Okay Ladies for the very first time last week I watched an episode of Bridezilla -Wow – what an experience. Now please tell me who wants to be remembered that way ? Yes it is YOUR wedding – However – You are also the Hostess — and you are asking family and friends to come and witness one of the largest celebrations ( not only in size but in importance ) in your life.
Do you really want to alienate long life girlfriends by demanding they pay way beyond their means – wear absolutely horrible throw away dresses and watch you stamping your feet for 6 months ( or more )? If you are getting the nick name Bridezilla are you losing the real meaning of the day ? – I am not sure where the sense of entitlement has come from. First of all in the episode I happen to watch – better planning – less demanding and not so much DIY would have solved most of their issues. And on that note I know that economy is creating more and more stress on all – Brides – Grooms – Parents -Guests – and even the Wedding Professionals.
I can give you one word of advice on how to get the most for your money — Don’t be Bridezilla
All of the professionals I know – give 100% all the time — However — when we have a Bride and Groom that are absolute sweethearts to work with –we all give 120% just because they are sweethearts — So stamping your feet and acting like an entitled prima donna will get you everything you paid for but not much more – Treating others as you would like to be treated shall get you above and beyond — Remember grandmas quote — ” you get more flies with Honey “? == Never so true as in the wedding world
So happy planning – put on a smile and enjoy
