Bridezilla-

a bride-to-be who focuses so much on the event that she becomes difficult and obnoxious.

That was a definition taken from the Webster’s New Millennium Dictionary of English. It’s a term that bridesmaids fear and wedding planners loathe. It’s when seemingly nice, rational and normal women turn it an angry “me, me me woman” Okay, so you might say “what’s wrong with that, it is their day” but no one likes to deal with irrational people and it’s not in a bride’s best interest to act this way as it alienates the bridesmaid, friends and wedding vendors who may very well charge you more as ‘pay back.’

So how do you avoid becoming a Bridezilla?

1. Don’t get overwhelmed with all the small details:

It’s so easy to get caught up with all the tiny details such as which paper stock to use for your wedding invitations, or which table cloth to use at the reception, but the reality is, your guests are there for you and your partner and wont really care which paper stock you use. Every time you feel yourself getting really bogged down in the detail, ask yourself this, will it matter in a year’s time? For example, will it really matter in 12 months type what kind of paper stock you have used for your invitations?

2.It’s okay to accept help:

Of the greatest sources of wedding stress is having too much to do and not enough time. this is especially true is there is a short engagement period. Delegate tasks to your bridesmaid. if you feel uneasy doing this, have a chat with your made of honour about what needs to be done and where you need help, and then she can delegate jobs amongst your bridesmaid.

3. Allow yourself enough planning time:

If you are planning an elaborate wedding which will require great planning and attention to detail, ensure that you have allowed an adequate engagement period.

4. Remember, it’s just one day:

That’s not intended to lessen the importance of your wedding, it’s a mere reminder that it’s just one day in the rest of your life.

5. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill

So your wedding day arrives, and the florist has gotten the flower arrangements all wrong, you wedding is ruined! Seriously, lighten up! Chances are your guests don’t notice and it’s not what they are going to take away from this wedding. Without sounding too corny, the memories that they are taking away with them, is the love between you and your partner, the rest, is all trivial.
