A bridezilla is something completely different, honest! I swear.
So, what happens when one of your bridesmaid's or mother's start to act up on your wedding day? She begins to make a fuss because she insists on being different from everyone else. Perhaps this is the woman who is adamant about having black smoky eyes and fiery red lips when everyone else including yourself wants to look natural and effortless. Maybe this is the person who insists on wearing her hair down and loose when everyone else is wearing their hair up. I bet this is the same person who insisted on having her own makeup and hair trial because she is special and has to have things done her own way.
How does this hurt anyone you ask? I'll tell you! You are the bride. This is your day. You are the centre of the universe for this ONE day only. Having someone make you and everyone around you feel uncomfortable isn't right. It's selfish and they should be told. They should be told before your wedding day. This one person could cause your wedding pictures to look off. Think about it. If everyone else looks natural and pretty and she looks like she's heading out to a night club - how will that photograph look? You know... the one taken mid afternoon when the sun is out and the photographer asks everyone to pose for a group photo? Everyone looks natural and beautiful and then there's "her."
Please don't get me wrong. I happen to love working on weddings where the bride and everyone else is laid back and relaxed and everyone is able to get whatever look they want and EVERYONE is having a great time. I just did one of these weddings and it was awesome! Especially for the bride! Funny thing is, those are the weddings that turn out the best because the bridesmaids and the mothers actually spend so much time making sure the bride is well taken care of and is happy. The main focus isn't on them , it's on the bride. You know...cause it's HER day! In truth, these weddings are often the most fun too because everyone is laid back and having a great time and that positive evergy shows up in photo's!
This blog is dedicated to those weddings where everyone is on the same page except for one person. So, my advice is to please deal with this situation long before your wedding day. Don't assume your makeup/hair artist can magically calm this person down and make them see the light. Assuming this person is your friend or relative, they will listen and want to make things easier for you on your big day.
Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian followers and Happy 4th of July to all my American followers!
See you all soon!
