I have a friend that her wedding is in August and I am the wedding planner and bridesmaid. Its so hard to be brutally honest with her on some of her crazy Ideas. (ivory tuxes with tails? who knew she liked the 80s) the dresses are eggplant color and she wants the little girls to wear white??? how crazy!?

she is trying to put all her dreams into one event and that will cause short circuits in the brain..be gentle...get a bride color book or sheet or draw the wedding party with the color of the clothes on the wedding party with her choices and ask her what she thinks

It really doesn't sound like she is being a bridezilla, just sounds like she has some interesting ideas. Ivory tuxes with tails are not from the eighties btw. And what is wrong with little girls wearing white? White is supposed to symbolize purity - which most little girls are. Remember that it is HER wedding so her ideas are the ideas for the wedding. Just because something is not your style doesn't make it out of style or a bad idea. I had a very formal wedding and one of my bridesmaids wanted to change into jeans afterward. If that is what she wants for her wedding that is perfectly acceptable - but this wedding was mine. So respect your friends ideas, and don't try to change them. You can mention that you think the white tuxes might be out of style - but if that is what she wants, that is what she gets. You will just become a bridesmaidzilla if you try to force any of your ideas on her or if you argue with the ideas that she currently has.
Good luck.

Girls are always led to believe that their wedding will be the most important day of their life. It symbolizes the change from being on your own to being with someone else for the rest of your life, blah, blah, blah. Honestly, too many brides make such a big deal out of the wedding and get stressed out for no good reason. The wedding is not as important as the marriage. The wedding is only one day, a marriage will be a lot longer. Your friend might not appreciate you being honest with her right now. Just let her do things that she wants to do because she obviously feels she would be happier about it and it is her own tastes.

Girls put so much pressuer on themselves to make their day absolutely perfect. Sit her down and be honest, tell her she's crazy with some of her ideas. But remember, it is her wedding. Maybe she really likes the eggplant color.
You can also get the bridezillas dvd and have her watch it over and over again.

I think some women just crave attention and love to be demanding - getting married gives them the option of being both. I was calm throughout the planning of my wedding and my husband contributed to everything - in fact, his ideas were awesome. It depends on the gal. Bridezillas are tacky, and they never appear intelligent - so be glad you're not her and know that she's just being crazy.

I think because it is her wedding, whatever ideas she has should not be described as "crazy" just because someone else would do it differently. If she ask for your opinion then def tell her the truth! Yet, what she and her fiance want to do for their wedding is their thing....I'm mean it is their wedding, all she needs is help pulling it all together.

Okay, I would just try to be honest with her and sit her down and talk to her like a person however, she is also a bride and that is a stressful time in life so remember that she may be going a little crazy.

That doesn't sound like she's being a bridezilla j- she just has unusual ideas. It's her day and she should be able to plan it as she has in mind. Help her and wear the dress as if you love it!

it is her special day and she wants it to be perfect--i would sit down with her and let her know that things are getting out of hand. but it is HER wedding and even though it is not in your taste, she must like it and you need to respect her opinion.
good luck!
