How A Bride Becomes Bridezilla

Saturday, June 9th, 2012
Becoming Bridezilla

A bride becomes Bridezilla over time until, one day, she’s so comfortable in her new role she forgets the sweet girlfriend she used to be.

Bridezillas on WeTV makes some brides look not so nice (of course, that’s a sugar-coated statement). Decide what type of bride you want to be during the wedding planning process, and learn to let things go. Why?

Because a bride taking on the persona of giant sea monster named Godzilla is a frightening thought. And you’ll scare those closest to you with the “it’s all about me” attitude that surfaced once the engagement ring was on.

5 tips to avoid becoming Bridezilla:

  • Decide to plan a stress-free wedding.
  • Forgive and forget.
  • Always have back-up options.
  • Communicate calmly and honestly.
  • Remember, two of you are getting married.

For some brides-to-be, this is easier said than done. If you’re a Type A personality or you simply want things done your way – now, then the road to success might be a little rocky. But it can be done.

Reflect on why you said “yes” to your honey in the first place. Write down your feelings in a journal rather than hash out on others. Exercise: Try yoga, long walks or a gym class to get your mind off the wedding. Vent to a bridesmaid or friend, but don’t overwhelm them.

More important than the planning is the ceremony itself. The vows unite you as husband and wife. Yes, we all want a flawless affair, a memorable event, a to-die-for reception, but don’t you want to marry the man of your dreams more than anything?

Hopefully, the population of Bridezillas will die off over time (figuratively speaking) and the beautiful brides men fell in love with will take their place. That depends on you, of course.

If you’re a bridesmaid or relative of a bridal monster, CNN offers these tips.

Novelist Ayn Rand perhaps unintentionally paid tribute to Bridezilla in this quote: “The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”

And that type of thinking is how a bride becomes Bridezilla. . .

As we draw closer to one of the most anticipated royal weddings in modern times, speculation continues to build over what fashion trendsetter and future princess Kate Middleton will wear when she marries Prince William on April 29, 2011. That’s a little over a month away! InStyle features sketches of the royal wedding gown from top designers, including designs that are romantic, classic, vintage-inspired and fashion forward. People worldwide are anticipated to tune into this event, but until then, fashion magazines are taking their best guest at what Kate Middleton will wear.

The designer creating her magnificant gown remains tight lipped, but we know Kate’s wedding dress will wow everyone. Take the poll on InStyle to pick your favorite design for the bride-to-be. To get “Hollywood’s” take on the royal courtship, Lifetime television will air “William & Kate” on April 18, followed by the first of a six-part docu-series, “Royal Wedding of a Lifetime.” BBC America will cover the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton live and commercial free.

Brides can shop for royal inspired wedding accessories, bridal shoes, veils and tiaras at Advantage Bridal.

Sears Launches David Tutera Wedding Jewelry

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

Sears Debuts David Tutera Bridal Jewelry

Similar to major retailer JC Penney, Sears also launched an exclusive line of bridal jewelry aimed at attracting engaged couples on a budget. David Tutera Bridal Jewelry include four collections of wedding bands and engagement rings: Eternal, Heirloom, Radiance and Legacy. Prices range from $399 on the low end to $3499, and each ring contains the “something blue” element for brides. Brides can also find wedding jewelry, “something blue“ and other fashion accessories at Advantage Bridal.

Tutera’s primary inspiration for the four collections originated from his desire to inspire each woman to be the unique and special bride she has dreamed of becoming her whole life. The sculptured pieces feature exquisite designs made from premium materials. Additionally, the four themes were created to have special and significant meaning: The Eternal collection represents the cherishing of a bright future; the Heirloom collection embodies the love that stands the test of time; the Radiance collection boldly signifies that all eyes are on the bride; and the Legacy collection epitomizes the enduring union in which the love story continues.

Each ring incorporates a genuine blue sapphire on the inner band—a unique detail that allows brides to incorporate their “something blue”—as well as exquisitely detailed symbols of love and loyalty that will be the hallmark of their married lives. Tutera’s solitaire rings also feature a signature floral head, drawing from both tradition and the designer’s personal passion for flowers.

“David Tutera’s deep understanding of the bridal market and direct connection to women everywhere, particularly when it comes to creating a beautiful wedding experience, makes this collection launch an ideal way to celebrate romance and elegance,” said Megan Featherston, vice president of jewelry at Sears Holdings Corporation. “The launch of the David Tutera Bridal Jewelry Collection is another example of Sears’ continued commitment to delight customers with the splendor they’ve dreamed of at an incredible value.”

Tutera added, “Your wedding story begins with choosing the perfect engagement ring. I am proud to offer my designer style, and more than 25 years of bridal expertise, to help make women’s dreams come true with a dazzling line of affordable wedding rings. Just like a couple’s love story, each ring design is completely unique. I’m excited to showcase the retail collection at Sears, which understands my vision and will not compromise elegance for affordability.”
