<p>I just read a post that caught my attention. Vendors are now putting a "bridezilla clause" into their contracts and charging the bride for rude / obnoxious behaviour. What do you all think of that?</p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 8pt;">Back in October, I worked with any event company and got an inquiry from a bride who wanted to get married in January. She wanted the company to handle only the decor aspect of her event. She came in and I spent an hour telling her what we could do, offering suggestions and basically getting a feel for what she was looking for. I sent her a proposal a few days later and never heard from…</span></p>

She wanted the company to handle only the decor aspect of her event. She came in and I spent an hour telling her what we could do, offering suggestions and basically getting a feel for what she was looking for. I sent her a proposal a few days later and never heard from her again... and this was not from lack of trying to reach her!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 8pt;">I opened up my own wedding planning company in December and then got an inquiry from her a little over a week ago. I responded and met with the couple the following day, only to find out she had not gotten married as yet and was planning on February 22... Yes- of 2011!!! She had finalized the venue the day before, her brother who was a caterer was taking care of the menu and she had not sent out her invitations as yet! What I thought was going to be an hour long meeting turned into six hours of meet the couple, checking on their invitations, seeing the venue, and going to the bridal store to check on a dress.... yes, did I forget to say that she doesn't have a dress as yet!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 8pt;">Throughout this entire day I kept asking for the budgeted amount for their event, even for a range and this question was evaded on every single occasion. By the end of the day we had decided that I would provide them with a costing based on what they requested. I met with the bride three days later with a complete proposal. By the end of the meeting I realized that the proposal wasn't within her budget even though it offered options which could both increase and decrease the cost so I also suggest changing things around slightly. We were suppose to meet the following day- a meeting which she did not show up to and toward the end of the day expressed that the costing was too high...Tell me something we both didn't already know. I unsuccessfully tried again to get a range which she was willing to spend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 8pt;">That evening I changed the entire set up to include only the essentials. The budget was cut by about half. I included a letter indicating that she had to finalize the plan, sign contract and make a deposit by the week's end. (Today Friday!) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 8pt;">I met with her yesterday and was shocked by the conversation I got into with her. She came stating that the Husband to be wanted to change the venue. Invitations went out last week... your wedding is in 19 days.... OMG!!! I saw the proposed new venue it wouldn't work because it couldn't accommodate their 120 guests. After seeing the venue, it got worse! The bride incited to me that the husband to be agreed to give her a certain amount of money to do two things which she was suppose to "make work." She was supposed to have a wedding for 120 people from 10am-6pm and also set up a business which they had plans on going into (an internet cafe)! The amount he was giving her was $450 less the cost of my second proposal. I basically told her it was unrealistic and impossible and further, I wouldn't compromise my product just to meet her budget. I had to play the tough planner and tell her that she had to go home and discuss things with her partner and I still expected that decisions would be made today along with the contract signing and deposit. I tried contacting her several times today and have not heard from her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 8pt;">I have prepared my bill for the work I have already done and considering sending it to her with a letter indicating that I am unable to work with her any further. BT Vendors, please let me know if I am being too hard on her or if you would handle this differently?</span></p>

Bridezilla is actually a new term for me. I am a weight loss coach and I realize that one of the great "side effects" of the plan that I use is that people not only lose weight, but they are also calmer, more clear-thinking, and don't have the energy and mood swings that can drive them and other people crazy. I'm thinking --why wouldn't this would be true of brides on the program? Of course they want to look good and fit into their wedding gowns, but I'd like to hear more and understand what…

Wouldn't it be nice for vendors to have calmer brides?<br/><br/> When do you know if your client is a Bridezilla?tag:www.bridaltweet.com,2010-11-23:3145964:Topic:2297882010-11-23T19:06:40.686ZCCIMAGES Wedding Photographyhttps://www.bridaltweet.com/profile/chrischavira

It's simple, the longer your in the business the more Bridezillas you deal with. I shoot a high average of weddings per year and live in an area where clients expect a lot.

It's simple, the longer your in the business the more Bridezillas you deal with. I shoot a high average of weddings per year and live in an area where clients expect a lot. No problem though, I love what I do and have mad people skills. Lets face it, there are clients that are just unhappy individuals. Regardless of price, time and quality they cannot be satisfied. Keep in mind that everything is in writing and explained several times before and after the wedding. Though I do try and look out for red flags I have never denied a client that wanted to book. I do know of some vendors using this approach. The best advice I ever received was this<span style="font-style: italic;">" <span style="font-weight: bold;">It's because your clients are picky that they booked you in the first place."</span></span> I found this to be a healthy perspective. <br/><br/>Would love to hear your stories and feed back.<br/>ccimages.com<br/><br/><p style="text-align: left;"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/106609830?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt=""/></p>

Some wedding traditions you may not want to mess with but I am always looking for a unique twist to put on the garter / bouquet removal and toss. Some of the Ideas we come up with may be something you wish to include in your event or special day. Many couples feel that the standard garter /bouquet removal toss is a tired tradition and that they need a fresh twist on an old classic. More and more couples are beginning to look for unique ways to the garter toss and even the bridal dances. Please…
