A Bride-to-Be in Meltdown Mode | QueenBeady

Today: I am currently having a breakdown. A wedding crisis. A Bridezilla moment.

All of the above, I thought I would never have or experience in the run up to the Big Day.

Okay, okay. I am no Saint, but I have always made sure I am humble human being. Never one to brag, to show off about my life, keeping my shit together as much as I possibly can even though I am just about treading water. But today everything in my little life has just dawned on me.

I get married in 41 days. It’s not a significant milestone in the countdown to the big day, in fact the 41st day nearer to our wedding is a completely bizarre date to have a complete meltdown. However, it’s just dawned on me that creating a DIY wedding in a year and a half is very hard. Some of you will be rolling your eyes at this post right now, thinking ”bloody hell what is she whining about?” But truth be told, I can imagine the old me saying EXACTLY the same thing just over a year ago.

The list of things to before the big day is slowly getting longer and the questions seem to keep going unanswered in this mind boggling event that is our wedding day. I seem no closer to working it all out, but the seconds, minutes and hours are ticking away and time is becoming a short supply.

The hairdressers are constantly trying to get more money from, the caterers are meant to be sourcing plates but don’t seem to be keeping us in the loop, the ice cream van is not replying to my questions.

I’d love to hear how some of you previous brides or current brides to be are coping or have coped with pre-wedding stress? Please let me know as I am a Bride slightly tipping the edge and it would be great to hear your hints and tips for keeping shit together!

    I have no tips for keeping your shit together……
    But..
    I can tell you that on the day none of that stuff matters as long as you are both there, and we were both obsessed control freaks…on the day things went wrong but it was still the very best day of my life

    Can your maid-of-honor, groom, or bridesmaids help with any of these tasks? I’ve been a bridesmaid five times and helped out each of the brides. It’s okay to ask for help. Delegate tasks for them like fielding calls from the caterer or the florist, negotiating prices, reviewing the details of what you requested. When my sister got stressed out with her wedding we made a spreadsheet with what needed to be done, who to contact about each item (venue, caterer, etc.), deadline for when to contact them by, who was assigned to tackling each task, and then they would fill in when that task was completed with any notes. We did all of it on a Google Docs Spreadsheet that we “shared” so that we could update it all the time and keep track of everything without having to make list after list. Btw-I don’t work for Google, lol. Good luck and hope that helps a bit!

    With my sister and mum being hairdressers, we didn’t need any for my sisters big day, but don’t let the hairdressers get any more money out of you than they had agreed! If you signed a contract with them check over it, same with the caterers, if they’ve said they will do something they have to! Ultimately, everything will work out and you will just have a beautiful day! Also I’ve got to say, an ice cream van is possibly the coolest wedding idea I’ve heard of! Congrats honey xxx

      Oh you absolute sweetheart! The whole day is just going to be about fun & laughter 🙂
      I have finally just accepted the hairdressers for what it is, sadly, it is one person who has been rude to me – the rest of them have been absolute darlings!!!
      Thank you for all the advice. Things, I’m sure, will all come together in over two weeks time!!
