Episode 44 "Bridal Burnout is Real"


This automatic transcript is brought to you by  AI technology.

Are you as frustrated as Oh girl, you have no idea. Guys, we're on a roll of the most Beautiful Podcast episode and you want to know what happened? It just stopped recording because it stopped recognizing my device. Yeah, and I was in one of the best tangents that I was like, listen, everyone's gonna be on the same damn page as me. And you know what, didn't record a damn thing.

Guys. Did you know what's a super moon? Tomorrow? Full moon? Oh? I feel on it? And aren't we in Mercury retro grade? Yeah? Mercury's and Gatorade again, God fucking Gatorade. Why I feel like it's always there? Do we ever get out? You know what? I just feel like the times we're in we're just constantly living in hell. Yeah.

Yeah, And then there's these moments of like ah, and you're like, oh my god, if the sunshiny, life is great, and then it's like, oh you feel good? Watch and then higher being steps on you as if you're tiny late That's what it feels like. Think again. So we're gonna try this another go welcome. Well, you so so excited? So are you? Were almost dead? Listen.

Our episode was on is on Bridle burnout and how Bridle burnout is real, and you know what I'm feeling, really burnt out right, I'm still want to burn out. This is the second podcast we recorded twice twice because we recorded one earlier twice. Because we were trying a different form to record to see how the mic sounded, and it sounded like garbage, like we were like underwater. Because these mics are phenomenal and this system is great until it's not and it stops working obviously, and then the more convenient one sounds like trash because you know it's convenient and cheap.

Yeah, so I'm manifesting a shit ton of money, so I can we can just go rent out like podcasting studios or something and record there. Let just build one here where back room. You know how much shit we have in that backroom. Girl, I'm sure I find a spot.

So anyways, Hi, we are here to talk about the Bridle Burnout. Welcome to everybody as a Bridle body. Yes, I'm Natasha, You're a host for this evening, and I'm Cassidy. Oh oh my god, so welcome to the journey.

We're about to go on with you, and I hope you're entertained. So as some of my other podcast friends say, uh, grab onto your butts. WHOA just strap in, grab your butts, let's go morbid curly say, They're like, grab onto your butts. I love that.

So but yeah, we're gonna dive into bridle burnout. How to recognize those signs, how to take care of yourself to prevent further burnout, or to prevent burnout all the way around. Yeah, burnout is real. It sure is, and it can.

Happen to anyone, even when you're trying to plan something so fun, joyful and exciting. Yep. But bridle burnout is a huge dilemma in wedding dress shopping, in finding a venue and finding a florist, in family saying hey, I have advice for you, or I think we should incorporate this. Yeah, so your plate can start to get full, it sure can.

Bridle burnout is emotional, mental, and even physical fatigue that can set in during the wedding planning process. It doesn't mean that you're not excited to get married. It just means the pressure is wearing you down. And you know I said this the last time we recorded allow that pressure to turn you, turn you into a freaking diamond rather than like into a disintegrated chicken.

So yeah, take that pressure and be like, bam, I'm sparkly, bitch, see me, I'm not a carcass. I'm sparkling. So yep, it's the end of the day and I've done this too many times. Yeah, so you're gonna get burnout.

From pinterest overload to group text chaos, trying to make everyone happy, it all adds up. Yeah, and often brides feel guilty for even feeling tired or frustrated, like shouldn't this be the happiest time of my life? Oh my gosh it. I mean, it can be, but it can also be so stressful that you're regretting everything. Listen, when we schedule calls with our brides who do appointment requests, and we call and say, hey, how's wedding planning going? You can tell the ones that are about to be burnt out.

We get. It's okay, and I'm like, oh, pray, tell why just okay, and they're like, oh my god, I didn't know it'd be so overwhelming. In case you didn't know, wedding planning is a full time job on top of everything else you're doing. So you're working full time your wedding planning, which is a full time job.

You may have kids at home, you're taking care of pets at home, you're taking care of Hopefully you ain't taking care of your spouse like they a child, because they should be a grown ass adult. But that's also a scenario that some people live in. Thank god, I don't. Oh yeah, no so, but this is a full time job, but it should be an exciting job that doesn't feel like you're working.

It feels like you're having fun and you're daydreaming and romanticizing your life because you deserve to feel romance in all aspects of what you do. Absolutely, it's your wedding day. You should be having fun, being excited, but with everything on top of your plate starting to overflow. Some signs of that burnout you may notice, is like you dread talking about the wedding day, which.

You shouldn't hundred percent. You are very indecisive or regret decisions that you've already made, even done the little nitty gritty things like oh I chose the wrong napkin color. Yep. If you think wedding planning is like bride Wars or like Monster a Lot Bridesmaids.

You know what that is just worst case scenario and comedic relief. If that is your real life, baby girl, take a step back, take a deep breath, and you know what, you need some help. Go do something else, like go to a really nice hotel for the weekend and get room service and a massage and ignore the outside world so you can come back and be like, yeah, well, bam. You should not have anybody shitting in the street.

Or in the scene. You're shitting right now, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we want to avoid that. But so you can also have trouble like sleeping, or you feel anxious about just minor detail and you've stopped enjoying the process and feel that pressure to perform. Your wedding should not be a performance.

So with emotional outbursts like cassaid, you're crying over the napkin colors, you're snapping at your partner over the guest list. No, you're not alone. Other people have experienced it, but the outside influences will push you into that corner that the emotional outburst happens. It's like, you know, if you put a bear in a corner.

It's gonna feel attacked and it's gonna lose that shit and come after you. So don't do not poke that bear. Do not anyone poke you and get you to the point that you're gonna like lose your shit over the most tiny little detail. Yeah, So what can you do in that moment? I would walk away and take a deep breath and have a glass of wine, and then I'd come back and be like, Okay, I'm ready to talk.

Let's have a conversation. Yeah, take a step back, reassess it, ask yourself what's actually important to you and your partner. Yes, And hopefully you have people in your corner that if they're recognizing your micromanaging every vendor or every decision because you can't trust anyone to help you, that they are lovingly telling you, hey, you need a hand, let's get a wedding planner that can help with these details. Or hey, you trust me, you love me, you know I'm here for you.

Why don't you hand some of those responsibilities my way and I can do all the research and present options to you. So you're only choosing from like three options rather than the gazillion you find on Google. Yeah, it's totally okay to delegate people with tasks. So in me saying you get influence from all these outside sources, what type of outside sources are these pressures coming from.

I would say social media is one of the biggest. Oh god, social media is horrendous. All of the videos on Instagram TikTok of everybody's wedding being perfect and the most beautiful, esthetic and stress free, but those aren't real. Can I tell you the amount of times I've seen those over the top weddings.

I have never in my life been invited to a wedding like that, because that is the point one percent of the population. There's only been one wedding. I'm jealous. I haven't gone to.

That's one with the Pyramids of Egypt behind them. Oh yeah, wished I had money to attend that. You're gonna say, our friend who got bts of Nelly performing at the wedding? I forgot about that one. I hate it.

I was like, hire me for free, I'll get the backup videos. Can I just go and watch Nelly? Please? Yeah? So just no, social media is always going to be curated to be the best of the best. No one is going to actually show the real, raw, ugly side of what it took to get those curated moments or how many takes they took to get the curated moment. No, do not compare your wedding to somebody else's.

Not Every wedding is the same, and that's okay. Yeah, it's you, it's your wedding. Yeah, don't compared to anyone else. Yeah.

So all of those TikTok videos, instagram reels of people doing a million dress shops and like come along with me, or people having you know, venue tours, and it's these venues that are six figures. That's not reality. No, appreciate it because it's it can be fun and enjoyable if you're decompressing, but don't allow it to put unrealistic expectations on you when you do not fall within the umbrella of that point one percent. Yeah, and no one's gonna post their burnouts.

No, I can tell you, like people, a lot of people who have that ability when they hire the wedding planner because that's a luxury they can afford. If it's a luxury you can budget for, please budget for it. But they allow other people to set the stage for them to present all the best options so that they know they're getting the best of the best. They're getting people who can do the job they've been hired for.

But I can tell you right now they've got outside pressure from the parents, from you know, the friends having opinions. And is offering to help with the strings attached. Yeah, so I guarantee you they've experienced burnout because for them, it is performative. Yeah, so just remember at that level, it's performative.

In real everyday life, all you gotta do is show up, where's something you feel good in, say I love you, and stuff party and whatever party looks like for you. If that's punching cookies or booze and taco tu trucks, you know. Do it. Do it.

It's totally fine. And I think that's why a lot of more intimate weddings, smaller weddings are starting to happen. Oh, I'm sure people don't want to entertain all of those people they don't know. Well, COVID change that dynamic, or it made us realize who's most important in our life, who should we be investing our time with, in our money and all those things in Because you don't make any money off your wedding.

You are spending gobs amount of money to entertain literally everybody else. Absolutely, so don't entertain them. Yeah, give them a happy middle finger and say you can show up and have you know, easy fun, or you can just not come or say have fun pushing your luck. You may not get an invite and watch their face.

Yeah that's fun. But on top of the family and friends that might pressure you. That can cause burnout. You might have burnout from whether it's generational trauma around you know your size and your worth because you know, if you're not super skinny, you can't be pretty or happy, which is wild so wrong, or just you know, if you're easily fluent, easily influenced from social media, you're gonna see all these beautiful people and be envious that, like, well, I'm not gonna look like that in address, I'm gonna look the amount of times that people say I'm gonna look like a stuff sausage or a fat cow or anything.

That's just so negative. We are our worst critics. We understand that. But you want to feel confident in your dress because it'll show on photos.

Yes, and confidence is beautiful. Yeah, that is the number one most beautiful thing on a person is the confidence they have in themselves and them being happy with who they are. You can always have a desire to have like a better version of yourself, but a better version doesn't always equate to the dress size. Yeah so, and your person loves you for you, and if they don't get rid of them, yeah, say Cionara, exactly so.

But those are a lot of things that will lead to your bridal burnout. It's the unrealistic expectations of people, pleasing of too many opinions, like we said, too many cooks in the kitchen, of feeling the need to completely alter your body and yourself to be picture perfect. All of it will pile up. All of it will pile up.

Yea, And that on top of your everyday life. Honey, that's a lot. There's a lot to deal with. I'm stressed just thinking about it for you.

Oh right, I'm overwhelmed. Yes, So what can we do about it? Well, like we were saying, take a deep breath, and it's okay to step back and reassess one thousand percent and figure out what the important things for you and your partner are. Because it's about you guys, And like Cass mentioned, we'll probably touch on this in an episode about you know what the gen Z brides are really into, and a lot of them are into the more micro weddings. This is a moment, like we said, that is about you and the person you're choosing to marry.

So who do you want to celebrate that with? Yeah, how do you want to celebrate that? Those are the most important things? You don't It can just be the two of you, That's okay. Absolutely. You know, you can do the invite everybody to the wedding thing, or you can only do immediate family and friends. There's no wrong answer.

Or you can literally just have two witnesses. Yeah, but just like cast said, step back and reassess. Yeah, and then it's okay to delegate to. If you can't hire a wedding planner, that's okay some of them, Like everybody's got a different budget.

But see if there are any friends or family members that you trust who will listen to you, support you that you can delegate tasks to. Yeah, and you know people are probably gonna ask how can I help? If you know that their help comes with conditions or their help quote unquote bulldozes you into doing what they want. Have strings attached to it. Yeah, be confident enough to say no, set those boundaries, voice the consent of yes.

I would love your help, and this is what I'm asking you to do. I don't need you to do anything outside of this. You don't need to get creative, you don't need to This is what it is. Literally, here is the checklist, this is what I need.

Follow these steps. Send me the options you find after these steps are completed, and that would be great. And if they can't find another person, yep. But also if you get to that point where you need to delegate out because you have too many cooks in the kitchen and you're trying to figure out how to make everyone happy, just maybe simplify.

Maybe simplify and a you know what, maybe I don't need to hire, you know, a live band and a harpist and a DJ. Maybe I just need my phone plugged in somewhere on Stohle with a playlist. There you go. Like, if it gets to that point where you're being presented too many options and it overwhelms you, simplify.

There is no one will regret having a more simplified wedding. No, definitely, not at least that that we've experienced, right, So, yeah, and if you do. Then have a valurnule and go all out and crazy. There you go.

But since amplified, it's okay. That's okay. And then make sure to schedule non wedding time. That means after eight pm.

Don't talk to me about wedding planning. Work life balance, vibe. Absolutely, take a weekend off, go on a date. Don't bring up center pieces while you're on that date.

And if you're having a holiday dinner, like say you're engaged right now and you're going to really start jumping into planning, you know, beginning of twenty twenty six, when you are at Christmas dinner, No, you don't need to talk about the guest list with the family. Just be like, hey, let's just enjoy holidays. Yeah, let's table this for another night. We could schedule a different you know, lunch.

Absolutely go over it then, but like, let's just let's just be present and enjoy this moment. Definitely, and something we preach about even outside of wedding. Burnout therapy is amazing. It will help you prevent burnout in all areas of life.

Because your wedding is a blip in the timeline of your life. Yes, goes by and you know of an eye. Oh yeah, there's individual, there's a couple counseling. It's a safe space to where you can process and lift a huge weight off of your chest.

They're a neutral person. They are not there to judge you. And it's not your family member who say you can always talk to me, and then when you do, they backlash or yell or don't understand. Yeah, and one thing I think clients don't realize.

And obviously there are stipulations on this, but you are allowed to change your mind. Yeah, just communicate to your vendors. You know, we really make sure that our process in what we do, you feel confident in the decision you've made, so you don't second guess yourself. If a bride is not confident in a decision, I feel very uncomfortable taking your credit card and ordering address.

I'd rather you go home and sleep on it, even sleep on it for a freaking month if you need, and then come back if you have a clear at it, if you have the time. If you don't have time, girl, then we got right. Yeah. But like obviously once you make that order, the caveat is it's a final cell.

Yeah, so we're going to do everything in our power to prevent you from feeling burnt out in your decision and making what you feel like is a wrong decision. But like with your florists, with your cake person, with your you know, regular food, with your DJ, your colors, yeah, like those are things that are easy to make changes on. Obviously, each one of those vendors will have their stipulation of after this time everything set in stone. Contracts are signed, Like, we got to run with it, but you can still, like, if you do have a wedding planner, you can reach out and say, hey, I know we made this decision on florals, but i'm kind of second guessing it.

Can we set up a meeting with the florists to see if we can incorporate this other flower or if we can change the color slightly. You know, even if you're past a point that maybe they can't change what's been ordered, they could at least see what they can add on to the order. They should hopefully have recommendations. Yeah, they'll be they'll be able to give advice on how to fix the thing.

But and going into meetings with vendors, it's okay to ask them if I was to hire you, what is a timeline look like and what would be a deadline if I was to change anything. Yeah, So don't feel bad if you if you need to change your mind on things. I will say the girls who usually feel the need to change their mind are the ones who are already on the path of burnout. Yeah, and so that's why clear communication will make so much of your stress go away.

Yeah. Absolutely, And we definitely see it a lot here in the boutique, And of course it shows up differently for everyone, but we can definitely tell when a bride's about to crush out rock bottom. Yes, and we do everything we can to uplift you, make you feel more solid footing, you know, more secure and safe. We do what we can.

We know not everybody that you encounter, especially in the line of work we do, is going to give you those stepping stones and those tools. But for us, it's really important because this is an emotional decision and we want you to feel confident in those emotions and feel validated, feel supported so that you can make decisions without second guessing. But like I said, we can recognize those signs. If you come in with low blood sugar because you refuse to eat that day and you're living off coffee, you're gonna make bad decisions if you invite people to your appointment that you are always people pleasing, You're never going to please yourself and you're going to feel burnt out trying to please them when what they're pleased with is not what pleases you.

So if you've had you know, a rough go in talking to others and you come and pissed because other vendors you feel like we'ren't listening to you, now, you're going to project that here and it's going to be really hard for us to really get back to the safe side. If someone's going to get a lashed out yeah, somewhere. So we can recognize those signs. We'll ask you questions privately in our room, yep, Like when it's just one on one, What do you need? How can we support you? You know? And if we recognize you're really not in a healthy space for dress shopping.

We will tell you, yeah, we may suggest a different day to come back. Maybe don't invite all the people next time and come by yourself or only the one person who advocated for you the entire time. Yeah, So those signs so burnout you. I feel like we've all learned what those signs are in like everyday life, So essentially apply those every day burnout signs, but just around your wedding day.

Yeah. But even if you're getting burnt out in everyday life, it will trickle into wedding planning. So yeah, and I feel like the more time you give yourself to a wedding plan the better. Yes, if you try to cram it, and we've seen people try to cram it in a month, weeks, few months, you really will hit a burnout mode.

Yeah, And so we're here to try to protect your piece, make you feel warm and fuzzy in dress shopping, because finding your dress shouldn't add to your stress. It should actually relieve it. Because you've been able to put that check mark on your wedding planning list and you're like, hey, another decision made, I'm confident, I'm happy. Now let's move on to the next thing.

Absolutely, So if you're not feeling that way as you make those check marks, it's time to pause on your decision making because I will say I've paid poor choices in my life when I wasn't confident, oh yeah, and super stressed. Super stressed or people influenced me in my life to do things because it makes them happy, and I was more worried about them back and regret it. Yes, I'm saying I shouldn't have listened to them, So don't do that in wedding planning. Okay, and listen.

Like I said, I know, wedding planners are a luxury that not everyone can afford, but look into services. A lot of various wedding planners offer month of I used to say day of, but it's really month of because they're the month before your wedding. They want to check in. They got to know everything leading up.

They can't just be slapped in day of. Yeah that if you can't afford to have them plan your wedding, but you can afford to have them arrive on the day of to make sure things go according to the plan you've sent stone. They know how to talk to the vendors, how to get things set up so you can just enjoy the moment. Put money there well, and even some venues offer wedding planners.

Yeah, so see what who they offer, and then they usually have preferred vendor lists that they'll give you. The venue Sean and I got married at was that way. I mean, granted it was a collegiate venue up at University of you to and so there's a lot of legal logistics in there. But they did give us a preferred vendor list for booze, for food, they had some photographers that were familiar with the spots, you know, but really we use that a lot for food and booze because we had to make sure that we were compliant and I was not about to make a wrong decision and then be stuck with legal repercussions.

No, definitely, And if you do end up getting burned out, you are not failing. You're human one thousand percent. This is a very emotional time. It can be complicated because there are families blending together and it's okay to fill your feelings.

Yeah, feel them, cry it out, bitch it out, yell it out, get it out. Yeah. And if you don't work in the industry, it's a lot. If you can go into it.

Not knowing anything, it's a lot. Oh yeah, there's a lot too. Weddings. Well, it's like us trying to understand when car people are telling us about our car.

Oh yeah, it's like, I don't know what the hell you're saying. I don't understand jo And then I go home. My husband's like, you could have saved money. I could have changed your air filter, Like I was being asked in the moment, I don't know.

I didn't know that. I don't know. I was just trusting them. They're an expert, and they said this is what you do, and you say, okay, So does you know if you have any questions about anything.

It doesn't even have to be around burnout, but like, yeah, questions just about how the hell do I find some brides maide stresses. How anything wedding related? Yeah, whatever it is, we're here. Yeah, dm us send us an ema. All that information will always be in the show notes.

You can google us Versiah Tillia Bridal. I know that's a mouthful and you may not be able to spell it, but most likely not got you. It'll be fine. But reach out and even if you're not in our area, well, we love to talk to you.

We love to give you support in whatever way we can. And you know, even if you reach out to vendors in your own area. The good vendors thrive on you reaching out and asking questions. Yeah, because we're able to build that confidence with you, to show you what you want is attainable, or if what you want isn't attainable, here's an alternative you may not have considered, and it would it's acts more perfect for you than what you originally wanted.

We can ease your anxieties, we can boost your confidence in your decision making. We can guide you to other vendors that you'll feel confident in making decisions with, because like minded people build a community together. Absolutely, and we've done so many photoshoots and we're part of Whippa. We've got a lot of friends that we know and trust and know their work.

And that's when you know, okay, then they must be good. Because if they're not going to recommend me to somebody. Who sucks, I will never do that. And absolutely not.

If somehow I gave you a recommendation and this person was not up to snuff and they somehow bullshited me, something road caused you to go into burnout, Let us know, tell me, because then I'm gonna reevaluate that relationship and be like was this a one off that like personalities didn't align right, Because that happens. There are really good people that will just not mesh well with somebody, get. A Personalities sometimes don't mix. Yeah, but like I would feel horrific if I ever gave a recommendation on something and it was really really bad.

Oh yeah, so please don't be afraid to tell me either, because I want to know that. So I made the right decisions. But let's try to avoid burnout. We are hitting the holidays, that is a time of burnout.

Depression, Yeah, depression huge, right now, take some vitamin D you know, I do that since I'm not out in the sun ever. You know, find find things that are going to make you feel good so you can feel replenished. But don't feel bad turning your phone off. Don't feel bad saying hey, I don't feel like I can make a good decision right now, Let's do something else.

Absolutely, but avoid the burnout. And I don't know about Android, but Apple's GOTA do not disturb button you can set up, okay, if I want important calls, if I want important texts, then it'll let me know. Yeah, it's one of those things I need to do. I only do it on my computer when we're podcast recording, so that you've got a few.

Really, Yeah, I had a school one. That's a good idea I have. I think I have a work one. But my school one was like no notifications.

That makes sense. My mom's like, I can't get through to you. I'm like, yeah, I'm in class. Yeah, I gotta be present for this, trying to graduate.

But you did. That's weird. That's weird. Six months have gone by, Yeah, weird.

So but I hope this episode gave you some good, you know, little nuggets to help you in your wedding planning process. Help you reevaluate how you're exerting your energy and how you're spending your time. Because we want this to be not the best moment of your life, but a moment you remember fondly and still brings a smile to your face fifty years from now. You like to look back at your photos.

You've got to hung up on your wall. You tell everybody about your big day. Yeah, we want you to feel like a proud mom when it comes to oh my gosh, my wedding was amazing. Let me tell you all about it, and let me oh I know, I do.

I know you do. I feel like I do for the most part. Yeah, I know. There's one thing you regret, yeah, videographer.

Yeah that was when videographer was a whole, brand new idea and because some girl threw a bitch fit, she deleted my stuff. Yeah, and it looked like a goddamn home video setup that like my dad could have done. Which, hey, that's a sign of burnout. She was pushed too far somewhere and she took it out on something else.

Yeah, I got I had a lot of burnout in my wedding planning, almost ran away to Vegas to get married, lost my shit a ton. Yeah. That was the one and only time my husband and I ever fought was because he was frustrated with like my mom and the outside influence that was happening, and it's a whole thing, and I allowed her to influence me, and so I was not the greatest healthy mind at the time, and my husband was just like, Nope, this isn't healthy. I don't agree with this.

It's about us. Yeah, let's just go to Vegas. I literally booked a Vegas menu. You should have.

I know, I would have loved to see how your mom would react. Yeah, it's crazy, So, you know, and I think those experiences I had help me here because I recognize those dynamics I recognize. Yeah, you know, I need to please my mom because if I don't please her, my life's a living hell. And that's not a fun please to be ever in your life.

No. Yeah, but this is the first for most women here in our state because so many brides are so young. Yeah, this is the first grown up decisions they're making because a lot of times they're still living at home, they're in school, Like mom still helps out a ton, which shout out to moms, you're amazing. But you shouldn't be controlling.

You shouldn't be controlling what the bride can choose. No, So, because we get thought a lot, we do.

We're doing this for us, and we will send you the invites, but we're here if you want to have a bitch fest because it's fun.
