With a careful planning, a bride can avoid unpleasant situations, that would take away from the beauty of her wedding day. The bride and her mother should sit down and discuss any problems in the family and how they should be handled. A wedding planner can be very helpful, making sure that feuding relatives are seated apart at the wedding and reception. She can handle problems that might occur at the bridal shower and rehearsal. Remember that you can hire a wedding planner to budget and supervise the entire event, or just to coordinate the events on your wedding day. If you cannot afford this service, perhaps a mature friend (not in your wedding party) can act as a "designated" wedding planner.

Sometimes the bride will need to meet individually with family members before the wedding to address their concerns. She will need to remain "centered" and try not to get defensive if the conversation becomes difficult.
