Quiz: Where Do You Fall on the Bride Chill Scale?
Okay, so… a little birdy told us that one of our FAVORITEEEE bride shows of all time (not favorite, that still belongs to A Wedding Story: 1996-2005 RIP), Bridezilla, is officially back on the air on June 10th!! New episodes, new drama, new bride meltdowns, all of it. Yessss. Weddings CAN be s***shows, people, so the occasional bride-to-be freak out fest is #sonormal.

That being said, we hate to stereotype - bridezilla, bridechilla, they both suck - so it’s more about a scale of overall bride chill. You can fall anywhere on the spectrum! We’ve talked amongst ourselves and taken polls of our soon-to-take-the-plunge friends to bring you a pretty legit measure of your bride vibe. Take the quiz to see where you fall, and remember, this is all in fun. ALL brides be crazyyyy. Some are just a little crazier than others 😉
Answer YES or NO or check the answer that most applies to you.

You’re just not in love with your engagement ring. Ugh. Do you tell him/her that night - honesty is the best policy?
(0) - No. I know he/she spent a lot of time perfecting the proposal, the ring just isn’t my thing… We’ll talk about it another day.
(1) - Yes. I want to take+post pics like ASAP. #imengaged!! Maybe we can go out and exchange it this weekend??!
How soon after getting engaged did you activate #bridebeastmode?
(4) Umm, I’ve had my dream wedding planned since day one. I was just waiting for the guy/girl and that new piece of bling - emails to my hopeful ‘I Do’ crew started the next day
(3) I booked a few venue visits within a month of us getting engaged, figured I’d need have a place and a date before jumping into everything else
(2) Me and my fiancé took an engagement-moon right after he/she proposed, and since we got back, I’ve just started looking through Insta to see what vendors I might want to reach out to
(1) I let the seasons change before I got into any planning. Why rush?
Did you watch the finale episode of Grey’s and think OMG, I couldn’t get down with ANY of these weddings?
(1) Yes. Ferry boat, hospital, proposal+surprise wedding in the same day. Nope. Not my scene.
(0) No. S*** happens. As long as I can still get married, I can pretty much do it anywhere.
You just found out that your dream venue is booked for THE date you’ve had your eye on. They have the Saturday evening four months later open, or three weeks earlier, what do you do?
(1) Four months later? That’s perf! BOOKED!
(3) You really wanted a September wedding, but you guess August would be okay. You’ll just need to do some recon on any flower changes that you might need to make. Seasonality people. Can’t anticipate how warm it’ll be in August…
(4) Call your next choice venue right away and see if they can fit you in for YOUR date, if they say ‘YES,’ it’s a done deal. #sorrynotsorry
(2) Consider this a sign that your dream venue just isn’t doable, and scout out other spaces that are available for the date you want
The forecast for your engagement photo session was clear and sunny skies for days, and then it rains (and you planned a beach shoot). Can you and your photographer brainstorm something even better?
(1) - Yes. I’m already making swaps for shots in my head. We can do really cute captures on the boardwalk+arcade. Easy!
(0) - No. I need to find a way to reschedule without losing money. The contract didn’t exactly say rain or shine…
Who do you need to have at your first dress shopping outing?
(4) Oh, 100 percent my whole crew - mom, sister(s), cousins, + all the bridesmaids. The whole TLC-type scoring squad gives me life
(2) I’m probably going shopping by myself first, if I find something I’m into, I’ll bring the girls the next time
(1) Outing? I’m shopping online. Trying on dresses and having the consultants ask me if I’m ‘saying yes to the dress’ literally makes me cringe
(3) My mom and my MOH, they know me best
Which emoji have you texted/emailed your wedding vendors the most when sending any messages or correspondence about your wedding?
(2) 😍
(3) 😥
(1)👌
(4) 😩
How often do you check in with your wedding vendors?
(1) They’ve got my email address, they’ll reach out when they need 💰
(4) We have scheduled weekly Google hangouts. Don’t worry, I also switch it up once and a while and do vendor happy hour…
(3) I reach out when I’m feeling particularly inspired or I feel like I haven’t heard from them in a while and need to know they still haven’t forgotten about me
(2) I have all their contact info in my phone and any important payment or detail deadlines in my Google cal. I check in when I have to!
One of your groomsmen just called to let you know that he forgot he has another wedding the night before yours… in another state … and might miss the ‘getting ready’ photos. Is that OK?
(0) - Yes. It’s fine. He’s not on my side, that’s the only thing that matters.
(1) - No. Can’t he just not drink and drive back home after THEIR wedding? We asked him to be in our bridal party, seriously WTF
How willing would you be to let your MOH/bridesmaid bunch plan your shower+bachelorette without any of your feedback?
(3) I guess I can trust them; I just have palette, can they at least consider that??
(1) As long as I have a mimosa in hand and an OOO-scripted brimmed hat for the beach, I really DGAF
(2) I’ve been getting periodic ‘You’ll ❤️ it’ from my MOH, and things are going well. Unless that changes, I’m good
(4) Who said I needed to be surprised? I want to be involved, this is my jam!!
The female lead vocalist in your wedding band quit, and the band manager just casj forgot to tell you - until your reception. Do you freak out?
(0) - No, I’ll just mention that I was disappointed later (and if they still bring it, I’ll forget about it)
(1) - Yes. I paid how much for this band, and I don’t get Beyoncé? We’re going to have problems...
29 MAX - Least Chill/6 MIN - Most Chill
Result Spreads
6-11 - SO chill.
You’re getting married, really? Who would have thought! You epitomize the no shoes, no shirt, no problem mentality (you get what we mean!) when it comes to ‘I Do’ concerns and responsibilities. Maybe even to a fault… So you might need to have a killer MOH or MOB on your team. Someone’s gotta get s*** done!!!
12-18 - Pretty chill.
You’re sooo zen about this wedding thing, and do a pretty good job of prioritizing what to-dos need to be triaged and what can be taken care of another day. You might get a little more stressed as the planning goes on, but we’d say you’re probs in good shape either way. Know any burnout brides? Maybe you could help them hone their own Om.
18-23 - Sorta chill.
Let’s just say this. You have your stressed moments, but they’re probably warranted. Everyone has their pain points, and for you, maybe it’s making sure your color palette is pulled-off perfectly. Or butting in to ensure your shower is everything you ever hoped it would be. This is why you have a squad and a S.O., though, to take away some of the pressure. Lean on them!
23-29 - Chill, hah.
Relaxing doesn’t exactly fit into your planning process. You know it CAN happen, but it probably won’t for you until the honeymoon (even then, you might still stress over everything that you can / should do while you’re away). Your wedding is going to be great, you’re on top of everything, but take a breath when things get to be too much. Nothing is life or death, really. You also have a fiancé, let him/her figure things out!
