We’ve heard all about Monster Brides, the Perfect Wedding, and Mother-in-
law troubles. Yet women are left to struggle through their wedding
planning processes alone—and often unsupported.
Our Bridal Support Workshop provides you with the skills you need to
address organization and planning issues, as well as emotional issues.
Harmonious Brides helps you manage the overwhelming feelings and
conflicts that frequently arise with brides and their loved ones. Some
of the topics covered include:
*Conflict and Communication
*Navigating Difficult Feelings
*Chaos and Organization
*Taking Care of Yourself
Our goal is to assist you in finding meaning, serenity, and a sense of
empowerment in this very important season of your life.
