Controlling bridesmaids

Is it normal for bridesmaids to be controlling? I have a bridesmaid why keeps telling me to go to bridal shows and I keep telling her I don't need to i have everything I need. She says well it's just a suggestion so you can win free stuff but I have told u I don't need free anything at this point...

She says well it's just a suggestion so you can win free stuff but I have told u I don't need free anything at this point because vendors of booked she says well u need to be open to suggestions um for what everything is set. Am I be a bridezilla or is she trying to redo her wedding through me?

    My mom was being kind of like that, trying to tell me what to do, she doesn't like my colors, wanted everything planned within a month of being engaged (we had 1.5 years and couldn't get our venue more than a year out anyways). I basically kept her on a need-to-know basis and talk to her about things she can't change like hey dress alterations are going great!!! Also, she's doing our cupcakes and cookies (she volunteered and has done wedding/special event cakes many times and is the local cookie lady) so now that she has her own little task to keep her busy that's helped a lot too keeping her from butting in where I don't need her. Maybe try some of those things with your BM?

    @OP I mean, okay? Did she go with you to those bridal shows? Maybe she felt left out? Maybe she was trying to help? Politely decline and move on geez

    You completely ignored the fact that you're controlling them and their makeup choice.

    "I'm not that bride at all!" **Makes BP attend meetings**
