486 - Setting Boundaries With Moms (…and MILs) with Gloweddings

Bridechilla - Wedding Planning Podcast

Show Notes

We adore moms… until they turn into honorary co-planners with Very Big Opinions™. This week, Leah chats with Gloweddings’ mother–daughter team Sarona Farrell and Alicia Sowa about balancing love, tradition, and boundaries when the mom-squad is a little too invested in your wedding vision. Whether it’s “Back in my day…” energy, “But I'm paying for this” vibes, or “I already booked a florist” levels of enthusiasm, we break down how to set loving, respectful boundaries, stay grounded in what matters, and keep the peace without losing yourself in the process.

Because your wedding shouldn’t feel like you’re starring in Everybody Loves Raymond: Bridal Edition. You can honor your family and honor your wedding. You don’t have to choose.
