Just a few of the hindrances a future bride encounters in planning a wedding. Between your wish to make everything just right, the wedding industry’s many rip-off artists, and family and friends exasperating you at every turn, is it any wonder that you occasionally slip into bridezilla mode?

So instead of dealing with it all yourself, leave it to the masters. We’ve got just the experts to contend with your wedding’s cast of characters.

The Under-Enthused Mom
Just because she missed the lesson on Mothering like June Cleaver doesn’t necessarily make her a bad parent — just a useless one when it comes to organizing a wedding. The good news? She’s replaceable: Wedding planner Alexis Eliopoulos O’Mara is as meticulous as Martha Stewart. She’ll do everything from arrange gift baskets and handle budgets to haggle with the florist (617-833-5661).

The Clan of Many Names
These days, enough people are keeping their maiden names and/or getting divorced that seeing just one surname on an invitation can be downright shocking. To keep your stationery simple, call on Rugg Road Paper Company. Their cool fonts, handmade paper, and clean designs are a breath of fresh bridal air (105 Charles Street, Beacon Hill; 617-742-0002).

The Maid of Dishonor
As a friend, she rocks. As a maid of honor? Let’s just say there’s a cabin reserved just for her on Jealousy Island. But bring her along to Vows Bridal Outlet, and she’ll be too taken with the Richard Tyler frocks and ethereal Badgley Mischka confections (at 50 to 75 percent off) to bitch. She may even decide your wedding isn’t such a bad thing after all (334 Watertown Street, Newton; 1-866-THE-GOWN).

The Borings-in-Law
If the swing and rock band Four Guys in Tuxes can’t get them on their feet, his parents might just be a lost cause.

The Gastronome Cousin
Make him eat Crisco-based frosting and he’ll never let you forget it. Fortunately, the confectionary artists at Cakes to Remember never touch the stuff (248 Cypress Street, Brookline; 617-738-8508).

The Groom-
Turned-Planner
All of a sudden, he’s interested in every little wedding detail. Okay then, have him tag along to the meeting at Ilex Design, where the flower geniuses will make him feel included but still give you the tasteful, streamlined designs you want (73 Berkeley Street; 800-540-4539).

The Sourpuss
Mother-in-Law
She never smiled at you before, so why would your wedding day be any different? Just in case, a quick-shooter like Cheryl Richards has a photojournalist’s eye for detail coupled with an impeccable sense of timing (617-424-7760).

The Worst Man
He claims all those ball-and-chain cracks were in jest, so let him prove it by ordering thoughtful, personalized favors. The cool, custom-made candles at Aunt Sadie’s can be made with the happy couple’s favorite prints, pictures, sayings, and scents.

The Picky Bridesmaids
Of course they’re bitter: Not only are they worried they’ll have to fork over big bucks for a dress they’ll never wear again, they hate that they all have to wear the same one — different body types notwithstanding. Tell ’em to chill. Betsy Jenney carries a slew of designs from Nicole Miller to ABS that A) are more like sophisticated little cocktail dresses and B) match in color, but not style (114 Newbury Street, Back Bay; 617-536-2610).

There now: Everyone’s happy. So you can live happily ever after.
