Iso opinions and guidance

I agree with everyone here, be a shoulder to cry on or an ear to just listen. Take her away for a day and do something not wedding related. Let loose and have fun. That is all she probably needs right now.

I agree with everyone else here that it is awesome of you to be her support system and care so much about her at this time. I think all you can do at this point is listen to her and support her.

This is exactly what a bridesmaid/MOH is supposed to do. You're doing awesome!

Be her support system; nothing is worth more to me as a bride than when one of my girls says "That's it, you need a break, we're going to do X and NOT talk about the wedding!". Sometimes it's coffee, sometimes sitting on the couch watching youtube videos, sometimes its a spa day or something else relaxing. They keep me grounded and remind me of what's really important (yes, the wedding is but real life continues after that's done).

View quoted message I second this. This is good advice. I think having support amidst drama will be helpful for her... someone to be on her side. And it’s good to take relaxation time.

Awe you’re so sweet to worry about this for her she’s lucky to have you as a friend and MOH! I think the best thing to do is to talk it out with people who are casing drama and tell them it will no longer be tolerated. However you can’t control others actions so I think just you being there for her and checking in to make sure she’s ok and doesn’t need anything. A nice day of relaxation would be wonderful like what Jessica has mentioned.

Oh I like this a lot too! Yes have dates or things that you do that is very not wedding related! That has helped me a lot with stress and not to stress out my fiance too haha!

Not sure what the drama is around but if there's nothing you can do to directly help her than just being an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on is the best thing you can do!

Drama and stress are never a good mix, I would honestly just let yourself be there to listen, not even offer advice really she will probably need to vent a lot!

Drama tends to come with weddings. I don't think what she needs is monetary, but rather just your presence and understanding. It also helps to designate a "non-wedding" day, where both of you can relax and enjoy the afternoon without talking wedding stuff. Maybe a spa day, going to a yoga class or have a movie afternoon/night. Making sure to do more normal things, you would both typically do, rather than wedding talk all day can certainly help in relieving some of the stress and drama from the planning.
