Have a sit down meeting and look professional - a suit. Then let her know you think of yourself as a professional in this role - not her friend. Also, you have to let her know that each time she changes something after a time period before her wedding (say a month) that it will cost her an additional fee. Explain that she needs a design board with all her wants on it and to quit looking at pin interest etc. If you are doing this for free then tell her how you would handle a normal client. My contract states a penalty for changing. Then if you think it would not look good for you as a professional it is time to call it quits yourself.
