If i understand the question, then you just need to ignore the
interfaces for the bridge.

iptables -I FORWARD -i eth_bridge_1 -j RETURN
iptables -I FORWARD -i eth_bridge_2 -j RETURN
iptables -I FORWARD -i bridge -j RETURN

same for input and output if you don't need a firewall for the ip
address assigned on the bridge interface or you don't have an ip address
assigned.
