Let’s get started and go over some of the top myths that you may have heard about wedding planning (some of them might surprise you!).

DIY is Cheaper

One of the top myths of wedding planning is that making something yourself is always cheaper and more budget-friendly. While it certainly can be at times, doing something yourself can also be incredibly expensive in the long run. Especially if you’re making something that’s going to require a lot of craft supplies and time, it may actually be more cost-effective for you to purchase the item.

 

If you’re someone who enjoys making things, then you may not care about the cost of doing it yourself. However, if you have a tight budget, then you’ll want to make sure that you’re thoughtful and that you price out a DIY before you commit to doing it for your big day.

Wearing White is Essential

Most people choose to wear white on their big day, but that’s certainly not a requirement! Picking a dress that’s unique can be an unforgettable choice and one that you’ll love. Consider doing some research and seeing if a non-traditional dress could be exactly what you want.

 

If you are going to pick a non-traditional dress, you may want to add some time to your wedding planning timeline. Your options will most likely be more limited than if you chose a traditional white dress, so take that into account when thinking about how long it’ll take you to find your dress.

Friends Can Help

While friends certainly can help with the wedding planning process, they shouldn’t take the place of professionals. A professional is someone with expertise who can guide you in the right direction and take on that responsibility, while friends should most likely help with smaller tasks.

Sit-Down Dinners Are Always Expensive

One big myth is that buffets are more cost-effective and sit-down dinners are always expensive. This is certainly not always the case and it really comes down to the individual decisions that you make. If you’re going to be doing a sit-down dinner, there are lots of ways that you can make it budget-friendly and make sure that you’re not spending too much. With that being said, buffets can also be a great options and pen that most couples should consider.
