Weddings are one of the most celebrated and anticipated events in our lives. Many of us have grown up with certain beliefs about how weddings should be, but not all of these beliefs are true. Let's debunk three common myths about weddings that you may have heard your whole life.
You have to wear a white dress
One of the most popular myths about weddings is that the bride must wear a white dress. However, this tradition only dates back to the Victorian era in western culture, when Queen Victoria wore a white dress to her wedding in 1840. Prior to that, and around the world, brides wore dresses in various colors. Nowadays, brides have a wide range of options when it comes to their wedding dress, and many opt for dresses in colors other than white.
Weddings are always expensive
Another common myth about weddings is that they are always expensive. While it's true that weddings can be costly, they don't have to be. There are many ways to plan a beautiful wedding on a budget, such as choosing an off-peak date or DIY-ing certain elements of the wedding. Consider non-traditional venues or stretch out your celebration over the course of a few days to take advantage of mid-week pricing.
You have to invite everyone you know
Many people believe that they have to invite everyone they know to their wedding. However, this is simply not true. Your wedding is your special day, and you have the right to invite whomever you choose. Whether you want a small and intimate wedding (or elopement) or a big celebration with all your loved ones, it's up to you to decide.
Weddings are special events that can be celebrated in a variety of ways. Remember that your wedding is your special day, and you have the freedom to make it whatever you want it to be.
