Myth: The more you spend, the better the wedding.

Truth: Spending a lot of money doesn’t automatically make a wedding more special or more memorable. The experience and sharing the day with your loved ones is what truly matters! Budgeting, incorporating DIY details, and prioritizing meaningful/personalized moments can all contribute to a beautiful wedding without spending your life savings.

Myth: It takes at least a year to plan a wedding.

Truth: There are so many resources out there and professionals that are there to help you. If you want a shorter engagement, do it! Whether it takes 4 months, 8 months, or 16 months, we promise there are ways to make it happen.

Myth: You shouldn't cry before the ceremony.

Truth: Why hold in all the emotions? The photos will be real and beautiful. The love will be felt. Your makeup will not be ruined (that's what touch ups are for)!

Myth: You have to exchange the traditional wedding vows during your ceremony.

Truth: It's your wedding, you can say whatever you want! If those "in sickness and in health" lines don't feel organic to you, don't think that you have to follow the script. Trust us, no one will be upset that you spoke from the heart.

Myth: DIY will save a ton of money.

Truth: Yes, it's true, DIY projects can add personalization and uniqueness to your big day, but they’re not always the most budget-friendly option. Supplies, tools, labor, and time all cost time and money and can add up quickly. Pick your DIY details carefully and focus on just a few things that make you really happy to make! If the stress outweighs the money you're actually saving, then DIY might not be worth it.

Myth: You have to follow a certain order of events.

Truth: There is no "set in stone" order to your day. Cake cuttings don't need to be right after toasts and toasts don't need to be right first dances. If you don't want to do any of those things, that's okay too! Weddings aren't cookie cutter.

Myth: Hiring your friends/family is the same as hiring pros.

Truth: We love Aunt Martha as much as you do, but having her work during your wedding isn't as much fun as sharing the day with her as a guest! Pros are pros for a reason. This is what they do for a living. Wouldn't you rather let us deal with the stress of the unexpected?

Myth: If it rains on your wedding day, everything is ruined.

Truth: Understandably, rain is probably not a part of your dream wedding, but it doesn’t have to ruin the entire day. Make sure you have a backup plan (like an indoor option or a tent), or embrace the rain! Regardless, it will be magical! Plus overcast skies make for amazing wedding photos and you know what they say, "rain on your wedding day brings good luck!"
