It&#8217;s your day and it&#8217;s totally up to you how you plan it. Here are some wedding planning traditions you can ignore!<\/p>\n<h2>Wearing White<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe you&#8217;ve never been in love with the colour. Maybe this is your second time around and you don&#8217;t feel comfortable with the colour white. Whatever the reason, there is no rule you need to wear a bone white colour. The truth is, there are plenty of versions of cream or eggshell. Dusty pinks, pastels, heather greys paired with a lighter shade can also be a great alternative.<\/p>\n<h2>Save Money by Hiring Friends Instead of a Wedding Supplier<\/h2>\n<p>Your friend might be a great photo journalist, cook, or artist &#8211; but that doesn&#8217;t mean they will make amazing wedding photography, food or wedding invitations. Think wisely before considering hiring a friend. It might be less expensive but it might also be more difficult to ask them to make changes or do the work for you.<\/p>\n<h2>You Went to Their Wedding, so You Must Invite Them<\/h2>\n<p>The truth is, it&#8217;s your day. When you were invited to their wedding, you may have been coworkers or closer in each other&#8217;s lives. If you are no longer close or simply not in contact, you should not feel obligated to invite anyone.<\/p>\n<h2>Wedding Planners Are For People With Bigger Budgets<\/h2>\n<p>Biggest myth ever! Not only will a <a title=\"planning\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wedding-planning-tips\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">planner<\/a> work with your given budget, but they will help you keep track of your spending but they will also make sure you&#8217;re very organised. Plus, planners will be able to help you find the best of the best when it comes to suppliers. The wedding industry is often a small world (especially in local areas), where everyone knows each other, your planner will know who can deliver on what you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weddings often come with a lot of traditions, but they they also come with a lot of wedding myths.
