The idea behind this myth is to avoid conflicting opinions and overwhelming yourself. While it's true that too many opinions can be confusing, it doesn't mean you should restrict your support system.\n\nRemember that the final decision should always reflect your vision and style. Your entourage's role is to enhance your experience and help you feel more confident in your choice, not to dictate your decision.\n"},{"__typename":"BlockElementSpacer24Px","title":"Spacer 24px","insertASpacer":true},{"__typename":"BlockElementCopyBlock","blockName":"Myth 2: You Must Stick to Tradition","slug":"myth-2-you-must-stick-to-tradition","bodyCopy":"Traditional wedding dresses are stunning, but it's essential to know that you don't have to follow tradition if it doesn't resonate with you. Some myths suggest that you must wear a white dress, adhere to specific styles, or incorporate cultural customs. In reality, your wedding dress should reflect your personality and style.\n\nIf you have a desire to wear a non-traditional colored dress, choose a different style, or incorporate unique cultural elements, it's your day, and you should feel free to express yourself. Don't let myths about what's \"expected\" limit your creativity and individuality."},{"__typename":"BlockElementSpacer24Px","title":"Spacer 24px","insertASpacer":true},{"__typename":"BlockElementFullscreenVideo","title":"MJ961 - Video","slug":"mj961-video","videoUrl":"https://cdn.bfldr.com/328SW8FH/as/cfvsmf993xmw7t54kwtrpjjp/MJ961-H","bfvideo":null},{"__typename":"BlockElementSpacer24Px","title":"Spacer 24px","insertASpacer":true},{"__typename":"BlockElementCopyBlock","blockName":"Myth 3: Wedding Dresses Have to Be Expensive","slug":"myth-3-wedding-dresses-have-to-be-expensive","bodyCopy":"One of the common misconceptions about wedding dress shopping is that you need to spend a small fortune to find the perfect gown.

It's essential to set a budget that aligns with your overall wedding expenses and explore a range of price points."},{"__typename":"BlockElementSpacer24Px","title":"Spacer 24px","insertASpacer":true},{"__typename":"BlockElementCopyBlock","blockName":"Myth 4: You Should Buy a Dress That's Several Sizes Smaller","slug":"myth-4-you-should-buy-a-dress-thats-several-sizes-smaller","bodyCopy":"Another myth that can lead to unnecessary stress is the belief that you should buy a wedding dress that's several sizes smaller with the intention of losing weight before the big day. While it's great to have health and fitness goals, buying a dress that's too small can lead to added pressure and stress.\n\nIt's best to select a dress that fits your current size, and if you do plan on losing weight, discuss potential alterations with the bridal boutique. Many dresses can be altered to fit your changing body shape, ensuring that you look and feel your best on your wedding day without the stress of drastic weight loss.\n\nShopping for your dream wedding dress should be an exciting and memorable experience. By debunking these common misconceptions you can enjoy the process and find a gown that truly reflects your style and personality.
