With the holidays around the corner, the color red is a big part of the season. If picking out bridesmaids dresses or a holiday party dress the dresses above show different options in a short dress. Heck, if you pick one of these dresses for your bridesmaids, they will definately be able to wear it again and you just won't be saying that.

Today is the big game between The Ohio State University and Michigan University. If you are a true OSU fan you know the importance of this game. I am a Buckeye fan and my husband is a fan and graduated from OSU, but do not know if I would have incorporated it into my wedding. I think that this wedding looks very elegant, but with a bit of whimsy. It shows their true spirit of being Buckeyes.

Planning a Holiday Wedding
Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to throw in the holidays with it. I would really want to reduce my stress as much as possible during this time. Here are some thoughts that I had to do that...
- Take advantage of day after Thanksgiving sales--These sales then to have holiday items for a reduced price, which would reduce your cost. If you know exactly what you want you might even be able to find some the items that you needed for your holiday wedding right after Halloween since that is when some of the stores begin to put out their holiday items.
- Have a Party and not Just a Reception--The holidays are a festive time. Make sure that your wedding reflects this. This can be done through the attair that everyone wears, the decor, food served and the music played. Take advantage of the festive spirit.
- Ask Family and Friends for Help---Instead of recieving Christmas, Hanakkah, Kwanzza or wedding gifts, ask family and friends to in-kind their services. You might have a friend that can bake ask them to make your wedding cake or a aunt who does flower arrangements ask her to do the flowers for your wedding. By recieving in-kind gifts, it will help with your budget and will make the people that you ask feel special about taking part in your special day.
- Wedding Favors--Favors for a wedding, especially during the holidays, can get lost in the shuffle in the whole planning process. Make your favors something that your guest will use again and will remember you when they use it. You could give each guest an ornament with your wedding date or it or bake a special batch of your families favorite holiday cookies. Making the favor more personal makes your guest feel that you were really thinking of them.
- Remembering What the Holidays are About--Whatever your family tradition is during the holidays, it is always special to you. Your wedding day will be one of these special days, just with the added bonus of it happening during the best time of the year. Remember why you are getting married and all the new traditions that you will begin to make with your special loved one.

87 Years
Today is my sorority Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. 87th anniversary. I am a very active member of my local graduate chapter. I had several sorors in my wedding . At my wedding, my sorors sang to my husband and I the sorority's "Sweetheart Song". It was beautiful. We even did some stepping afterward. I even think that my husband's fraternity brothers were jealous because they did not have anything to sing. I love my sorority and want to wish every soror a Happy Founders Day, with 87 more great years to come.

Monogram Dance Floor
For my wedding I wanted my monogram on the dance floor, but I knew that I could not afford to have lighting to do it. I did some investigating and this is what I did to still get the look I wanted.
What you need:
- Design on jump drive or cd. Design must be in a jpeg or gif format.
- 2-3 days of wait time.
It took 2 days to make it, since when I went to pick it up it was a poster and not the mat that I ordered. So they had to take another day and redo it. When doing this make sure that your, consultant knows what they are talking about. Mine did but the people making did not.
Depending on the size mat that you order, depends on the cost. I spent about $80.00.
It added a great touch to my wedding and it looked really good. It was an unexpected surprise...which I really liked.

What Would You Do Different?
My mom asked me a few weeks ago..if there was anything that I would do different for my wedding and I told her no. Now that I think about it, I do know one thing that I would want to change which is being a procrastinator. I started several projects for my wedding thinking that I had time to get them all done, which I did, but some of them I was finishing the day before the wedding and late into the night. Since I was engaged for 14 months, I felt I had plenty of time. Time goes by faster than you think when you are planning a wedding. If I give any advice to a bride, is to start and finish projects for your wedding as soon as possible so that you do not have to make a mad dash at the end.

My Trash the Dress
I did my trash the dress session in June. It was wonderful. I had such a good time with Sarah my photographer. It was really fun walking around and taking pictures in some unexpected places that you would not normally take pictures in with a wedding dress on. If you did not do a trash the dress or after the wedding photo session you might consider it. You do not have all the expectations of wedding photos and you can just have fun. I will show more photos from my session next week.
