A Very “Pink” Wedding

October 3rd, 2008 @ 2:55 pm by Miss Dumpling


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! You might be thinking, “What does that have to do with weddings?” Well, nothing and a lot at the same time. Does that even make sense?

My eyes were opened to breast cancer awareness when I was 14 and found a few lumps in my breasts. It was nothing, I had surgery, they were removed and I was fine. Same thing happened when I was 18. I started to wonder why this happened to me, and how it could have affected both me and my family if the lumps turned out to be cancerous. Luckily, I haven’t had to deal with that yet, but there are many brides out there who have.

In Loving Memory

July 15th, 2008 @ 10:23 am by Miss Pinot Noir

Mr. Pinot Noir and I have been looking for unique ways to remember the people that will not be able to celebrate our wedding with us. We have chosen three ways to honor those who cannot be attendance.

I particularly wanted to honor my grandmothers (one passed away in 2005 and the other is too sick to travel to the wedding) and my uncle who passed away last summer. In their honor I will be adding photo charms to my wedding bouquet. This way they will be with me all day and then I will be able to save the charms as a keepsake (as I do not plan to save the bouquet). I talked to my florist and she thought this was a wonderful idea and doesn’t believe she will have any trouble incorporating them into the bouquet. I will use a photo of each of them from the day of their wedding.

This is an idea of what I am planning:

Giving Hope, Well Trying At Least

March 25th, 2008 @ 12:30 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

I like to consider myself as someone who gives. I try to volunteer when I can for events that are important to me, and I donate to charities in which I truly believe. I think we can all make a difference.

Breast Cancer awareness is something I truly care about. It only makes sense because six years ago, my grandmother passed away from the disease. Luckily though, my mom was more fortunate. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37 and this year will mark her 10th year of remission. She is a proud survivor and I am happy to share it with the world.

In honor of my mom and in memory of my grandmother, I want to incorporate pink elements in our wedding which will highlight breast cancer. When I told my mom this, she started crying. She was so touched and I was happy because I love my mom so much.

Daughters Cambodia with The White Aisle

November 26th, 2007 @ 1:22 pm by Mrs. Bee

Rebecca from The White Aisle contacted us back in August regarding an organization she’s working with called Daughters Cambodia in Phnom Phen, a day center for girls working in brothels that provides access to showers, basic hygiene, and vocational training.  On a recent trip, she donated sewing machines so the girls could make simple things from local silks that she could sell on her site, and hopefully find a way out of the brothel life.

Post-Wedding Hair

November 6th, 2007 @ 2:14 pm by Mrs. Lovebird

I was actually planning on writing a post about this topic before someone brought it up on the Beehive.

Many brides like to grow their hair out for their wedding - I am one of them. But after the wedding day has come and gone and you feel the need for a shorter hairdo, what are your options? Instead of just going to the salon and having the stylist give you a makeover while all your pretty strands float slowly to the ground, you might want to consider donating your hair for a good cause.

One in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime* and nearly 60% of women regard hair loss as the single worst side effect of cancer treatment.**

As Mrs. Bee already reminded us, October is Breast Cancer Month and that means, for all of you pink brides anyway, this is a great time to stock up on pink M&M’s! They are perfect for candy buffets or favors, and purchasing bags of these candies helps out a great cause - Susan G. Komen for the Cure! What could be better?
