So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Trendy Ideas in Bridesmaids Dresses

By Schanika James

Does your hair have more than a little gray? If so you might be appalled when you take out your wedding album and catch site of what you dressed your bridesmaids in. You know, bridesmaid dresses do not have to be overdone, over themed, and garish? These days, brides are treating their bridesmaids to dresses that are stylish, fashionable, and fabulous enough to be worn again in the future.

I guess the first issue has to do with the dress length. While some brides still prefer that is no longer your only option. Today many bridesmaid dresses are cocktail or knee length. But please - no mini dresses - most gals don't look good in them. Another element that has changed is color. You feel free to choose any color that looks looks attractive on your bridesmaids and supports your wedding theme. You know, even black is just fine for an evening, fall or winter wedding.

In addition to the length of the dress, consider its cut. Good choices include, strapless or a low back style. Think classic cuts on a more modern length and you cannot go wrong.

Next consider what fabric you want. Typically fabrics for today's bridesmaid dresses typically are drape well. Popular choices include chiffon, silk, and polyester blends. You may even use classics like a super light wool or linen.

Of course, most gals like to finish off a fine dress with the right jewelry. To keep the bridesmaids looking stylish, you will need to choose wisely. When you browse for bridesmaid jewelry items, your keep in mind what works with the dress and fits with the woman wearing it. You do not have to have each bridesmaid wearing the same jewelry but it should have a consistent theme. jewelry items you give to each bridesmaid should be items that they will want to wear again, such as long crystal earrings and pendants. For final touches, think about strappy sandals, beaded or fabric clutches, and a short jacket if it's cool outside.

The bridesmaid dresses that you select should compliment your wedding theme. Casual dresses are perfect for weddings held outdoors or beach weddings. They would not look good in large traditional church weddings. Keep in mind that the dresses you choose should also suit your bridesmaids - all of them. If your friends are fairly young you can choose just about any style and it will look great. On the other hand, if your attendants are a bit older, they might end up feeling rather uncomfortable in a choice that is a bit too far out there.

In the end, the matron of honor dresses that you select are a reflection of you. If you gravitate towards what is contemporary, then your bridesmaid dresses follow suit. The ideal bridesmaid dresses will be an important component of your wedding info and important for you and your bridesmaids.
