Adding a little "Think Pink"

You'd have to live in a bubble to not notice the waves of pink during the last couple of weeks. Professional teams, businesses, organizations, and individuals have been working so hard to increase awareness to breast cancer research and prevention. With so many lives affected directly or indirectly, there is a need to continue the efforts past the month of October.



Outside of volunteering and monetary donations, we have turned our logo pink this month to honor and celebrate the lives of the relatives and friends that have fought the battle of breast cancer.



There are also ways that you can add a little "pink" into your wedding planning.



1. Support The Brides Against Breast Cancer national tour. The tour travels across the country with hundreds of gowns donated by brides, boutiques, or designers. Purchasing a gown from this charity places money to the Making Memories Foundation. The tour will stop in Raleigh, NC on February 25-27, 2011.

2. In lieu of favors, you can make a donation to your favorite chrarity then inform your guests by writing a message on cute cards and placing them on the reception tables or a large frame at the entrance. Its such a personal way to show how loving YOU are, AND get people to care about it, too.



3. I’ve had a bride wrap her bouquet with her grandmothers handkerchief in place of ribbon to be sure her grandmother was with her throughout her wedding day. This was very heartfelt, but definitely personal!


4. Begin today by purchasing a pair of pink pumps and "step for a cure".

Whatever you chose to do, remember that sharing the love of others is one of the best ways to add personality.
