Here are some good ideas for September colors for your wedding. I love this one color that is a light green. I understand that this is not a fall color. The light green would go beautifully with a darker green or a darker red/orange. This would “ground” the color in a more summer-fall transitional theme. You could use three colors- the light green, a darker green (dark sage, hunter, etc), and pair it with a gold, yellow, burnt orange, or dark red for accents.

This would be a monochromatic color scheme with complementary accents. If you want to browse some more color schemes, go to any website and look up any color you would think would go nice with your wedding dress.

I am also trying to decide what colors would look nice for an October wedding. I am also interested in such colors like, wine/cream, wine/champagne, and wine/gold. I think those color choices compliment each other beautifully, particularly the wine, gold, and champagne. Other colors to throw in there that would go nicely would be a deeper shade of copper and another lighter/darker red. Because it will be in the fall time of year, we could always coordinate oranges in there as well with flowers and centerpieces.

I have an outfit that I would like to wear but I want to make sure that it is appropriate. I have winter white pants with gold & silver pinstripes and a long off white blouse. As a rule, you don’t want to wear white because that’s what the bride wears. However, since your slacks have pinstripes and the blouse is off white, if you could accessorize it, such as a gold scarf that brings out more of the “off white” color, then you should be okay. I really do think that that outfit would look really nice. Make sure that you bring with you some kind of a jacket or coat that why when you get cool you will have something to put on. On the other hand it would still bring the outfit out more if you were to wear something that it light and airy and that you can just hang on something on tie it to your waist.

Plum & silver sounds lovely! Silver accents would be lovely on your plum dresses. If you go for another color, it can over-complicate the look. As silver is the ‘accessory’ color (this means it’s the color used to complement your main color, which is used in hints) then it would be very suitable.

But try not to put too much of the silver all over the dress. Having too much silver on the dress will not show the plum as much. Having like a shahs or a ribbon on the dress that is silver will be just as nice and you will be able to show more or the plum color and some of the silver color with out having to over power one of the other colors.

You could even have your bridesmaids put in ribbons or small flowers in there hair to bring out the colors of the dress.

Some dating experts recommend dating more than one guy at a time in the early stages of dating. This concept is often quite alien to us girls as we have been bought up to believe in fidelity, and dating multiple guys at the same time seems wrong somehow.

But there are good reasons for trying this technique. Imagine that you have met someone you really, really like. In typical romantic style you may spend your spare time daydreaming about him, maybe even try combining his name and yours etc. etc.

Sound familiar? Even in these days where we have high powered careers and little free time our romantic nature can take hold unbidden and our minds go wandering even when we do not want them to Sometimes we find ourselves waiting anxiously for a text, replying to something too soon or emailing him too often, even though we know this is a bad idea.

Now change the scenario…you have a number of interesting sounding guys that you have met, exchanged emails with or chatted to. Online dating is a perfect way to achieve this as it provides an ideal environment to meet with many more prospective dates than would be possible otherwise. You don’t have to meet with everyone you flirt with but just having contact with more than one prospective partner takes all the pressure off just one guy working out. You won’t spend all your time daydreaming about him because there are several other possible contenders for your heart, your time and most importantly your mind!

Being in this situation will allow you to be more objective about the guys involved which is important for any long term relationship. You can compare and contrast their respective qualities and the way you interact without feeling pressure for just one to work out.

This strategy also makes you a little more elusive which will actually highlight your attractiveness to all the guys involved and makes you appear confident and desirable, which will only make him want you more of course!

The key to this dating strategy is to be honest and upfront, don’t pretend you are being exclusive when your not. And obviously reserve this for the early stages of dating before exclusivity becomes appropriate!

Guys will have no problem with this dating strategy and it may just help you find the man of your dreams! So why not give it a go and see if it works for you?

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” -Annie Dillard

By an overwhelming response we are back to facing the cold hard truths of getting over someone we love. If you can handle the truth and you want to get over it sooner rather than later, read on.

No one is saying that it’s easy, but it’s a lot easier than you’re making it. The fact is; it’s inevitable. You’re going to have to get over it anyway, so you might as well take the quick and less painful route, as opposed to trudging down Heartbreak Lane.

The first reality is…it’s a choice. I know you may find that hard to believe but once you go through the stages of healing your broken heart, depending on how long you feel the pain, is actually your choice.

Without further ado, let’s get started with Advice Gone Wild II.

I’ll never love anyone like I loved him/her.

Advice: What a loss. Why would you allow yourself to believe this? Wasn’t there at least one other person in your past that you thought you would never get over? And, lo and behold, you got over them, didn’t you? Don’t set yourself up to feel bad. Sure, you loved them, but once you get out and begin to live a little “them” will be a thing of the past.

I can’t stop thinking of him/her.

Advice: Oh yes you can. You can’t think of two things at the same time so start to keep yourself as busy as possible. Every time you start to think of them, STOP YOURSELF and say, “It’s over and everyday I’m getting stronger.” You have to do something that is going to help yourself in letting go. It’s a matter of time when you will let go, why not just do it right now?

Who am I going to meet? I’ll never meet anyone.

Advice: You met him/her didn’t you? There are about 6 billion, yes, that’s billion, people in the world and you can’t meet just one? Come on, of course you’re going to meet someone. Quit lying to yourself. It’s not a matter of whom you will meet; it’s a matter of when you will meet them. When fill your head with this kind of garbage, how do you expect to feel?

What’s wrong with me that they didn’t love me?

Nothing! The fact is, sometimes things just don’t work out the way we planned. All relationships take TWO people to make it or break it. If someone chooses to leave you, for whatever reason, you simply have to face reality and pick up the pieces of your life and move on. If someone isn’t on the same page as you, if they have a different agenda, then the only thing wrong with you is if you continue to hold onto something that’s dead and gone.

How will I ever get over this?

You will get over it the same way everyone else does; one step at a time. You will get over it when you continue to take the right steps and do the right things that will help you heal your broken heart. If you tell yourself that it’s too hard, or you will never get over it, guess what? You’re right. What you tell yourself about any given situation is exactly how you will experience it. Unless, you choose to stay stuck, you will be over it sooner than you think…hang in there!

So when you’re feeling sorry for yourself and looking for the answers, look no further. You hold the key to either moving on with your life, by doing the right things or you can throw away the key and remain a prisoner forever. It’s your choice. Keep yourself focused on where you want to go, not on where you were, and before you know it, you won’t need any more advice.
