Article: If you anticipate being in a wedding in the near future, then you might want to hang onto the dress and see if you can use it again. This is a good option if you cannot get as much as you would like for the dress. You may also consider wearing the dress again if it is a color or design that will work for another wedding. However, you will only be able to reuse the dress if it still fits you well. Make sure to check with the bride before you reuse a dress for her wedding. Some brides are more open to what they are willing to let their bridesmaids wear, but others want them to wear a very specific color and style of dress. If you don't think you will be able to use the dress as a bridesmaid again, then you might consider having it altered so that you can wear it for other occasions. Take the dress to a seamstress and ask if there is anything they can do to make it something you can wear for less dressy occasions, such as on a date or to a nightclub. For example, a seamstress may be able to remove embellishments to make a dress less flashy or shorten a long dress to make it more casual. It can be expensive to have a dress professionally altered, so this might only be worth doing if the dress is in a color and material that you really like and would want to wear again in a simpler form. If all else fails, you can always donate your unwanted bridesmaid dress. Donating a bridesmaid will ensure that someone who cannot afford a new dress to wear to a special event, such as a wedding or school dance, can get one at low or no cost. There are several organizations that accept bridesmaid dress donations and you can use your donation as a deduction on your taxes. Some organizations to consider include: Goodwill Operation Prom Becca's Closet A local theater's costume department (also tax deductible).

Article: Spring-flowering bulbs are most visually appealing when a variety of flowers are planted in an arrangement. Depending on your level of gardening experience, you may want to start out with only 2 or 3 types of spring bulbs. If you're confident in your gardening skills, select a half dozen bulb varieties. Purchase at least 3 or 4 individual bulbs of each variety. Popular combinations of spring bulbs that can be planted together include: Tulips, daffodils, and snowflakes. Bearded irises, Siberian irises, crocuses, and bluebells. Snowdrops, crocuses, and hyacinth. Note that the bulbs in each combination are roughly the same size and can be planted at the same depth in the same hole. Nearly all plant nurseries stock bulbs year-round. If you visit the nursery in the fall, around September or October in the Northern Hemisphere, their selection of spring-blooming bulbs will be at its largest. Healthy, high quality bulbs will be rounded and firm, and not have any cracks or wrinkles on their surface. If there isn't a nursery in your area, many large home-supply stores have an onsite gardening center. If you don't live near a brick and mortar nursery or garden centeror if you prefer to shop onlineyou can find a wide variety of bulbs through seed catalogs. Search by flower name until you find the type of bulbs you're looking for. If the bulbs are organized by growing season, search for "spring-blooming bulbs." For example, look through the online bulb selection at Gurney's, Park Seed, or FedCo Seeds.
