PAGE 10, WHITBY FREE PRESS BRIDAL SUPPLEMENT, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 18, 1981 - SayIt With Flowers On Wedding Day! From the style of the bridal gown to the music for the ceremony, your wedding should express your devotion to one another to the fullest. And, when it comes to the flowers, enhance each ar- rangement by choosing flowers with inner signi- ficance, and create the per- fect composition that will truly depict your own special kind of love. Roses can convey a variety of fine qualities, whether you use them monochromatically or in color duets. Use white roses to depict reverence and innocence, and red ones for love, courage and respect. Let yellow and orange roses declare your joy and enthusiasm; couple red and yellow blooms to show your happiest of feelings. For grace, include delicate pink roses; for unity, employ white and red varieties together. The rose bud, the epitorne of beauty and youth, can add even more meaning to your floral display. Show your adoration through the eyes of golden sunflowcrs, and the desire for affection in the sweet perfume of the delicate jonquil. Let the splendor of red mums and red tulips announce your love, while tranquiliies give an aura of perfect purity. Portray fidelity and faithfulness with rose- mary, violet or veronica. Allow the fragrant helio- trope to express your un- dying devotion, and tell of your genuine love in the form of forget-me-nots. Constancy can be char- acterized by the bluebell, as true loveliness is har- bored in the delightful ca- mellia. In the starry-eyed myrtle, discover the spec- trum of purity, fertility and love; in the slender stock, perceive the essence of lasting beauty. Recreate fond memo- ries by including flowers of personal sentimental value, and make every aspect of your wedding fail into perfect harmony with the tune your hearts sing. Focus On Wedding Bliss Now It's Love and Marriage - and Career! Two of most things is bet- ter than one. But, two careers, one marriage . . . is it better? Can it work? Special problems crop up for the two-career couple that can place extra strain on a marriage, but the fact is, more and more couples are managing this new life- style and managing well. Fifty-four percent of U.S. women between the ages of 20 and 65 are now part of the labor force, so if both of you aren't working right now, chances are that some- time in the future you will be. You should be prepared for some of the problems you'll have to face. Accord- ing to one expert, they fall into three main categories: long-range decision-making, daily organization of life and psychological and emo- tional conflicts. $ 00 lO Per day, plus 7*/kilometer Ask about our weekend & monthly rates We also rent GMC Buses, Vans and Wagons 0O DD à Rental Specials GMC Campers-VW Campers & GMC Buses with air conditioning NOWI VOLKSWAGEN LTD. x 1425 DUNDAS ST. E. TOO WKITBY 668-9383 UNE 361-1128 Whose career comes first? That's one of the toughest areas of long-range plan- ning for partners who have careers rather than just jobs. It affects where you live, what you do. Probably the best way to deal with the problem is for both of you to make up in- dividual career plans, then come together and decide which parts of each plan can work for both of you. Perhaps one person's career can take precedence over the other's at certain points in your relationship. Another of the long-range bones of contention is whether or not to have chil- dren. Both working partners have to sit down and decide whether they are willing to take time off from their careers at various stages to deal with the raising of chil- dren. They have to deter- mine whether they will place the child with a day care center, hire a babysitter or stay at home and raise the child themselves. On a day-to-day basis, household chores can cause problems. If the two of you cannot agree on a division of work which is suitable, remember you have the op- tion of hiring outside help. JAN8I BIG, BEAUTIFUL, FLASHING SMILES are the order of the day! In a choice of fashion reminiscent of the Victorian era, her gown by Alfred Angelo features a bodice of reîmbroidered lace with flowing skirt accented with medallions of lace. The groom wears the new Ashley formal by After Six. It's classic, but very contemporary with flashes of satin on the breast pocket and angled flap pockets. The coat is uniquely cut away, dipping gently to an intricately seamed back. It is worn with wing collar shirt, smashing satin ascot, vest, and matching trousers.t Money management, too, presents sorne hassles. There are a number of ways you can go, but one expert recommends that each of you pay for a certain area of home expenses out of your own separate bank ac- counts. That way, each partner has a share of the economic responsibility. ' Entertainment is also likely to cause some trou- bles. Once again, you'll have to talk things out. Ideally, you might want to take turns accompanying each other to business functions and entertaining business friends. On an emotional and psy- chological level, a working couple has to come to terms with a number of conscious and unconscious fears: fear on the husband's part that his wife will be more suc- cessful than he is; fear on the wife's part that she won't be able to play all the roles of wife, mother and profes- sional; anxiety on both parts when it comes to traditional sex roles. The important thing for any couple, and in particular the two-career couple with all its special troubles, is to talk things out the moment there is a problem. Remem- ber that you are each dif- ferent individuals and see things differently. You alone are responsible for your happiness - not your partner. Take time to do things together and have fun. With good communica- tion between partners, the two-career couple can enter on a challenging, but very interesting and rewarding life together. Bed Linen Shower If you're planning to surprise the bride-to-be with a shower, consider making it a bed linen one. Whether the happy couple will be "at home" in a luxurious condo or a tiny kitchenette, they're going to need sheets, blankets and other linens. Sound out the prospec- tive bride as to her pre- ferences in color, so's you can clue in those you are inviting. To start off the bride and groom, here are the minimum bed linen needs: 3 sets of sheets and pillowcases I automatic blanket or 2 winter-weight blankets 2 summer-weight blankets 2 mattress pads 2 pillow covers Don't limit yourself to whites and pastels when selecting linens for today's young bride. . . not when you can add to her decor with the many lovely designs available.
