Something borrowed...something blue...

It's that time of year again when the spring wedding invitations start rolling in- and this year it is two of my very best girlfriends from college that are getting weekends all blocked off on the calendar- to clarify they are both getting married not marrying each other- so two weddings and even better two weddings resulting in two beach trips for me! So in their honor a little something Blue for this snowy Tuesday morning (yes- it snowed up here last night!)

Blue- the color of both the sky and the sea, with so many different shades and hues there is one for everyone- I have literally never met a person who didn't like blue. The color blue is a beneficial color to both the body and the mind; blue actually slows the human metabolism and causes a calming feeling- thus making shades of lighter blue a go to color for master bedrooms and spas because of its association with health healing and tranquility. Darker blue is associated with depth, expertise and stability- no wonder it is the preferred color for corporate America.

Blue is often used as a symbolism of loyalty and I can tell you- I am loyal to blue! Blue is a no fail color and a great way to go subtle or bold(how many colors can claim that?)! Don't get me wrong I love a light blue as much as the next UNC fan but increasingly blue is being used in a more more dramatic fashion- with shades of electric blue otherwise known as cerulean finding their way into contemporary and traditional homes alike. and nothing makes it pop more than bright glossy white trim!

I mean really what's not to love about a color that gets to be called names like: Summer Nights, Poolside, Hawaiian Breeze and Crisp Morning Air...
