Whether you are planning your wedding color scheme, your next dinner party, or a room in your home (yes, really!) I found the color studio tool on the Brides website to be quite handy for those that have a difficult time envisioning certain hues together. Even for those not color challenged, it’s helpful [...]
I’m finding myself so attracted to mixing colorful fruit stripes and zig zag prints with ethnic florals lately, especially in apple greens and Palm Beach pinks.
