We love spring! The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and wedding season is in full swing! Inspiration is so easily found in spring and our inspirational colour today is: yellow.
The Meaning of Yellow:
Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see in fact, people who are blind to other colors can often see yellow. The shade of yellow determines its meaning: creative, intellectual energy, wisdom, joy and happiness. Did you know that yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love?
Yellow is like sunshine, it denotes happiness and joy. For years yellow ribbons were worn as a sign of hope as women waited from their men to come marching home from war. Today, they are still used to welcome home loved ones as it also representes courage and peace worldwide.
