How did you stay fresh/cool during the hot summers when air conditioners were not available to all?
No, that's fine and some people even plan it that wayAnd one of the most popular color combos to do this with is blue and yellowYou end up with a navy-type shade, a pale shade, and then a canary yellow, and this is really prettyThe only thing you have to be careful of is wandering off into a competing tint of the colorFor example, more of a bright royal blue, which clashes with navyOne easy way to do this is either google color palettes online or even use the custom colors in pptFind your shade of navy, and then keep lightening itThere may be a mid level blue like sky blue and then you almost get to pastel blueAny of these are fineAlso, your invites really aren't part of the palette anywayNobody is going to remember the exact colorSo do this for the actual wedding stuff - flowers, centerpieces, dresses, etc.
well each color has a million different shades and for manufacters to be able to make the exact same color a million times they need to asign numbers and they don;t make them up there is an actual number guide i can't say universal but yes it is a common number guide for mostly everyone that is why you can find the exact same color in different pieces of furniture in different stores or even countries )
I never lived in a house that did not have at least a huge attic fanThe ability to circulate air from the outside through the house was a good way to keep the inside of the house as cool as possibleIn a very humid climate a ventilating fan was the only helpIn a very dry climate an evaporative cooler was wonderful before refrigerated air conditioning became practical for single family dwellingsIn Uvalde County, Texas the humidity is very low and evaporative coolers or more commonly referred to as Swamp Coolers, were the only answerI slept under a blanket on the floor in front of the Swamp cooler and almost froze in the middle of the summerSwamp coolers pump water over large pads of wood fibre called cellsor and as the water runs down through the pads air is drawn through the padsThe evaporation of the water has a cooling effect and is absolutely wonderfulDesert climates still make swamp coolers very popularThey are much cheaper to operate than refrigerated air conditionersWhen I was a teenager in Southwest Texas a date with a girl who gave you the cold shoulder was sought after by all the guys in the summer timeYeah, Right !
