Through the Rain: Finding Beauty in Every Storm
Share
There’s something quietly comforting about a rainy morning—the kind that makes you want to linger by the window a little longer, watching droplets gather and fall. The sound against the glass, the scent of wet pavement, and the soft gray light remind us to slow down and appreciate the little things that bring color and comfort back into view.
At A Bow or Two, we believe those moments deserve beauty too. Rain has a way of softening everything around it, which is why our Purple Gingham Bow, Blue Gingham Bow, and Black Gingham Bow feel especially fitting for days like these—bold enough to stand out against gray skies, yet timeless enough to feel calm and collected.
The Purple Gingham Bow: A Touch of Calm After the Rain
When the rain stops and the world glistens in shades of lavender and silver, the Purple Gingham Bow captures that in-between beauty perfectly. It’s a gentle nod to spring gardens and soft lilac hues that peek through the clouds. Paired with planters of greenery or a simple white door, this bow adds a cheerful but peaceful touch—a reminder that even gray days can end with color.
If your home leans traditional or cottage-inspired, purple brings a bit of personality without feeling overwhelming. It’s ideal for creating that welcoming, slightly whimsical look that guests notice before they even knock.

The Blue Gingham Bow: Bright Against the Storm
Blue has always been a color of serenity, but on a rainy day, it becomes something more—grounding. The Blue Gingham Bow stands beautifully against overcast skies, echoing the deep blues of puddles and distant mountains wrapped in mist.
For porches accented with navy shutters or natural stone, this bow brings harmony and a touch of classic charm. Try pairing it with a clean doormat, potted hydrangeas, or even a striped umbrella stand for a scene that feels both polished and playful. It’s proof that rainy days don’t have to feel dull—they can feel collected, calm, and beautifully curated.
The Black Gingham Bow: Timeless on Every Forecast
Then there’s the Black Gingham Bow, a true staple for all seasons. Rain doesn’t dampen its elegance—it enhances it. Sleek and sophisticated, black gingham adds instant contrast to any exterior, especially when paired with white trim or soft neutral siding.
When raindrops slide down the windowpanes, a bow like this feels grounding. It works just as well in modern homes as in farmhouse-inspired ones, balancing boldness with simplicity. Add lanterns, soft lighting, or even a pair of glossy rain boots by the door, and your entryway instantly feels like a cozy welcome after a storm.

Finding Joy in the Drizzle
The beauty of rainy days is that they invite us to see our spaces differently. Reflections shimmer where sunlight once was, and details—like the neat edges of gingham or the soft folds of a bow—suddenly feel more alive. Whether your front porch is framed by blooming flowers or quiet puddles, a well-placed bow turns an ordinary day into something worth pausing for.
Decorating isn’t just about bright days; it’s about finding joy in every kind of weather. Sometimes in life we get too preoccupied with what we want to happen that we forget to take advantage of the things life throw at us. Lets let the rain the rain remind us that we don't have to control everything to make beauty.
