About Us
A Message from our Co-Founders
Hello There!
We are Christin & Adam Healey, newlyweds based in beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia. We came up with the idea for Borrowed & Blue while planning our own wedding here about a year ago.
As a bride, I spent countless hours online browsing wedding photos and wishing I could use the vendors in the pictures for our own wedding! We found that existing wedding sites offer oodles of inspiration, but just aren't very helpful for researching venues & vendors in our area. As a result, planning our wedding was very time-consuming and involved hours and hours searching on Google to figure out where to get married and who could help us create our dream wedding.
We created Borrowed & Blue to help brides (and grooms!) imagine, plan, and share their locally inspired weddings, all in one place. We want your wedding planning to be fun, beautiful, and hassle-free, so you can get back to what is really important - your engagement!
Here's what you can do on Borrowed & Blue:
-
Get Inspired
Search or browse stunning photos and detailed descriptions of our gorgeous weddings, from some of the most beautiful destinations in the world, and see which vendors helped make each wedding come to life.
-
Start Planning
Search the largest online directory of wedding venues & vendors in each of our destinations, with hundreds of detailed listings to help you make informed decisions. Contact our vendors to start putting together your ultimate soiree.
-
Share the Love
We know how hard you've worked for all that beauty! When the dust settles, upload your photos and tell us all about your special day — we'll create a beautiful page to share with family & friends.
Welcome to our family! We hope you enjoy using Borrowed & Blue as much as we enjoyed creating it.
