Neutral colors are always a good choice for a wedding, especially with a green backdrop from an outdoor ceremony and reception. I am excited to share these beautiful photos from Bret and Brandie Photography from Ben and Bailey's wedding this past June.

A White, Summer Wedding
White weddings are a classic choice. It's something I have said here many times. But how do you make a white wedding unique? Texture and variety! Bridal Bouquet Variety isn't hard to find in August.

The New Blush?
Blush has been the on trend color in wedding design for several years. This soft pink can easily be paired with many colors.

Puppy Love
This styled shoot was so much fun! Beautiful ladies in beautiful dresses with adorable dogs... What else could you want? Better yet, all the dogs were available for adoption from the Warrick Humane Society. They were super sweet and hopefully are in a forever home now! The shoot was held at House of White Bridal in Newburgh, Indiana. Their space is beautiful
