Its's often true, that when you marry someone who works in the military, life will never be ordinary. However, as we can see from the beautiful shared moments below, the love between this couple is no "ordinary" love.

Wedding Wednesday: You had me at Rosé

Choosing your wedding colors is one of the first ways you can set the mood for your special day. The color palette is also a perfect way to set a theme and is often times the best reflection of your style. We love when our brides aren't afraid to step away from tradition and select a style and look that truly represents them self. Today's featured wedding is a perfect example of  how to include fashion, creativity and emotion into your wedding colors. A palette of neutrals and pinks represents love, good health and good life, says Bride Power, and what a perfect way to describe this couples beautiful wedding day. 

Compliments to our artists: Kristen (Bridal & Bridal party makeup) | April (Bridal party hair | Aline (Bridal & Bridal party hair)

Pretty in pink is an understatement when describing this gorgeous bridal party. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses are the new way to make your bridesmaids stand out, according to The Knot.

Make it POP like pink champagne! We are loving the romantic pink palette on the Bridal party.  A mix of neutrals like taupe, eccru, blush and champagne create a stunning look that is sure to stand out.

Brides are going Bronzy. Our artists are using more natural, monochromatic toned makeup in many Bridal looks. The deep rich tones above really compliment the Brides soft features. We loves how she ties in the entire look with a unique gold statement hairpiece.
