Remember last Thursday when I shared a sneak peek of a photo shoot that was coming up? Well, today's the day I get to share this first exclusive look at the styled wedding put together by G Michael Salon in Indianapolis, Indiana. The shoot was created to showcase the salon's talents and to inspire bride-to-be's with their own creative vision. The beautiful photos are by B. Photography by Brittany Wolfe

Lead Bridal Specialist at G Michael Salon, Courtney, was inspired by a classic concept she titled as "Summer in the City". The models in this shoot {Rachel and David} are real-life husband and wife who were actually wed at the venue where this shoot took place in 2010 {and have since welcomed their first child in December of 2012}. The venue was the Indianapolis Arts Garden which is located inside the Circle Center Mall in downtown Indianapolis. It perfectly accommodates an outdoor summer-like feel. You would never guess that it was below 30 degree and snowing outside when this shoot took place :)

Courtney was inspired by the trending pastel mint green and all things gold for this shoot as this color palette is soft and romantic, but highly sought after by many of today's planning brides. Remember my mint green and gold inspiration board? One of my favorites from this shoot, besides the stunning hair styles and custom wedding cake, is the bouquet of white, long stemmed roses that was hand-dipped in gold. I love the idea of doing something unexpected to make it personal and unique.

I am LOVING all of the mint green I'm seeing lately for weddings. It's such a refreshing and calming color. It's the perfect color choice for summer weddings, yet I think it can work very well in the winter months as well. Especially when gold is mixed in with the mint . . . just like today's inspiration board. My favorites include the first dress and of course the  mint green church. Wouldn't you love to get married inside such an adorable church? Especially when it matches your wedding color palette.
