We’ve been blogging weddings for many, many year We’ve been blogging weddings for many, many years. Back when the wedding blogger world felt like a real community. We all had blog rolls, left comments, shared ideas, and cheered each other on. Some of my favourite chats were with fellow bloggers who truly cared about what they were creating.⁠ ⁠ One of those blogs was @mindfullywed⁠!⁠ ⁠ This beautiful Australian blog has always been about helping couples plan with intention, heart, and care for the planet. So when it needed a new home, we couldn’t let it quietly disappear.⁠ ⁠ We’ve admired its work for years. From the Eco Wedding Footprint Calculator to thoughtful, values-led stories, Mindfully Wed has always stood for something meaningful. We’re honoured to carry that forward.⁠ ⁠ Over the next few months, you’ll see its tools and stories appear across Polka Dot Wedding. We’re also working on new ways to help you find eco-conscious ideas and like-minded vendors.⁠ ⁠ We won’t try to replicate what its founder, Sandra and owner Kat built. But we’ll do our best to honour it.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in our bio to read the full story and what’s ahead.⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A teal graphic with text that reads "The New Home of Mindfully Wed" with the Polka Dot Wedding logo at the bottom.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #MindfullyWed #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding
