Gabrielle and Bertrand

How lucky are we to be in a country with such amazing photographers? Vanessa at Wildberry has been such a support to Polka Dot Bride since we started and her images? Well they always take my breath away!

Today’s wedding takes place in a beachside suburb of Melbourne – Elwood! But the wedding is anything but beachy. It’s dramatic, it’s decadent and completely beautiful! I had to put this post on our traditional “fashion Monday” because Gabrielle’s Mariana Hardwick gown is a complete stunner and while I have dreamed over it before (especially on my chocolate brown and grey inspiration board) it is even better seeing it on a real bride!

A Lavish Affair were the wedding planners and all photography today is by Wildberry Photography.

Paired with her Mariana Hardwick gown, Gabrielle carried a bouquet of pink peonies by Flowers Vasette.
