Good morning Monday! We’re in for an incredibly exciting week (fingers crossed!) on Polka Dot Bride, so let’s kick off with our Monday morning tradition!
It’s time for this week’s Vendor Of The Week! Each week we pick a member of Ms Polka Dot’s Directory and give you a little insight into the great businesses that support us!
This week’s Vendor Of The Week is Ruby and Willow. Our first “international” vendor (we have a whole world to fill in our directory!) Kate hails from New Zealand (but can work with couples worldwide!) Ruby and Willow creates beautiful stationery (and can even custom design your dream piece) using their talented design skills and professional printing methods. There’s a DIY range that includes US brand Envelopments, plus owner Kate Holland also writes a gorgeous blog Magnolia Rouge.
To get to know Kate a little better, we quizzed her five questions in five minutes!
Favourite after five drink?
I’m loving Feijoa Vodka with Apple Juice right now – bit of a NZ thing, and so refreshing for summer.
Favourite weekend getaway?
Anyway out of the big city, in the country, fresh air, walks in the forest or on the beach, lots of reading, eating and lazing around!
Favourite restaurant?
Our local Teppanyaki, Gaku, in Browns Bay, Auckland. Nothing fancy but the food is superb every time and they service is second to none.
What can we find you eating for breakfast on a Sunday morning?
We’re in between houses right now, living in a apartment at the beach so we have the advantage of lots of cafes close by. There’s one that’s 50m from our front door and they now know us by first name so we’re making the most of their great service and their awesome breakfasts.
Favourite wedding story?
I’m not so good at picking favourites as everyone’s story is lovely, but I’ve just heard of a fabulous proposal story where the groom rented out a cinema and had the movie interrupted to run a slide show of he and his bride together before proposing and having the rest of the family come out from hiding. Such heartfelt thought!
