A trend we’ve been loving lately? Couples creati A trend we’ve been loving lately? Couples creating their own wedding newspapers and magazines! A wedding like Jermaine and Josh's day deserved its own shoutout. ⁠ ⁠ Jermaine took the idea to the next level, packing their magazine with photos from their pre-wedding shoot in Singapore, fun facts, intros to the wedding party, family shoutouts, and even a custom crossword puzzle for guests to enjoy.⁠ ⁠ See all the sweet, cheeky moments at the link in bio!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @jonong⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: Sitting on a white round table at the entrance to the ceremony space is a pile of magazines titled "Josh & Jermaine" with a cool shot of the couple on the cover. One magazine stands up and surrounds a couple of lilies.⁠ ⁠ Image two description: The newlyweds themselves are sitting on a metal staircase, holding their magazines open and peaking out at each other over the tops.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #WeddingDetails #UniqueDetails #WeddingDetail #NewlywedMagazine #WeddingMagazine #NewlywedNewspaper #WeddingNewspaper

If you’ve ever scrolled through a wedding forum, If you’ve ever scrolled through a wedding forum, you’ll know there’s one phrase that pops up time and time again: “Does anyone have a recommendation for a X vendor? Preferably one that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.”⁠ ⁠ And look, we get it – nobody wants to overpay for anything, especially when it comes to weddings. But here’s what’s worth keeping in mind:⁠ Your budget isn’t someone else’s.⁠ ⁠ Everyone has a different idea of what’s “cheap” or “expensive.” What seems outrageous to you might be totally reasonable to someone else, and vice versa. What’s a priority in your wedding budget is going to be different to your neighbour's.⁠ ⁠ Weddings cost more than you think.⁠ ⁠ Obvious? Maybe. But when you start planning a wedding, you’re learning all the costs from scratch, and that’s hard. It’s easy to look at a service and think, “That’s a lot for one day,” but like any creative industry, there’s a LOT that goes into the final product you’re seeing. So yes, it might be difficult to find that dream service you saw on Instagram at a fraction of the cost, because that price might not match the level of quality you're hoping for.⁠ ⁠ Wedding budgets vary wildly.⁠ ⁠ A wedding in a rural shed with 40 guests? That will look very different, cost-wise, to a wedding in the middle of a city with a high-end restaurant reception, even if both have 40 guests.⁠ ⁠ Oh, and if you’re wondering why certain things cost what they do, we’ve got you. Our wedding budget breakdown series is rolling out as we speak. Photography is live now, and we’ve got celebrants, cakes, and every other vendor type coming soon (this one’s a big project, friends!). Link in bio!⁠ ⁠ Weddings, budgets, and price tags always cop a bit of heat (seriously, just check the comments section on any major article about weddings). But the more we talk about what things really cost, the easier it is to plan and spend without the shock factor.⁠ ⁠ [Image description: a blue background with text that reads "an arm and a leg...]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #WeddingBudget #WeddingCost #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingProfessional
