I realise there hasn’t been much talk of Christmas on Polka Dot Bride this year- no pretty pictures, no creative ideas… instead I’ve been focusing on weddings while in real life running around like I always do and making sure that Christmas is going to be pretty darn good!

So with the last official post of the year (I’ll be back with my traditional New Years Eve countdown!) I thought I better pay homage to the season that I adore with a special twist on a wedding inspiration board. This one is a little sparkly and could even be used as party inspiration. I really love the idea of it for a wedding though – it’s daring and bold and full of celebratory touches – you know these guests aren’t going to go home early!

I have been dying to use the Oreo cake photo for ages and the sparklers set off a festive feel. Pair it with sequined dresses, champagne from old fashioned saucers, metallics everywhere and lots of festive music.
