It’s been almost three years since we launched our new look site and three years since we expanded with our five specialty blogs. We said from the start these spaces were all about you. While Ms Gingham and I pop in every now and then, the content is driven by our couples, our vendors – you. We’re looking for more stories, couples and vendors who want to share their insights with us and the Australian (and international) wedding communities.
We all have stories about things that excite us, places that take our breath away, a hidden gem, a heartfelt experience – all waiting to be told. Some stories are just meant to be told – do you have one that you’d like to share?
Our content manager, Ms Gingham works steadily with our wonderful contributors to craft beautiful posts and bring your stories to life.
For Polka Dot Groom, We’re looking for grooms who would like to share their wedding days, their engagements, their stories. We’re especially interested in finding a few grooms who are planning on marrying this year or next to share their wedding planning journeys (from engagement to planning to the wedding day story) with us and our readers. We’re also looking for real wedding stories written by grooms! Style articles, posts about great shops with male appeal that you have discovered, your proposal story or your pre wedding celebration story. Are you a best man or a father of the groom with something to say? We’d love to hear from you too!
Polka Dot Honeymoons is the place to get away, the place we think of when we’re a bit tired of the wedding. The part we love most about Polka Dot Honeymoons is the real life honeymoon stories (because it is one thing to see a resort’s website and quite another to read how it really was, and what that view from your over water bungalow really gave you! We’re also looking for real hotel, tour and activity reviews, mini-moons/destinations, great weekend short break places – in fact anything that makes us dream of places near and far! If you’ve been on the holiday of a lifetime or a short getaway and would like to share it (even if it wasn’t your honeymoon trip) we’d love to hear from you too!
Polka Dot Made is the place for wedding related tutorials with an Australian twist. We’re looking to showcase brand new ideas, tutorials and projects to inspire our couples. We’re looking mainly for step by step tutorials for beautiful projects, inspiring ideas you can make at home using craft supplies from Australian suppliers. You will need to be able to take simple photos for your tutorial and have an eye for clean, uncluttered detailing. Do you have a creative streak just waiting for the right forum to showcase it – then this is for you!
Polka Dot Weddings has such a special place in our hearts- the stories our brides tell are raw, real and honest. We’re looking for real wedding stories, real engagement stories and we’re especially looking for a few brides who would like to share their journeys with us- from the engagement, to choosing bridesmaids, to the craft projects, the dress shopping, the trials, the fun bits, the oh so hard bits and of course- the culmination of it all, the wedding! MsProcrastin8 is marrying in November and Miss T just passed her one year anniversary, so we’d love to have brides join us who are planning 2013/2014 weddings!
Polka Dot Wisdom is a little like wedding university, except it’s the kind of university where you catch up for a cup of coffee with your favourite wedding vendor and learn the stuff that nobody tells you. Such as….. that it helps to have the groom wear a lapel microphone during the ceremony if you’re having it filmed, or what “load-in” means, or that photographers can literally spend 40-50 hours working on your wedding. It’s also a great place to get to know your wedding vendor with many sharing their favourite things. This is a place for all wedding vendors to pass on their advice and knowledge and get to know some of the couples that will need their services. Kind of like a meet and greet if you like!
The Polka Dot Blogs don’t censor much, we have a certain aesthetic and work hard at providing inspiration content for all budgets, all locations (with a focus on Australia!) and honouring the stories of the couples who work with us. We strive to share heart and soul.
Unfortunately at this time we are not accepting posts with placeholder text, sales posts or posts written purely for SEO reasons. We’re not looking for a sales and marketing pitch, we’re looking for real people sharing real stories and real knowledge. Please ensure the posts you submit are original work not published elsewhere and that every image is fully credited.
