Good morning Dotties (Dot-ettes, Dotdotdots what do you prefer?) Did you have a lovely weekend? I’m looking forward to a big week on Polka Dot Bride!

Let’s kick off our week of wedding inspiration with a big shout out to the members of Ms Polka Dot’s Directory

Our directory members are very treasured. We want to raise the bar and they’re helping us do it! From Bridal Gowns to Cakes to Hair & Beauty and Styling & Hire. We are literally adding new vendors every week and not just any vendors, vendors who love polka dot bridettes and want to work with you on creating something really wonderful.

I’ve said it before, but I think a good celebrant is worth their weight in gold. Someone that listens and can understand the kind of ceremony you want – whether that is quick and relaxed or something a little more formal. This week’s vendor of the week Shannon Fleming Civil Celebrant is fantastic at what she does. Based out of Perth, Shannon performs wedding ceremonies, naming ceremonies and vow renewal ceremonies. Shannon places huge importance on understanding the couples she performs ceremonies for and the style of wedding they’re having. She understands how important marriage is and this is reflected in how she performs her ceremonies.

To get to know her we asked Shannon from Shannon Fleming Civil Celebrant five questions in five minutes –

What is your favourite after five drink?

Vodka.

Your favourite weekend getaway?

Bali – it’s so reasonable flying from Perth.

Favourite restaurant?

Clarkes of North Beach or Mum’s kitchen.

What can we find you eating for breakfast on a Sunday morning?

Scrambled Eggs & Bacon, or Bacon & Jarlsberg Croissants!

Your favourite wedding story?

He proposed once, she said no, 20 years later they ran into each other again, and he proposed then & there on the spot, and she said yes!
