Rustic Barn Wedding

Sian & Brendan’s Rustic Barn Wedding On The Gold Coast Photo by Bella Amante

As another short week rolls by (on ANZAC Day, Lest We Forget), I am writing this “on location” in sunny Perth. Yes, a movable office is the Polka Dot way! It has, as per usual, been a huge week, with a lot happening behind-the-scenes and in preparation for the months ahead. Expect some exciting things on the horizon – you’ll have to take my word for it of course, but I promise, it’ll be worth the wait!

There have been some gorgeous offerings on our specialty blogs this week, so sit back and take it all in with the lovely roundup!
