Groom Style – Josh

24.01.14
Groom Style

I am quite the fan of a navy suit, and a sharply cut one from David Jones, as sported by Groom Josh, is a total winner. This suit, along with a blush pink tie, suited Josh and Oriana’s Intimate Hinterland Wedding to a tea.

Heat, wind, and full sun are the ultimate test for Heat, wind, and full sun are the ultimate test for any wedding florist!⁠ ⁠ An alfresco wedding sounds dreamy, but for your flowers, it can be a whole different story.

Our friends at @primpetalco share expert advice on choosing hardy blooms, keeping everything hydrated, and ensuring your floral installations stand strong against the elements.⁠ ⁠ Read the full story on Polka Dot Wisdom today via the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A stunning outdoor wedding arbour adorned with lush, native-inspired florals.
