You see it everywhere: wedding blogs, captions, ev You see it everywhere: wedding blogs, captions, even marketing blurbs. “No boring weddings.” It is meant to appeal to couples who want to feel different, quirky, offbeat.⁠ ⁠ But honestly, what does that even mean?⁠ ⁠ Two people standing up and saying “this is it, you’re my person” is a milestone, a turning point, the start of something entirely new. Whether it happens in a backyard or a grand old hall, whether it is rowdy or quiet, messy or perfectly planned… there is nothing dull about that.⁠ ⁠ Maybe we are missing the point if we are only calling something “not boring” because it fits a trend or feels made for the algorithm. The moments that matter most, the giggles mid-ceremony, the quiet glances, the ordinary made extraordinary, those are never boring.⁠ ⁠ So who gets to decide what is inspiring? What if “boring” is actually where the good stuff lives? What if we stopped worrying about packing the day with stunts or proving how different it is, and simply trusted that saying “yes” is enough.⁠ ⁠ No boring weddings.⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A red background with the Polka Dot Wedding logo at the bottom in white with text in the centre of the graphic reading: "NO BORING WEDDINGS".]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding #BoringWeddings #NoBoringWeddings #BoringWeddingPhotos
