Lily Markovski of @lillimarcs has been making wedd Lily Markovski of @lillimarcs has been making wedding gowns for over twenty years, and the part she still gets most excited about is the fabric.⁠ ⁠ She’s written us a guide to patterns in a wedding dress. It covers how Chantilly, Alençon and guipure lace differ, how much beading is enough, and what to do if lace isn’t your thing. ⁠ ⁠ Our favourite tip is for fittings? Sit, walk and have a dance in the gown before you decide, because some fabrics look gorgeous on the hanger and feel stiff once you’re in them.⁠ ⁠ Read it via the link in bio⁠!⁠ ⁠ Photo by @danielkukecphotos⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A bride stands in a shadowed room with white light pooling on her profile. Wearing a glittering fitted white gown and holding a bouquet of pink flowers.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #ThePatternIssue #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingInterview

Today's garden inspiration shoot is all about the art of a lingering alfresco celebration. ⁠ ⁠ Styled by @pearl_creative_, with florals by @wombathillflorist and the prettiest botanical linens, the tablescape is layered with fresh fruit, flowers, and candlelight.⁠ ⁠ If a relaxed garden celebration is on your inspiration board, this one is well worth a closer look!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @angelicajamesphotography / Styling: @pearl_creative_ / Venue: @leonardshill_estate / Content Creator: @mapleshoots / Flowers: @wombathillflorist / Invitations & Stationery: @timberwinkstudio / Accessories: @clothandconfettihire / Tableware: @plentiful.events⁠ ⁠ Image descriptions can be found in the comments. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #ThePatternIssue #PatternWedding #PatternWeddingInspo
Wedding on the weekend? Work trip on Monday? Dinne Wedding on the weekend? Work trip on Monday? Dinner plans straight after the office? Van Heusen is making a good case for a wardrobe that can do it all.⁠ ⁠ Introducing Tailored for Life, the new Spring/Summer '26 collection featuring travel-ready suiting, breathable shirts and smart casual staples designed for wherever the day takes you. And yes, there's even a suit that packs into its own laptop-sized travel bag.⁠ ⁠ We're taking a closer look at the new collection on Polka Dot Wedding.⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @manolocampion / Attire Retailer: @vanheusenau / Styling: @charlotte__stokes / Venue: Palm Beach & Sydney CBD⁠ ⁠ Image descriptions in the comments.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianFashion #WeddingInspiration #WeddingTailoring
After knowing and loving the work from @poppycultu After knowing and loving the work from @poppyculture_hq for years now, we couldn't think of anyone better to share their thoughts and expertise on patterns in wedding styling. ⁠ ⁠ They talk all things patterns for us: where pattern goes, how to build a colour palette from one source of inspiration, and how to keep a table bold and rich without becoming busy. ⁠ ⁠ Find the full story via the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ [Image description: on a teal text tile the following text reads "Pattern works when it's intentional and deliberate. Throwing more budget at it won't necessarily make it better." – Poppy Culture on How to Start With Pattern At Your Wedding."

Choosing your wedding makeup artist is a big call, Choosing your wedding makeup artist is a big call, so we asked @ashleymoralesmakeup for her advice. She’s been doing wedding makeup for more than 15 years, and she knows what makes a morning feel calm.⁠ ⁠ She talks through all the important stuff: why everyone should book a trial, why your artist should know what makeup you usually wear, and what helps it last all day. She also shares what to look for in the reviews before you book.⁠ ⁠ Full post with all her wonderful tips can be found at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo captured by @leileiclavey with @eventden_⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A model stands against a white wall, turned to the side, wearing a white satin plunge gown. She wears drop earrings and simple makeup that highlights her features, finished with a bold red lip.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingProfessional #WeddingInterview
Nina's dress is one we'll never get over, so it's Nina's dress is one we'll never get over, so it's back for The Pattern Issue!⁠ ⁠ She had dressmaker Laura draw up the pattern from scratch, using navy @neridahansenfabrics fabric with colourful brushstrokes that remind her of tulips.
