“You can plan for every single thing on the day, “You can plan for every single thing on the day, but sometimes things are not going to go to plan.” – @hayleytippetts⁠ ⁠ Love that crosses continents withstands years apart, and leads to the most beautiful I do moment?⁠ ⁠ That's exactly what this intimate wedding was all about. From a surprise yacht proposal to a celebration filled with laughter, love, and incredible details – this wedding is one you don't want to miss!⁠ ⁠ Read more on Polka Dot Featured now!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @dreamcave__ / Bride's Dress: @luvbridal / Bride's Shoes: @baredfootwear / Alterations: @bridaltailors / Alterations: @finalfitting_ / DJ: @djclaudiaallegro / Flowers: @marynormabotanicals / Groom's Attire: @politixmenswear / Groom's Tie & Bowties: @peggyandfinn / Guestbook: @offthehook.au / Hair & Makeup Artist: @heartandsoulbridal / Photo Booth: @photoboxco / Reception Venue: @farmviganoweddings / Wedding Cake: @sweetbakes_⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: Standing outside a white building with yellow and white striped curtains and awnings, this couple are kissing.

When it comes to wedding budgets in Australia, we When it comes to wedding budgets in Australia, we know there's a lot of confusion. "I want a vendor who doesn't charge the earth!" says one couple. "But what do vendors actually charge?" asks another.⁠ ⁠ Let's address the elephant in the room – the infamous "wedding tax" that appears in every news article comment section. ⁠ ⁠ Here's the truth: wedding professionals are small business owners who bring years of expertise, premium equipment, and countless hours of preparation to create your perfect day. It's not just about the hours they spend at your wedding – it's about the skill, experience, and dedication they bring to every celebration.⁠ ⁠ That's why we're launching a new series that puts actual numbers on the table. We're interviewing wedding vendors from every specialty across Australia, letting the experts themselves break down their costs. They'll share typical price ranges, explain what affects their pricing, detail payment schedules, and even offer smart tips for couples working with smaller budgets.⁠ ⁠ First up? We're diving into wedding photography with insights from our expert panel: @jackchauvelphoto, @brettscapinphotography, Kathy of @k3photographywedding (Newcastle and Hunter Valley), David Stowe of @society_photo (Sydney), and Katrina Lopete (Melbourne) of @katlopretephotography . ⁠ [Image description: a navy background with text that reads: "What does wedding photography cost in Australia?" with the Polka Dot Wedding logo sitting at the bottom centre.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding #WeddingVendors #WeddingCosts
