Do you have to stick to tradition when it comes to Do you have to stick to tradition when it comes to your wedding stationery? Not even close. Natalie from @atactileperception shares her favourite thing about designing for couples: there are no rules. Pick your colours, play with design, or start from scratch - it’s all about what feels right for you. Forget what’s “expected.” The best stationery is the kind that feels like yours. Head to the link in our bio to meet Natalie and see more of her beautiful stationery. Cover image captured by @fotogenica_wp [Video description: Natalie’s hands fold a red invitation while “Flower Child” by Kasey Musgraves plays. Natalie says, “One thing I wish every couple knew before ordering wedding stationery is that you can create an invitation suite that suits you perfectly. You can choose from a range of semi-custom designs and change all the colours, or you have the option to go custom. We can work together to create exactly what you want easily.”] #PolkaDotWedding #ATactilePerception #WeddingStationery #AustralianWeddings #WeddingInspo #StationeryDesign #WeddingPlanning #ModernWedding #WeddingInvitations #CustomStationery #WeddingIdeas #WeddingCreatives

From dried flowers to doughnut vans, cats to family-made details, every part of the day was filled with love.⁠ ⁠ And it's now live over on Polka Dot Featured!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @danibartlettphotography / Bride's Dress: @teutamatoshi / Venue: @sunshinesocial / Ceremony Officiant & DJ: @melbourne_cityside_celebrant / Audio Visual: @loverphotobooth / Hair & Makeup Artist: @laurieboring⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: A couple walking together outdoors on grass.

In a world full of pings and pixels, there’s som In a world full of pings and pixels, there’s something undeniably special about holding a wedding invitation, RSVP card, or vow booklet in your hands. These aren’t just pieces of paper, they’re keepsakes. The kind of treasures that end up tucked away in shoeboxes, discovered years later, and instantly remind you that the day really mattered.⁠ ⁠ For our Traditions Issue, stationery artist and illustrator Kirsty Wyatt of @forkeepsillustration shares why stationery is far more than aesthetic. It’s about intention, meaning, and marking your love story in a way that lasts.⁠ ⁠ Kirsty describes how stationery sets the tone for your wedding and leaves behind a legacy that can’t be deleted from the cloud.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read the full feature on Polka Dot Wisdom today. ⁠ ⁠ Photography: @forkeepsillustration⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A flatlay featuring vintage-inspired wedding details.
