"My advice for future couples would be to focus on "My advice for future couples would be to focus on what truly matters to you both. It's easy to get caught up in the details and expectations, but at the end of the day, it's about celebrating your love and commitment. Take time to enjoy each moment, especially the quiet ones, because those are often the most meaningful. Don't stress about things going perfectly - embrace the imperfections, as they often lead to the best memories."⁠ ⁠ Bride, Ash's heartfelt advice perfectly captures the essence of her and Hayden's beautiful wedding day – one filled with love, meaningful moments, and the joy of simply being present.⁠ ⁠ Read more about their heartfelt wedding in Mackay, Queensland, on Polka Dot You today.

Oh girl, it’s only just begun! Let’s whip up a day-after bash that’s equal parts fabulous and fun—with a cheeky hint of recovery, of course. Indulgent Food & Drink Stations: Recovery mode doesn’t mean skimping on the treats! Go for comfort foods with a boujee twist—think mini waffle stacks, gourmet sliders, and a Bloody Mary bar brimming with all the garnishes."⁠ ⁠ Image three description: text continues "Hangover Kits with a Twist: Forget the boring favours; recovery kits are where it’s at! Think mini eye masks, hydrating face mists, electrolyte drinks, and snacks. ⁠ Keep the Tunes Chill and the Vibes High: Think of it as your post-party soundtrack—a mix of mellow beats and throwback classics. Start with relaxed tunes as guests arrive, then ease into feel-good anthems and ‘90s hits. This isn’t the time to go wild, but a dance session or two after brunch is highly encouraged!"⁠ ⁠ Image four description: text continues "Self-Care Zones and Fun Extras⁠ For a truly luxe experience, set up a mini-spa station! Offer cooling eye masks, jade rollers, or even a massage therapist on call for some pampering. If you’re outdoors, toss in some gentle games—croquet, giant Jenga, or ring toss for a bit of light-hearted fun. It’s all about giving people options to relax or stay pleasantly entertained."
