From the ‘inside word’ to industry advice and the latest trends, here is our inspirational list of very ‘wise and wonderful’ posts from Polka Dot Wisdom for 2016!
1. Five Minutes With…Amelia From Pictures and Hearts
“As cliched as it sounds, photography is powerful. It has the power to capture moments people don’t see and then being able to show them those moments, those angles… is a very rewarding achievement!”
2. Behind The Door With….The Brunswick Mess Hall
“Converted from an old masonic centre into a buzzy bar and restaurant, The Mess Hall has the feeling of a giant Noah’s ark with its jungle plants and pops of bright colour.”
3. How to Style A Rustic and Relaxed Wedding
“At The Farm Cafe, we love rustic styling because it provides endless opportunity to really focus on the things that are meaningful and beautiful, not just the things that are fashionable or trendy.”

4. What Would They Know? Matthew Evans of Matthew Evans Photography
“Shooting in new locations is one of the best things I can do as a wedding photographer as it really inspires my creativity and pushes me to create better work.”
5. A Visit To Julia Deville’s Subaqueous Locutorium
“Creating treasures in her studio at the same site for nearly a decade, the building has a diverse energy. Originally it was a button factory and the tenant prior to Julia who resided here for 30 years was an artist and tai chi master.”
6. Suiting Style Trends Across the Australian States
What is a groom in Victoria looking for? How different would that be if he lived in South Australia? The results, whilst helping InStitchu design their new season’s collections, are also a bit of fun!
7. What Would They Know? Magnus Agren of Magnus Agren Photography
“Not only do I get to capture couples’ wedding day, but I get to hang out with them too, through the pre wedding nerves, to the elation of the “I now pronounce you husband and wife” to the adventure of the location shoot, and then the fun and hilarity of the reception and its shenanigans. I arrive as the photographer, and leave with new friends.”
8. What Would They Know? Dan Brannan of Daniel Brannan
“My major mission is to make sure that my couples have the BEST day possible – the last thing any couple needs on their wedding day is more stress so I make sure that I am always a solution and never a problem. I’ve given lifts to bridal parties, fixed button holes and ironed shirts before!”
9. Favourite Songs To Walk Down The Aisle To
“When it comes to picking a song to walk down the aisle to, it can seem like there is an overwhelming number of options for you to choose from! The type of song you choose can really set the scene for what’s to come and should be a personal decision between you and your partner.”
10. What Would They Know? Jasmine Fraser of Jasmine Fraser
“My family has had a long history in the jewellery industry so I was exposed from a young age, but it was not until I was around 16 years old that I realised that I had an interest in jewellery manufacturing. My Great Grandparents owned a jewellery store and the tradition has continued since then.”
