“Wedding planning can be stressful, and it’s e “Wedding planning can be stressful, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of taking that out on each other.

When stationery designer Natalie of @atactileperce When stationery designer Natalie of @atactileperception began planning her own wedding with Evan, she knew one thing for certain - it had to reflect not just their love, but the joining of their blended family.⁠ ⁠ Instead of following trends, Natalie and Evan chose traditions and rituals that carried real meaning. Their children took part in a ring-warming ceremony, leaving silent wishes for the family’s future, and together they created a fingerprint family tree that now hangs proudly in their home. Even their stationery told a story! Natalie painted seven symbolic elements, representing each member of their family.⁠ ⁠ From skipping the wedding cake in favour of a gelato cart, to involving their children at every step, their day was a celebration of unity, individuality, and love.⁠ ⁠ Head over to Polka Dot Wisdom today to see how Natalie blended her talents as a designer with her journey as a bride, and discover inspiration for curating a wedding that feels true to you.⁠ ⁠ Photography: @allie.claire.creative ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A bride and groom stand hand in hand under a modern white circular wedding arbour adorned with vibrant pink, red, and blush florals.

The ceremony takes place outdoors at a vineyard, with rows of grapevines and rolling hills in the background, creating a romantic and picturesque setting.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingProfessional #WeddingInterview #TheTraditionsIssue #WeddingTraditions #ModernWedding #CulturalWeddings #InclusiveWeddings #WeddingInspo
