Here at Polka Dot Bride, we get to collaborate and celebrate the work of the very best in the Aussie wedding industry. The vendors we speak to are in the ‘hot seat’ of emerging trends, styles and unique ideas that are inspiring for engaged couples to have a look at. That’s why today we sat down with the lovely people at Bursaria Fine Foods to get the goss on what’s trending in the wedding industry right now. Pour yourself a cuppa and prepare to be inspired!

The standout floral installation

Our couples are opting to create an impact with a beautifully designed floral installation (usually above the dance floor). Just add some lights and the perfect ambience is created not only for when guests arrive to your reception but also to create that special atmosphere for the first dance!

A ceremony arbor with an abundance of florals

We have seen an increase in stunning florals adorning arbors for wedding ceremonies. It doesn’t matter the time of year or if your ceremony is inside or out… adding an abundance of seasonal flowers creates a dreamy backdrop for your wedding and is a trend that continues to impress!

A different way to celebrate with roving style catering

It’s the perfect way to mingle with your guests during your celebrations. Always popular and most definitely a trend, our couples are opting for our fresh and seasonal offerings with ‘roving’ style canapés or desserts and they find it helps to create a relaxed atmosphere where couples can mix with all their friends and family.
