In 1974, Babs Streisand iconically crooned the tune “Memories light the corners of our minds.” And as we could all do with a little lightening up in these strange times, Polka Dot Wisdom is dedicating the month of May to the celebration of sentimental and everlasting memories- today we’re introducing The Memories issue.

Sounds lovely but what are memories? I hear you ask. Our memories are the special moments we capture and treasure. Those we preserve and those we create. Out memories are the stories that fill the albums and film reels of our hearts. They are our way of looking back at “…the way we were” in order to inspire our future.

We can’t wait to reminisce over the decades gone by and reflect upon the trends and customs of weddings. What did we love? What did our parents do? Will ruffle shirts ever be back in fashion? (Oh please can they!?) And, what can we re-invent?

We’re shooting the breeze with innovative filmmakers and videographers, the very masters of capturing memories. We’ve got you covered with expert tips on how to best preserve your new gown or restore your mums old one, as well chatting about how to honour the memory of those we had loved and lost. We’re also looking at stunning dried and preserved florals that, like your memories, will last forever.
