***The Home Issue*** Make your at-home wedding a l ***The Home Issue*** Make your at-home wedding a little lovelier by whipping up a batch cocktail for your guests. We've got eight of our favourite recipes for you to try on the link in our bio!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ This pic? The Rosewater Kiss from the @whitelilycouture team⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A photo of a hand reaching for a cocktail on a gold metal tray, There are five glasses filled with a pale pink cocktail, ice, berries and mint leaves.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
When exactly did "tradition" in weddings turn into When exactly did "tradition" in weddings turn into such a dirty word?⁠ ⁠ When did it become something to cringe at? ⁠ ⁠ Tradition in weddings is everywhere- it's in the fact you walked down the aisle, it's in your wedding cake. It's in your tea ceremonies.⁠ It's even carrying a bouquet.⁠ ⁠ And there is something actually quite lovely about recreating the rituals that have been passed on from generation to generation. That those before you also went through.⁠ ⁠ Because let's be real, it isn't tradition that anyone really dislikes, it's the idea that you're doing rituals, and things at your wedding, that you really don't want to do, that you're really not a fan of, and doing them because you think you have to.⁠ ⁠ And if that's what we're really railing against? Then we're for sure jumping on that bandwagon. Your wedding completely needs to be what you want not what you think you should do. ⁠Let's stop shaming tradition, and instead embrace that whatever you choose for your wedding day, is perfect whether it's "traditional" or not.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Me? We ditched the separation the night before the wedding, we ditched the formal reception entrance, the garter and the bouquet toss. And for sure I was the last one on the dance floor. But there was a dance with my dad, there was a walk down the aisle, there was "something old, something new"⁠ and I loved it all.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ This bouquet, created by the oh so talented Adrienne of @gertrudejekyllstudio and captured by @immersephotographyaustralia Meet Adrienne on the link in our bio!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ x Ms Polka (Dorothy)⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A cropped photo of a bride in a white lace dress holding a bouquet, The bouquet of flowers includes dusky pink, cream and marsala roses with greenery.]⁠
