As Australia rides the Coronacoaster together, we thought it fitting to stick close to home this August issue and celebrate all thing LOCAL on Polka Dot Honeymoons!

Going beyond Australia’s big towns and cities we’re pulling out the virtual road map and visiting regional and rural Australia, exploring hidden gems, tasting incredible indigenous ingredients and celebrating local produce, people and possibilities.

We’ll hear from regional wedding vendors from The Blue Mountains, Macedon Ranges and FNQ, invite you to local drinkeries and watering holes, talk locally sourced florals, gowns and styling and show you how you can support local wedding vendors who need us more than ever. It is truly their time to shine.

And golly do we have some  stunning rural and regional weddings to share with you, from the Yarra Valley, Margaret River and Claire Valley and beyond.

So head down to your local café, grab a coffee and a locally baked treat, then sit back and enjoy all that our country, off the beaten track has to offer.

Follow along for all the fun here.
