It’s safe to say when it comes to picking themes for the pages of Polka Dot Wedding, choosing one that aligned with our team’s favourite spotty pattern was a no brainer. Celebrating a milestone 15 year Polka Dot Wedding “birthday” meant we were feeling pretty sentimental about the old polka dot and were pretty excited at the prospect of covering the pages of our blog with dotty wedding ideas & tips and showcasing weddings with a polka dot theme or element. And as always, celebrate the incredible Australian wedding vendors who bring all your wedding dreams to life – including polka dot dreams! We’re excited to bring you our February theme – POLKA DOTS!

When incorporating polka dots into your wedding, it is our firm opinion that the dottier the better is the way to go. But that is the wonderful thing about this particularly lovely pattern, you can go big or go small – it’s your day and how you cover it in dots is up to you! This theme can fit seamlessly in with many others. Love colour and rainbows – go colourful and create a confetti of colourful dots! More a minimalist in style & colour palette? Monochrome with black and white dots is so striking & simple. Neutral coloured dots can keep things understated and earthy. Pretty pastel dots can create a lovely, whimsical vibe to your “I Do’s”. And for the glam, luxe couple? Dots in hues of gold and silver will create an electric backdrop to your day. A dot for every couple, really! And that’s just colour palette! Using dots throughout your day is easy and so effective – in decor, wedding attire, catering, cakes & desserts, cocktails, stationery!

On the Polka pages this month you’ll find an abundance of dotty details that will have you seeing… well… dots for days! Polka Dot Made gets a workout with some delicious treats from Ms Polka herself, and Ms Honeycomb brings her DIY talents to dotty decor and favours. Our Wisdom and Featured blogs have an array of polka dot theme advice & inspiration – confetti at weddings, polka dot attire trends, polka dot cakes & desserts, florals for a polka dot theme, and much more! And who can forget our stunning real weddings – always full of love, always full of wonderful ideas for your wedding planning and, in February’s case, covered in dreamy polka dots!

We can’t wait to share The Polka Dot Issue with you! Enjoy!
