“If you're with the right person, a wedding won' “If you're with the right person, a wedding won't change anything except how you do your taxes.” – @transwitcher ⁠ ⁠ If the sun and moon got married, we imagine it might look a little like this. ⁠ ⁠ Sav and Ash brought their celestial vision to the State Library of Victoria with embroidered suits, black-clad guests, silver circlets, old books, tarot cards and a first dance to Howl’s Moving Castle.⁠ ⁠ Their winter celebration is waiting for you on Polka Dot Featured.⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @jeromecole / Groom's Attire: @reignerclothing / Catering: @thebiggroup / Decor: @weddingsofdistinction / Venue: @library_vic / Wedding Cake: @missladybirdcakes / DJ: @melbentco / Harpist: @melbourneharppiano / Dance Lessons: @first.dance.melbourne / Ceremony Officiant: @tietheknotwithtom / Transport: @enriklimousines / Accessories: @fortuitus / Nails: @missjaysnailsandbeauty / Cinematographer: @claires_arms / Hair & Makeup Artist: @katemcclearyhairandmakeup / Wedding Ring: @oium_ukraine / Engagement Ring: @sunsarajewellery / Groom's Shoes: @gripfastboots / Hair Accessories: elvenstardesign / Hairdresser and Colour: @mamawest_ / Post Wedding Tattoos: @taurusteej.tattoos⁠ ⁠ Image descriptions can be found in the comments. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #TheGardenIssue #WhimsicalWedding #StateLibraryOfVictoria⁠
Everyone talks about the wedding day. Almost nobod Everyone talks about the wedding day. Almost nobody talks about the Tuesday six months later.⁠ ⁠ Nicola Bodle of @foxandkin spent years photographing weddings before retraining as a somatic sexologist, and she's got a pretty unique vantage point on what actually happens to a relationship once the confetti's swept up.⁠ ⁠ Dopamine spikes through planning. Then the wedding ends and so does the novelty. Suddenly you're scrolling side by side in bed instead of reaching for each other, and wondering where the spark went.⁠ ⁠ Nicola's take: it's not that something's wrong. It's a transition, and there are real ways through it.⁠ ⁠ Full piece on staying curious, planning novel experiences, and keeping intimacy alive over on the blog. Link in bio.⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: Mustard yellow quote tile from Polka Dot Wedding reading: "Why do all the little things you used to find adorable now kind of irritate you?"⁠ ⁠ Image two description: Mustard yellow quote tile from Polka Dot Wedding reading: "You notice yourselves scrolling side by side in bed each night, instead of ripping each other's clothes off."⁠ ⁠ Image three description: Mustard yellow quote tile from Polka Dot Wedding reading: "Oh god, what is happening!? Where has the spark gone!?" Attributed to Nicola Bodle, from the piece "Keeping The Spark Alive After Your Wedding Day Ends."]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingProfessional

Nobody talks about what happens after the wedding. Nobody talks about what happens after the wedding. After months of planning, anticipation and excitement, suddenly the day you’ve been waiting for is over. For some couples, the quiet that follows can feel surprisingly difficult.⁠ ⁠ You can have had the most incredible wedding day and still feel flat afterwards. You can be grateful, happy and excited for married life, and still miss the anticipation of what was.⁠ ⁠ On Polka Dot Wisdom, relationship therapist @amandalambros explores the post-wedding blues, why they happen and how couples can navigate this transition with a little more understanding and compassion.⁠ ⁠ Read more via the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A couple holds hands while walking together after their wedding.
