I am personally extremely excited for this month’s issue at Polka Dot Wedding. A long-time fan of the stunning landscape, the generous and gorgeous people, and the incredible fresh cuisine, these are just a few things that make New Zealand an absolute knockout of a country. Trust me – once August is done, you too will be chomping at the bit to jump on a plane and get there as fast as you can (if you weren’t already!).

To kick start our specialty blog content for the month, as is tradition, we begin with an on-theme roundup of previous Polka Dot features. Today’s weddings are either set in New Zealand or are located in Australia with nods to traditions from Māori culture. Sit back and enjoy “New Zealand & Cultural Weddings From The Polka Dot Past!” for some of our most sensational New Zealand theme weddings as part of our New Zealand Issue!
