“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”– Frances Hodgson Burnett

Weddings are exceptionally good at harnessing the power of the ever exquisite flower. Stunning to gaze upon, with a delicious fragrance, flowers really are a symbol of love and beauty from the natural world – what better styling element could you add to your wedding day?  Whether you choose to keep things in the floral department simple & elegant, or abundant & luxe, as long as you stay true to yourself as a couple, they will always steal the show! (Second, after the happy couple, of course!) The possibilities are endless and divine. And to showcase all the wedding industry has to offer when it comes to flowers for your wedding day, we’ve decided to make the month of September at Polka Dot Wedding The Flowers Issue!

Spring has sprung and we are in full bloom over here at PDW! True, it is a daily occurrence for our team, and our dear readers, to gaze upon the glory of wedding flowers, but we have truly hit the jackpot with all the floral-related content we have coming your way. We’re not going to lie – this is a packed issue (even down to The Flowers Issue playlist here)!

Our Featured blog is overflowing with floral-inspired weddings, love shoots & inspiration that will fill any flower-loving enthusiast’s heart full to bursting! The Made blog is making a beautiful comeback with our divine Ms. Honeycomb creating some stunning DIYs for your to harness & make your own for your day, as well as a little something special from one of our directory members – Natalie from A Tactile Perception – for those wanting to try their hand at some floral origami for the big day. Polka Dot Honeymoons is showering you with ideas for where to head on your honeymoon if you are a true flower lover (did anyone say… tulips?!). And the Wisdom blog is bursting with features to help couples plan the florals on their day in their own way, with tips about budgeting, how to be more eco-friendly with your flower choices, how to know your flowers by season & what each bloom symbolises (so you can truly make flowers a personal choice at our wedding), and MUCH much more!

We’re blooming excited to share this issue with you. Whether you’re a flower lover or not, after this month’s theme issue, you’ll find yourself swept up in the breathless romance & wonder of wedding flowers. Without further ado, we give you, The Flowers Issue…
