“Everything takes longer than you expect. Trust “Everything takes longer than you expect. Trust your instincts. Don’t overcomplicate it. And remember – nothing is more important than being present with the people you love.” – @ellenygson & @nicashvin ⁠ ⁠ When it came to planning their wedding, Nic and Ellen knew they wanted it to be three things: simple, honest and laid-back. ⁠ ⁠ And they created exactly that with their barn wedding in Woodend. With a handmade feel, DIY styling and a beautifully chaotic Korean karaoke session to end out the night – it was the wedding of their dreams. ⁠ ⁠ See it now over on Polka Dot Featured!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @whysogeneric / Flowers: @woodendflowerfarm / Wedding Arch: NP Carpentry & Construction⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: Sitting in the afternoon sun, this pair of newlyweds is laughing together, with guests out of focus in the background. The bride is wearing a fluttery white dress with a flower crown in her hair, resting her hand on her groom's thigh. He's wearing a short-sleeved white shirt with a bow tie and linen pants, leaning in to her as he catches his breath. ⁠ ⁠ Image two description: As the bride and groom sign their papers at the ceremony, a guest stands behind the bride in a lilac dress, laughing brightly.⁠ ⁠ Image three description: Two guests watch the wedding unfold around them, holding wine glasses as they lean into each other. The guest on the left wears a simple black dress with an updo, while the guest on the right wears a loose suit with a cropped T-shirt underneath, resting their head against their friend's shoulder.⁠ ⁠ Image four description: A closeup of the bride's bouquet, full of pink, orange and white dahlias and spikey greenery.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WoodendWedding #BarnWedding #KoreanKaraoke #WeddingKaraoke #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding

Golden hour in a glass? Absolutely.⁠ ⁠ This co Golden hour in a glass? Absolutely.⁠ ⁠ This cocktail is basically all our favourite parts of a wedding in one go: a bit of sparkle, a little sweetness, and just the right amount of gold. Whiskey, lemon, honey, ginger ale, and yes, a gold citrus slice from @mixso_moments because we love a bit of bling.⁠ ⁠ Perfect for New Year’s Eve, weddings, or honestly, just that weird “what day even is it?” week. If you shake one up, tag us – we want to see.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for the full recipe!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: ⁠A tall glass filled with a golden-brown cocktail sits on a marble or stone board.
