Orange was a slow-burn favourite this year – ter Orange was a slow-burn favourite this year – terracotta accents, sunlit petals, glowing glassware, and warm details that wrapped celebrations in radiance.⁠ ⁠ Across our 2025 features, it showed up softly, boldly, and in every shade in between.⁠ ⁠ Photographers in order of appearance: @gretawolzakweddings / @georgiawiggs / @georgiawiggs / @brenton_cox / @gretawolzakweddings⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: ⁠a close-up of the beautiful details from this orange lehenga, including the stunning gold jewellery.⁠ ⁠ Image two description: ⁠This pair of almost-newlyweds stands in front of a window, creating a sparkle effect as the sunlight dances off the bride's orange gown.

It’s that time of year, so let’s do it: Polka It’s that time of year, so let’s do it: Polka Dot Wedding’s Top Weddings of 2025. The twist? Every single one made the list. Sharing your wedding day with the world takes guts. Letting us tell your story is a huge act of trust, and it’s something we never take for granted. So we don’t pick favourites and you won’t find us making “best of” lists. For every couple who feels that little thrill seeing their day “make it,” there is another who might wonder why theirs didn’t. We just don’t believe in making those kinds of calls. So here is our honest list: every single wedding story we published this year, well over 130 of them. Every one is our favourite. Every story is special. Every couple deserves to be celebrated. Thank you to all the couples and vendors who let us be part of your memories this year. We are grateful for every single one. There are too many photographers to credit here, but you will find all these weddings and their dream teams linked on Polka Dot Wedding. If you want us to point you to a particular one, just ask. [Reel Description: The reel opens with a blue title screen that reads, “Polka Dot Wedding’s Top Weddings of 2025,” in white text. The video then transitions into a fast-paced montage, showing short clips and photos from every single wedding story featured on Polka Dot Wedding throughout the year. The visuals highlight laughter, hugs, unique moments, candid smiles, and joyful scenes. Each one represents a real wedding shared on the blog in 2025. The reel closes with two blue screens. The first reads, “Thank you to each of the 130+ couples and vendors we featured this year.” The final screen simply says, “It was an honour.”]
Consider this our year-in-review: the rainbow edit Consider this our year-in-review: the rainbow edition.⁠ ⁠ Today’s shade: Red! Rich florals, lacquered lips, berry-toned tablescapes and those quiet, breathtaking moments where colour did the storytelling.⁠ ⁠ In every 2025 wedding it touched, red brought depth, romance, and a certain kind of cinematic intensity.⁠ ⁠ A shade that never whispered – it glowed.⁠ ⁠ Photographers in order of appearance: @capturedby_kate / @photogerson / @aroha.stories / @annecooperphotography / @itsbeautifulhere⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: ⁠A spicy margarita coupe tower, with each glass covered in a chilli rim, decorated with a red hot chilli sitting in the liquid.⁠ ⁠ Image two description: ⁠A close-up of the groom and one of his groomsmen's kilts, long socks and grey sporrans. ⁠ ⁠ Image three description: ⁠This couple cuddles on a white bench, with the groom wearing white attire, while his bride wears a bright red outfit.⁠ ⁠ Image four description: ⁠A groom spinning his red farm bike, creating smoke on the red-lined road with red trees. Red cans hang off the end of this "just married" bike.⁠ ⁠ Image five description: ⁠A cake sits in the centre of a dessert table, with red and pink vintage-style icing piped delicately along the edges.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #RedWeddings #RedWedding #RedDetails #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding

Our 2025 chapter has come to a close – a year wo Our 2025 chapter has come to a close – a year woven with love stories, creativity, connection, and those small glimmers that carried us through!⁠ ⁠ As we step into a slower season, we’re wishing you long exhale moments, gentle celebrations, and space to savour time with the ones who matter most.⁠ ⁠ Thank you for every story you trusted us with and every moment you shared in this community. We’re endlessly grateful.⁠ ⁠ We’ll still be popping in with some colourful round-ups and holiday inspo, and we can’t wait to relive some magic with you.⁠ ⁠ Here’s to rest, renewal, and all that 2026 has waiting.⁠ ⁠ With love,⁠ The Polka Dot Team⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @berrystudioau⁠ ⁠ [Image description: a shot of a tablescape with someone cracking a Christmas cracker filled with confetti, that flies across the table mid-shot.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #HappyHolidays #CheersToThat #SeeYouNextYear #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding
It’s giving festive. It’s giving fruity. It’ It’s giving festive. It’s giving fruity. It’s giving… “someone’s about to get engaged at Christmas lunch.” ⁠ ⁠ Cocktail Friday returns with a Christmas-kissed gin creation from Jin Bar at the @dorsettmelbourne, a gorgeous mix of berries, botanicals and holiday sparkle.⁠ ⁠ Save this one for your holiday party, proposal dinner, girls’ night, or the moment you reveal a shiny new ring over dessert.⁠ ⁠ If your December is filled with reasons to celebrate (and if you’re here, it probably is!), this one deserves a spot on your menu.⁠ ⁠ Cheers to love, laughter, and cocktails that taste like holiday joy!⁠ ⁠ Photography: @dorsettmelbourne⁠ ⁠ [Image description: Two festive pink cocktails sit on a round marble table with a brushed gold edge, each served in a coupe glass with a frothy white top and a small rosemary sprig garnish. Behind them, a lush Christmas-inspired arrangement of greenery and pinecones adds a seasonal touch. The background is softly blurred, with warm golden bokeh lights, including a small, out of focus Christmas tree, creating a cosy, celebratory atmosphere.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #PolkaDotMade #Cocktail #Cocktails #AustralianCocktails #CocktailFriday #Drinks #CocktailRecipe #CocktailRecipes #ItsCocktailOclock #WeddingBlog
As we wrap up 2025, we’re ready to let go of all As we wrap up 2025, we’re ready to let go of all the noise - pressure for perfection, endless comparisons, and that voice asking, “Is this good enough?” We’re especially saying goodbye to the grind of chasing algorithms and the FOMO that comes with it. People pleasing and performative moments have crowded out what really matters in weddings for too long. In 2026, we want to see more joy. Not just the polished kind, but the loud, messy, beautifully unscripted moments that make weddings feel real. We’re making more room for laughter, for genuine connection, for those moments you’ll actually remember long after the day. If you’re looking for permission to do your wedding your way, this is it. Let what matters to you take centre stage and let go of the rest. Your wedding is enough, truly. Images used in this reel 1. Sneha & Mubiana captured by @fotogenica_wp 2.
