This #InternationalWomensDay, we're raising a glas This #InternationalWomensDay, we're raising a glass to the fierce, fabulous women who make our community what it is: the creatives reshaping this industry, those who fought for our rights, and the next generation pushing for change. Your strength and passion continue to inspire us!⁠ ⁠ Every year, we wrestle with what these commemorative days really mean for us. How do we celebrate love and weddings while acknowledging the heartbreaking injustices still happening around us? Where's the balance between showcasing beautiful love stories and making space for voices still fighting to be heard?⁠ ⁠ We don't have this all figured out, not even close. But here's what we do know: true representation, diversity, and inclusion remain works in progress, both in our corner of the wedding world and beyond. Sneaky unconscious biases have a way of sticking around, and far too many brilliant, creative voices from diverse backgrounds remain in the shadows.⁠ ⁠ At Polka Dot Wedding, we're set on changing that. Not just through pretty pictures and love stories, but in the nitty-gritty of how we operate: our team, our choices, our words. We want everyone (and we mean everyone) to rock up and see themselves reflected here, whether you're a couple planning your big day, a vendor sharing your craft, or just someone with wedding dreams. No matter your race, age, orientation, ability, or background, this is your space too.⁠ ⁠ This work is never finished, but progress happens when we listen, learn from our mistakes, and roll up our sleeves together. Today, we're tipping our hats to the women who've walked this road before us, those currently smashing glass ceilings and the little ones who'll one day take the reins. Even the smallest steps forward matter, they're all part of creating a more inclusive world for everyone.⁠ ⁠ In order of appearance:⁠ Photographer: @georgiawiggs / Photographer: @allmywednesdays / Photographer: @jonong / Photographer: @capturedby_kate⁠ ⁠ [Image descriptions in the comments.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #InternationalWomensDay2025 #IWD2025 #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingInspiration
Wedding flowers, but make them FUN!⁠ ⁠ Your we Wedding flowers, but make them FUN!⁠ ⁠ Your wedding reception is where the party truly begins, so why not fill it with floral designs that radiate joy? From bold colour palettes to playful touches like seasonal blooms, candles, and even fruit (yes, lemons and grapes can totally be part of your tablescape), Christina from Grumpy Flowers is sharing all the tips you need to create centrepieces that feel fresh, modern, and bursting with happiness. ⁠ ⁠ Head to the blog now for a dopamine hit of floral inspiration and start dreaming up your perfect wedding flowers!⁠ ⁠ Photography: @rosephotosau⁠ / Florals: @grumpyflowers_⁠ ⁠ [Image description: This image captures a joyful moment between a bride and her bridesmaids in an outdoor setting with lush greenery in the background. The bride, dressed in a sleek white gown with delicate straps, holds a bouquet of vibrant flowers while smiling. Her bridesmaids, wearing floral-patterned dresses in pastel tones, are laughing and holding their own colourful bouquets filled with peonies, dahlias, and other bright blooms. The atmosphere is lighthearted and celebratory, with a sense of movement as they enjoy the moment together. The natural backdrop enhances the romantic and whimsical feel of the scene.] ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #TheDopamineIssue #DopamineWedding #DopamineWeddigs #BrightWedding #RainbowWedding #ColorfulWedding #ColourfulWedding #FunWedding ⁠ #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingProfessional #WeddingInterview #WeddingFlowers ⁠
