“We really wanted everyone to have fun, and the “We really wanted everyone to have fun, and the day to be about all our love stories.” ⁠– @zozo0825 & @brendanjames94⁠ ⁠ Zoe & Brendan's Mackay wedding was full of joy, creativity, and connection – a celebration where every detail had meaning. From signing their marriage certificates on each other’s backs to DIY disco decor, guest portrait keepsakes, and walking the aisle with their mums, this wedding was anything but traditional, and we loved every second of it.⁠ ⁠ See more from Zoe & Brendan’s Fun and Romantic DIY Wedding on Polka Dot You – link in bio!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @alyceholzy / Accommodation: @oceansbarandrestaurant / Catering: @oceansbarandrestaurant / Flowers: #StarcutFlowers / Makeup Artist: @tamarabrownmakeup / Wedding Cake: @sprinklesandlovecakes / Musicians: #TunesbyShanksy / Bridal Salon: @breeswildflower_hair_boutique ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: The image shows a joyful couple walking hand-in-hand on a paved road, likely on their wedding day. The bride is wearing a short white dress with voluminous puff sleeves and a long veil trailing behind her. She holds a bouquet of white and green flowers and wears white platform heels. The groom is dressed in a dark green suit with a black shirt and tie, and a small white boutonnière on his lapel. Both are smiling at each other affectionately. Behind them is a classic yellow car decorated with white ribbons, suggesting it was used for their wedding. Lush green trees form a beautiful natural backdrop, and the lighting suggests it is late afternoon or early evening, casting a warm and romantic glow over the scene.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding #Mackay ⁠ #DIYWeddingDecor #DIYWeddingIdeas #WeddingDayInspo⁠ #WeddingDayInspiration #DIYWeddingsAustralia #DIYWedding #GettingMarried #QueenslandWedding
