For #InternationalWomensDay, we're celebrating the For #InternationalWomensDay, we're celebrating the women who make weddings what they are.⁠ ⁠ The bridesmaids fluffing dresses and fixing veils, the mums and grandmothers holding hands and sharing stories, the friends who show up with tissues, sneak snacks in their bags, and absolutely own the dance floor.⁠ ⁠ And the incredible women behind the scenes, the photographers, florists, celebrants, planners and makers who pour their whole hearts into someone else's best day.⁠ ⁠ Days like today remind us that while weddings are a women-dominated industry in so many ways, it doesn't always reflect the full diversity of who women are. At Polka Dot Wedding, we actively look for stories that include different cultures and backgrounds, different ages and body types, disability and chronic illness, and LGBTQIA+ women and communities. There's always more we can do, and we're here for it.⁠ ⁠ Today, we're raising a glass to the women who paved the way, the ones shaping things right now, and the next generation who'll carry it forward.⁠ ⁠ Photographers in order of appearance: @danibartlettphotography / @georgiawiggs / @jackchauvelphoto / @toddhuntermcgaw / @brettscapinphotography ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: A wedding party wearing vibrant green, pink, yellow, purple and blue dresses cheer as they see their bride dressed for the first time.⁠ ⁠ Image two description: The bride's grandmother signs ⁠the marriage papers, wearing a blue cardigan and a pink rose buttonhole. ⁠ ⁠ Image three description: The bride and her mother giggle in a garden as they have their pre-ceremony portraits taken. The bride's mother wears a purple sari with cream detailing, while the bride herself is wearing a lace white long-sleeve dress.⁠ ⁠ Image four description: A bride and her mother work together to get her ready for the ceremony, looking out a window as they share a moment together.⁠ ⁠ Image five description: The bride hugs a guest wearing a bright red dress close to her chest as she closes her eyes in bliss.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #IWD2026
Cocktail Friday is here, and this week it’s the Cocktail Friday is here, and this week it’s the Violet Sunset Gin Fizz.⁠ ⁠ Bright with lemon, softened with grenadine, topped with soda and finished with that dried purple citrus slice from @mixso_moments. Light, fizzy and just a little bit pretty.⁠ ⁠ The recipe is on Polka Dot Made.
