Where does the joy live at a wedding? On the dance Where does the joy live at a wedding? On the dance floor. It’s the moment the formalities melt away, the shoes often come off, and the celebrations take full flight. The music’s loud, the lights are low, and the only thing left to do is dance it out. These dance floors? They were full of it. From carefully planned performances to chaotic singalongs, each one was pure magic. Want to see more from any of these weddings?

What if your wedding colour inspiration didn’t c What if your wedding colour inspiration didn’t come from a Pinterest trend, but from a feeling? ⁠ ⁠ When stationery artist Kirsty from @forkeepsillustration began designing for a couple marrying in Florence, they instinctively chose blush pink. But as their story unfolded, something shifted. Blush stayed, but it was joined by the perfect burnt orange. Emotional, personal, unforgettable.⁠ ⁠ Because the best wedding palettes? They start with you. Not what’s trending.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read Kirsty’s beautiful piece on Polka Dot Wisdom. ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A romantic Save the Date card is styled flat-lay on a soft pink fabric background with delicate dried florals and vintage postage stamps around the edges. The card features classical busts on ornate columns, entwined with hand-illustrated vines, blush pink flowers, and pops of orange berries. At the top, whimsical script reads “Save Our Date!” followed by the couple’s names, Courtney & Bradley, in playful orange and pink calligraphy. The card announces their wedding in Florence on July 8, 2026. In a mix of elegant serif and handwritten fonts, giving the entire design a timeless yet joyful, painterly feel.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingStationery #WeddingPalette #ModernRomance #WeddingDesign #WeddingInvitation #ThePinkIssue #PinkWedding #PinkWeddingDress #PinkWeddings #PinkWeddingGown #PinkBridalGown #PinkWeddingDecor #PinkBridesmaidsDress #PinkBouquet
