Lee and Josh's modern Brisbane wedding has such a fresh, warm feeling to it one might swear it was held in Summer, but no this August wedding managed to evoke all the sherbet and citrus colours of Summer along with picture perfect weather and an equally beautiful celebration full of macarons cheese and of course kisses!

Happy Monday Dotties! We are so ready for the week ahead and who can believe it is already November? Bring on Summer days with drinks at dusk! The last month of delightful Spring, before we jump into summer with its own joys - sunshine, long days, fish and chips at the beach, and barbeques.

Inga and Nick wanted their wedding to be industrial and overgrown. Think graffiti, dripping candles and a venue with a derelict vibe.

Heidi & Steven There is something a little bit magic about using incredible historic venues – like Brisbane’s Old Government House for a wedding.

Happy Monday Dotties! I managed to fit in a weekend full of quiet, which for me is pretty rare. What did you get up to this weekend? Monday morning comes around quickly and so it's time to highlight and show off the members of Ms Polka Dot's Directory.

Happy Monday Dotties! With a weekend gone, we are well and truly to bring you a big week of wedding goodness! As wedding season swings into gear, we share in the joys of planning this most exciting day. In amongst the hustle and bustle take some time out together to re-focus and enjoy being engaged.

Polka Dot Bride Happy Monday Dotties! I have been getting up earlier than the sun these past two weeks and it's been a special kind of magic seeing the sun rise as I go about my work. The cold weather makes it all the better for endless cups of tea and that in itself makes my soul happy.

I think I fall in love with love a little bit more every time I see a couple so genuinely happy like Luke and Miriam. They worked with Kate of Quince & Mulberry Studios to create an engagement shoot that reflected their story and their life together, but what stuck me most was how easy and joyous they are with each other.

Julie & Alexey Today’s romantic Brisbane wedding is spectacular.
