Wedding Ideas - Polka #8

Susan and Daniel chose a Moroccan Inspired theme for their engagement session.

Now in their third release, the Part Three collection offers the hallmark chic sophistication of the main Lover collection without losing that bridal edge.

The stunning bridal collection from Melbourne designers Well Suited really caught my eye recently. Modern shapes, elegant styling- so much to love! Designers Kerry and Nyssa worked on the collection for five years after being asked to make bridal gowns for clients and friends.

Do you have a sweet tooth, or enjoy more of a savoury treat? I like to think I walk a fine line between the two of them, with a healthy appreciation for both camps! We love the different takes couple have on the "cake" for their big days, some going with tradition, whilst others run in the opposite direction.

Lately, I've have been dreaming of rooftop wedding venues. A place where you can see the tallest buildings glittering with their lights as the sun sets, a place where it feels like you're on top of the world. Which is of course, where you are once you've said your 'I do's'!
