Bouquet by Fox & Rabbit Photo by Nika Savins The thing I love most about Spring is that the flowers get brighter and more beautiful. The bouquets really bloom in Spring - the soft pastel hues, the bright shades of warmer weather and the beautiful texture that I love so much in floral arrangements.
We always, always adore real honeymoon stories and we always love when Koren Harvey takes a trip, because we feel like we're almost right there in her stories. Which with a busy week almost over, seems like just the place to go. But this weekend? it's a busy one!
The beauty of the botanic gardens always makes for such a wonderful engagement photo backdrop and the shoot of Nicola and Brett from photographer Anna Brandt Photography makes use of the stunning backdrops that Mother Nature provides all the while telling the story of the newly engaged lovers.
I love the colours in this modern summer wedding ideas shoot from Byron Loves Fawn and The One Day House. This Summer shoot is all about clean lines, simplicity and an abundance of colourful, trailing floral arrangements. The duo took a simple garden setting and adorned it with white benches and an angular, white arch for the couple to say their "I do's".
There is something really exciting to me about young love, or young love as today's photographer Adam Ward Photography describes it. There is so much time ahead and so much learning and growing to do - all with your person right by your side. Lauren and Mark originally met at school but started dating at university.

Polka Dot Bride Designer Angela Marcuccio has long been a fixture in the Melbourne bridal industry, known for her exquisite couture designs. Her 2015 collection has completely switched it up. From couture, Angela had moved into off the rack, allowing gowns to reach a wider audience and more brides to walk down the aisle in an Angela Marcuccio gown on their wedding day.
The beautiful bridal brand Truvelle has released their 2015 collection with its romantic and ethereal touches. Rose gold sequin bodices, ombre dyed lace trains, sequin panels, keyhole backs with the finest of laces and beautiful bows. The gowns are feminine and beautiful while still creating a sense of modern style.

I love when a couple decides vehemently on the feeling they want for the day and go forth and make it happen. Emily and Villiame decided a relaxed, bright winery wedding was just their style. They infused Villiame's Fijian heritage, created a space where each guest felt involved and generally created a day that was truly reflective of them.
With the colour of rose in jewellery becoming more and more popular, I love the idea of a rose gold engagement ring. The rosy metal hues lend themselves to a sparkling diamond but are also just as home with pink stones, rough cut stones or even something completely different like a ruby or the peachy tones of a pink opal as pictured below.
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.

You know by now I love engagement shoots - nothing compares to the first throes of engagement excitement captured in stills!

Now I'm a fan of a relaxed wedding as much as the next person, but give me a formal occasion, a chance to dress up and see Mr Polka in a bow tie? I'll be early, I'll probably be knocking your door down for an invite because there is something oh so fun about getting dressed to the nines just to celebrate a love story.
Polka Dot Bride Photo by Thorson Photography via Jemima and Daniel's Dreamy Flower Filled Wedding The gorgeous gold sequin cardigan Jemima wore last week (in Jemima and Daniel's Dreamy Flower Filled Wedding) was such a hit at Polka Dot Bride, that I decided there was only one thing to do - find more of them for you to feast your eyes on!
Interpretation of one space in many ways is one of my favourite things. You might remember we recently shared Relaxed Summer Wedding Ideas a few months ago.

There is such a sense of sweetness in Casey and Jono's country garden inspired wedding. From the bride's beautiful floral hairpiece, to the vintage tea cups at the reception. But it's not just the physical details that make this wedding sweet, it's the physical ones too.
The utter sense of joy in Sara and Daniel's Spring garden wedding is palpable. From the bright and happy colour palette, the emotion filled ceremony, the wide open laughter from the bride and groom and the sense of joy that comes through each and every photo from Deep Grey Photography.
