weddings in {australia} part 2

Ms. Polka from Polka Dot Bride has been so generous to share with us details and inspiration in Australian weddings. We absolutely adore these inspiration boards she created inspired by cities in Australia using almost all Australian companies...they are so thoughtful and so are her comments on each location!!

Adelaide

"Adelaide brides are a traditional group. They love traditional elements with unique touches.  South Australians will often hold a relaxed celebration utilizing the abundance of gourmet produce and wines from the surrounding area. Often described as having a ‘country town’ atmosphere, Adelaide is filled with historic pioneer style buildings and churches."

 Brisbane

"Brisbane brides aren’t afraid of colour! They love to embrace sunshine, unique statement pieces and they love to be different. Queenslanders will often choose a soft flowing gown and a light coloured suit (no tie) to be comfortable in the heat and on the sand. Brisbane is a city of great shopping and coastal livings with glitzy resorts (and the Great Barrier Reef!) close by. The climate is described as ‘beautiful one day, perfect the next’."

Melbourne

"Melbourne Brides are very fashion forward; they love to be glam but are subtle about it. They love moody colours, fine architecture and are bold in their choices and take advantage of the city’s beautiful parks and gardens for photographs. Melbourne is a city of great restaurants, architecture, trams and elegant fashion."

Sydney

"Sydney brides are a little more glitzy and feminine- they’re still style conscious but they love a bit of colour! Sydney brides love to take advantage of the harbour views and it’s a rare Sydney bride who doesn’t have photos with the Harbour Bridge or Opera House or by the water.  Sydney brides are very cosmopolitan and more ‘racy’ than their Melbourne counterparts. Life centers around the beautiful Sydney harbour, great nightlife and beaches."
