Jasmin & Terry’s Vintage Glamour and Travel Themed Wedding Image by Dezine by Mauro

It appears the world is going Art-Deco crazy, and we’re no different here at Polka Dot Central!

A hark back to the glamour of yesteryear, and we all love the opportunity to get dressed up and put on our finery! Men look particularly dapper in a Gatsby-inspired suit. What’s not to love!

With Friday brings our fabulous roundup, which is particularly full this week (so much to see!). Check out what you may have missed on our specialty blogs, and enjoy the great offers!
