We were so excited in December last year to launch the first ever Polka Dot Bride newsletter – The Polka Dot Circle! The Circle is our special Polka Dot Bride community. By signing up, you’ll receive newsletters, special offers, sneak peeks and special competitions exclusive to circle members!

But as with anything polka dot related – it’s nothing without you so we want to hear your ideas. Your voice, what you want!

To celebrate the launch of the Polka Dot Circle the lovely ladies at Jemma Kidd Makeup have given us ten Jemma Kidd Backstage makeup kits to give away to ten lucky readers! The Backstage kits are one-stop shops for makeup – they’re about the size of a CD but packed with everything from eye shadows to concealers and lip-glosses! The kit includes four face powders, four concealers, 12 eye shadows, a highlighter, a primer, and four lip-glosses. So it’s the perfect size to not only take traveling (hello honeymoon) but even pop in your handbag for wedding day touch ups.

To win one of ten Jemma Kid “Backstage” Makeup Kits valued at $51.95 each simply email win@polkadotbride.com with your favourite newsletter idea, then sign up to the newsletter here (using the same email address) and we’ll select the most creative entries to win!

Jen Huang is one of America’s most loved photographers – her work, shot on digital and film, never fails to take my breath away with it’s sweet, soft elegance and incredible beauty.

This inspiration shoot will be completely personal to our winning couple executing their ideas to give not only our winners,  but you as readers,  inspiration. The shoot with you and your partner will then be captured by Jen Huang (with all the images for you to keep!) and published on Polka Dot Bride.
