Welcome to another week on Polka Dot Bride! It’s creepily too close to Christmas as I write this but I must say I have a fair bit of Christmas spirit running through my veins at the moment, perhaps it’s those Christmas cards I finally finished?

It’s Monday morning which means a spotlight on  Ms Polka Dot’s Directory! Our directory is a one stop shop to help you find the best wedding vendors for your wedding- from stylists to stationers, photographers and cakes! They’re incredibly talented, have a sense of style and love working with dotties! Take a peek today and look through their beautiful work!

Our vendor of the week can take a simple object and turn it into something pretty amazing!  Form Over Function are this week’s Polka Dot Bride Vendor of The Week and not only are they experts in event design, they style, print, hire and manage as well!

I adore the Form Over Function eye for detail- pairing unusual textures and colours together (and the ability to style anything from a Moroccan extravaganza to a wedding inspired by beautiful fabrics), doing things a little differently so you’re able to have a wedding that is your personal style with their beautiful touch! Form Over Function works with many of Sydney’s (interstate and regional as well) best wedding vendors- it’s always a major plus to know that your vendors can work well together!

To learn a little more about Form Over Function we asked Alicia five questions in five minutes!

What is your favourite after five drink?

Mojitos in summer; champagne all year round.

Your favourite weekend getaway?

It may sound boring – but home! I’m hardly ever there on weekends because I’m working on couple’s weddings, so I relish a weekend at home. And I’m lucky to live in a beautiful stretch of coast-meets-bush. Start the days with an early morning ocean swim, breakfast on the deck overlooking the sea and escarpment with my husband, reading The Sydney Morning Herald, or tucking into a novel, or in the kitchen cooking for friends, coastline walks or quality time on the daybed. Bliss.

Favourite restaurant?

Vini in Sydney for a warm, intimate, buzzy night. Fantastic Italian food and a wine list worth exploring.

What can we find you eating for breakfast on a Sunday morning?

On a working weekend – whatever the nearest café will serve me as early as possible. At home – avocado, perfectly ripe tomato & possibly too much sea salt on bourke street bakery sourdough.

Your favourite wedding story?

One? Just one? OK. Spending an afternoon with a client’s five year old daughter drawing with crayons to come up with the motif for her parent’s stationery. We ended up with nothing like the vision I’d had dancing in my head, but a gorgeous collection of three hearts side by side which she came up with all by herself to represent her family. Me? Cry?
