A sad farewell to Wedding Style Guide magazine this week. It’s always terribly sad to see a business shut it doors and losing a magazine that was such a part of the Australian wedding landscape is incredibly sad. I wish, and the Polka Dot Bride team wishes the Wedding Style Guide team the best of luck in their future pursuits and a hope that they return with their talents soon to the scene!

For this week’s video, I wanted to share an 18 minute film I loved. The wedding Coco Rocha and James Conran’s wedding shot by Americana Cinema. Held in France, I loved the intimate French setting of this wedding, the intimacy and the romance of it was beautiful.
