 We love a good black tie wedding here at Polka Dot Bride so the one we featured this week on Polka Dot Weddings is sure to blow your bow tie loving socks off! Just wait till you read the story of the honeymoon these newlyweds took, it’s enough to make you want to dive into your computer screen and never come back (I peeked, it looks awesome, we can’t wait to share it!).

I have a brand new cosy blue jumper this week I have snuggled away the winter days with (along with my required ginger and lemongrass tea). Look, I’m talking about a jumper to you – but it’s the little things! I am grateful for it’s fluffiness and the snuggly feeling it brings me and isn’t Friday a time to be grateful?

I tell you something else I am grateful for – so many inspiring posts across the Polka blogs this week! I barely know where to start with telling you all the beautiful things that we got to share!

Our film of the week comes from Paper Crane Productions. I’m not sure what exactly touched me about this film, the quiet love, the beautiful filming or how it all came together to tell such a story.
