Happy Monday Dotties! Did you have a lovely weekend? The last of Summer? As an Autumn adorer, I am so excited for the weather to turn!

It’s officially the last week of a very long summer. How lovely it’s been to laze about, catching up with family over a sunset dinner, hearing the crickets and cicadas sing their summer songs and smell the parched earth after a summer shower. So for now it’s time to keep the summer vibe going, and slow down as we highlight and show off the members of Ms Polka Dot’s Directory.  We have Favors & Decor Accessories, we have Photography, we have Bridal Gowns and Bridal Gown Services – we even have Cinematography and Venues! Our Directory is filled to the brim with dedicated wedding vendors who are wanting to help you create your wedding day story.

With stylish influences in his childhood, the obvious career choice was in fashion, and before long Daniel of Daniel Learmont Couture had built a reputation for impeccable craftsmanship. With influences of the glamour of Hollywood in the 50’s and 60’s Daniel designs pieces for the discerning bride using silks, shantungs, Duchess satin and lovely laces to create contemporary pieces just so right for today’s bride who loves glamour and style.

We asked Daniel of Daniel Learmont Couture five questions in five minutes:

What is your favourite after five drink?

Usually a nice Cote du Rhone, but if it’s been a long a week, nice strong Gin martini.

Your favourite weekend getaway?

Because of the long hours that bridal demands of you, sometimes just staying at home is a great luxury, but if I want to totally relax, spending time in the Southern Highlands is a great way to recharge your batteries.

Favourite restaurant?

Claires Kitchen in Darlinghurst. It’s a beautiful French bistro with classic cuisine, great wine and AMAZING!! Martini’s and the staff are wonderful and friendly.

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

Poached eggs on top of sourdough toast with avocado, roasted tomato and pesto and coffee, lots of coffee.

Your favourite wedding story?

I think all my brides have wonderful stories but I have a special affection for the people who are renewing their vows, getting married for the second time, because they haven’t given up on love and keeping their love alive.
Many of my clients also have been together a long while some over 10 years and decide to get married, which is also fun because they are so relaxed about the whole thing and they just want to have fun with all of their family and friends around and don’t get into the craziness that can come when planning a wedding.
