This March on Polka Dot Weddings we are celebrating the beauty of bridesmaids as we welcome The Bridesmaid Issue – the glam squad of wonderful ladies (and men!) who stand by your side on your big day, fluff your dress, (hold it up when nature calls) and make the experience of getting married extra special.

But the journey of a bridesmaid begins long before their first step down the aisle. And in these modern times, what really are the expectations of your maids?
We’re going behind the bouquet to explore the definition of a modern maid, showcase unique bridesmaid looks, hens and bridal shower ideas and share some incredible DIY favour ideas to thank your team of loyal besties. We’ll also recommend some fab locations to treat you and your squad to a relaxing (or crazy fun) pre-wedding weekend away.

And of course, there will be real weddings, featuring some of the most gorgeous line ups of brides-crews we’ve seen yet.
Follow along here for all our features!
