Happy Monday Dotties! Who can believe we are over halfway through the first month of the year. I feel like we have packed so much into January!

Plenty of sunshine and scorching days, means more time (and an excuse!) to stay in the cool of the house and enjoy catching up on movies, or then again, not really doing a whole lot at all. Take some time though, to check out Ms Polka Dot's Directory and we're sure you'll find the perfect vendors amongst our many fabulous vendors, who will be just right for your style, your ideas and dreams. We have Transport, we have Bridal Gowns, we have Catering and Celebrants - we even have Entertainment and Venues! We're sure you'll find the perfect vendor who will help you create your dream wedding.

The flowers for the wedding are where all the colours, and style of the wedding start to gel and you start to see your vision take form. Ivy of Under The Ivy helps you to do just this, with her eye for beautiful colour and floral combinations, wild foliage to offset more formal flowers and overhead installations or ceremony arches laden with flowers and greenery.

We asked Ivy of Under The Ivy five questions in five minutes:

What is your favourite after five drink?

Long Island Iced Tea.

Your favourite weekend getaway? Peninsula Hot Springs. Favourite restaurant?

Any Mexican restaurant. Am loving the Baha Taco Joint in Rye though!

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

Fruit! Something to cleanse and refresh for the week ahead.

Your favourite wedding story?

They say it's traditional for the bride to be late to her wedding, but as you can imagine, my mum almost fainted when my dad, the groom, was 30 minutes late to their wedding! They had misplaced the ring, but it all worked out in the end.
