A Polka Dot Wedding - Bridal Gown Monday
Today we bring you another Bridal Gown Monday but this time we're going to show you a few ways to add polka dots to your wedding. Polka dots are a timeless pattern that can cross all types of styles. Vintage, Contemporary, Modern and Gothic all can include polka dots in a way that enhances the wedding. And let's be real... polka dots are awesome. So here we'll show you all the ways that you can subtly or boldly add some polka dot patterns to your wedding.
Bridal Gown:
These days you can find polka dots throughout the dress. Whether directly on it, as an overlay coat or shawl, as sleeves, or as a tulle overlay skirt. You name it they've got it. Here are some looks we particularly loved in Classic, Modern, and Gothic styles.

Shoes:
Want a subtle pop of Polka Dot? Shoes are a great way to add them into your wedding subtly. Whether they are seen for only photos, you get a glimpse of them just as you walk in your gown, they are used as your bridesmaids shoes, or you wear them only for the reception, this is a great way to add a hint of polka dot without it being overwhelming. Below we highlight our favourites in a simple flat, contemporary sling back, a modern edge, and classic feel.
