#1 An Intimate Wedding Atop The Sydney Harbour Bridge With Will Burton

In our very first episode of The Feel Good Wedding Podcast by Polka Dot Wedding, Dorothy (she/her) is joined by Will Burton (he/him), to share the story of his & John’s unique Sydney wedding.

Will is 27, originally from the UK. He’s been in Australia for three years and works in marketing. Will and John fell in love with Australia while travelling and love the diversity and inclusivity in Sydney. Will enjoys working out, spending time with friends, watching the sunrise and long walks. He also loves interior design and anything creative and is currently loving furnishing our new apartment. Will and John love travelling and hope to travel even more now that we are able to again.

In this chat we discuss:

• How Will & John ensured their day felt relaxing and not constrained by time
• Their approach to choosing vendors
• Why they chose their suits first when planning their wedding
• How they found LGBTQIA+ friendly vendors
• Will’s advice to the wedding industry on making things more LGBTQIA+ friendly
• Plus Will’s tips on planning a day that is uniquely yours.

Will shares, ‘Do it your way. Honestly, don't worry about anyone else. Just do it exactly how you want to do it. You know, weddings cost a lot of money, a once-in-a-lifetime experience and just don't be restricted by those wedding norms and just use the vendors that you know, and trust and you'll have a great day.’

We hope you enjoyed our very first episode! We’d love for you to share on your socials and tag @polkadotwedding and celebrate the launch with us.
