What if your honeymoon staycation felt a little… European?

Hyde Perth may be in the heart of the CBD, but step inside and you'll find poolside Amalfi vibes, Greek-inspired dining, Ibiza energy and Parisian touches. Lisa Perkovic takes us along for the stay.

From lazy afternoons by the pool and Spritzes in hand to gorgeous Greek feasts, late night cocktails and a Poolside Suite complete with its very own Murphy bed, this is a staycation that feels a world away. And perhaps that's exactly what newlyweds need sometimes. No long haul flights, no jet lag, no huge honeymoon budget, just a little luxury, some delicious food and quality time together.

Could Hyde Perth be your next honeymoon escape? Read Lisa's full stay at the link below.

You've spent months, sometimes years, planning for one incredible day… and then suddenly, it's over. So what happens when the excitement fades and you're left feeling unexpectedly flat, emotional or even a little lost? The post-wedding blues are more common than you might think, yet they're rarely talked about.

On Polka Dot Wisdom today, relationship therapist, Amanda Lambros - The Relationship Educator, Speaker & Consultant, explores why this happens, why it doesn't mean you regret your wedding, and how to navigate the emotional transition into married life.

A relationship therapist explains why feeling flat after your wedding doesn't mean anything's wrong, and what actually helps you move through it.

It turns out even a very elegant wedding can involve a groomsman sprinting to MJ Bale an hour before the ceremony and a desperate bit of hemming tape!

Basically, there are plenty of good stories here. Read the full feature on Polka Dot Wedding to find out more!

The wedding day ends. But what happens next?

We spend so much time talking about the lead up to a wedding and the magic of the day itself… but what about the Tuesday six months later?

The excitement has settled. The planning is over. Life has returned to normal and sometimes, you might find yourself wondering: Where did the spark go?

In our latest Wisdom piece, somatic sexologist Nicola Bodle shares a fascinating perspective on what happens to relationships after the wedding day, and, more importantly, how couples can continue to nurture curiosity, intimacy, connection and desire long after the confetti has been swept away.

Oh, and their love story started with a box of hostage Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
