How it all started

Hey Guys,
Welcome to Golden Polka Dot! Let me take a few moments and tell you all about how this little blog got started and why. My name is Brittanny. I am twenty eight years old, i love acting, singing,dancing, cooking and photography. I am obsessed with my English bulldog (Rudy)and i like to consider myself somewhat of a foodie . I am horrible at spelling and grammar so i apologize now.

I  recently just married the love of my life. Let me Just tell you WEDDINGS ARE FANTASTIC! My husbands name is Mike and he is simply amazing . We dated six years before we FINALLY got engaged. I was so excited to start making my pinterest wedding board a reality. I am an artsy fartsy type person.  So for 11 Months with my mom by my side we started crafting on the weekdays and going to flee markets on the weekends. It was so much fun. I really wanted a rustic , Diy wedding. Personalizing my wedding was my number one priority. I designed a personalized monogram that would set the tone for the entire day. I was all about the details from start to finish. I didn't want to leave anything out. So my mom and i spent endless amount of hours making burlap tablecloth overlays , burlap garland, burlap pillows, hanging mason jars, photo booth props, table numbers ,Chalkboard signs, wood signs,dessert bags, dessert labels, and  interactive ceremony programs with custom pencils . Even Mike helped with the crafting. He and a groomsmen hollowed out all the wood logs for our centerpieces and he helped me salvage a fence from a neighbors dumpster that we turned that into our escort seating chart. I made special mason jars for all the bridesmaids and myself to hold our bouquets at the reception . However one of my favorite pieces of decor were the vintage marquee lights Mike had purchased as a wedding gift for me! They were absolutely perfect! My whole wedding was absolutely perfect . It came together better than i imagined.

So your probably wondering what does all this have to do with Golden Polka Dot .  Well, I spent so much time crafting for my wedding , that when it was over i asked myself now what ? I had so much fun the entire time making all these awesome things, that i didn't want it to come to an end . So that's when i realized, it didn't have to. I could still make crafts , maybe not for my wedding , but i could for others. I knew i didn't want to do etsy because i didn't want to mass produce products ,and i wanted to work one on one with people , not over the Internet . I also didn't want to limit it to just weddings. I just wanted to craft . I didn't care if it was for the house, a baby shower,a birthday party etc. I just wanted to make things! DIY is so in right now ,but a lot of people don't have the time or don't know how to  . So that's when Golden Polka Dot was born . Golden Polka Dot does custom Diy crafts for those who don't Diy! Be sure to check out some of the things i made down below. 

Until next time !
