Dear Dotties,

The festive season is such a magic time of year, and in some ways, it kind of feels like planning a wedding. There is so much to do, so many situations to navigate. Family tension, money stress - you name it, somehow Christmas brings it out, all while grabbing your heart and making you feel over the top excited at the very same time.

It's pretty darn tough being an adult when you realise that the amazing joy comes with a lot of hard work. But it is times like these when simple pleasures, make the biggest difference.
This month, we're celebrating candlelight. It's such a beautiful way to add a sense of magic en masse without a lot of investment. Tablescapes of tall pillar candles, candlelit ceremonies and tall tapers leading the way. But it's also the smallest of additions that you can add to not just your wedding or your Christmas that brings it back to simplicity. The sparkle of candlelight in a dark room is beautifully meditative and the sense of wonder, a little special when everything feels a little too much.

There are so many tales around candlelight - about candles leading the way, lighting up life, but for me, it's just about stopping and taking a little time out to reflect, something that at this time of year seems almost impossible. And that is where the magic lies for me - bringing me back to what counts, and what matters with a simple little moment.

We would love to hear how you are navigating through these tricky parts of your engagement or as newlyweds. Click here to chat

From all of the team, we wish you a very safe and happy festive season and strength in navigating the hard and the pretty, and with plenty of restoration for the year ahead.

Yours in Dots,
