Accessory: Custom Draped in Flowers veil
Photographer: Jill Hoyle Photography

Matthew and I had been together for 8 years when we married each other on August 26, 2023. We chose our venue because it reflects our passion and love for nature. We ended up being blessed with the most perfect day and were able to get married outside, surrounded by the pine trees, river, flowers, and hummingbirds.

When I was searching for my wedding dress and accessories, I wanted to encompass my love for nature as well. I also knew that I wanted to find a removable bridal accessory to complete my outfit, to be able to wear and remove it, creating two different looks. When I found the Draped in Flowers Cape on the Tania Maras website, I knew it was the one. I had already chosen my Alyssa Kristin gown for its simplicity and crisp white crepe satin. The Draped in Flowers Cape was perfect for me because I was able to wear it for Matthew and mine’s first look, family portraits, and ceremony. I removed the cape for our cocktail hour, first dances, and reception dinner. I re-donned the cape when it was time for our sunset portraits, which are definitely our favorites from the day. The Draped in Flowers cape brought the romantic, floral element I was looking for into my bridal outfit. Matthew and I have a beautiful garden in our backyard where we have spent many hours together. The cape reminds me of our garden and the flowers we grow every year. The cape truly made my wedding look feel complete and had me feeling like a true bride.
