Featuring a backdrop of sweeping snow-capped mountains scattered with historic redwood trees, Lauren and Dain’s wedding ceremony was simply breathtaking. The couple always knew they wanted to get married on top of a mountain, and Glacier Point, in California’s Yosemite National Park, was the ultimate spot.
With such a majestic wedding location, Lauren’s bridal look needed to be both beautiful and practical. Her flowy lace gown was lightweight and featured godets, so she could easily climb mountains and bush walk on the day. As for accessories, Lauren wore our GABRIEL crown, which beautifully echoed the surrounding wildlife, with its clusters of clay flowers, crystal foliage and bohemian vibe. Comfortable footwear was also a must. She finished off her bridal look with very practical, brown lace-up boots!
Lauren and Dain wanted their wedding to be romantic, adventurous, outdoorsy and intimate. The stunning vistas of waterfalls, giant sequoia trees, wildlife and cliffs at Yosemite National Park fulfilled this wedding-day vision, and gave their guests a truly unique experience.
“When I first met Dain, I was not adventurous or an ‘outdoorsy’ person,” says Lauren. “Two years after dating he took me to Yosemite, CA and I fell in love! I hadn’t been since I was about four or five years old and was in awe of Yosemite’s beauty as soon as we entered the park. We had dinner at The Majestic Yosemite Hotel and I saw a couple getting married there, and I joked that we should get married there someday. Who knew that seven years later, we would?”
Time, consideration and an open mind went into creating Lauren’s gorgeous bridal look. Every detail, from the dress, to the accessories and hairstyle, was well thought through, to accentuate Lauren’s natural beauty. Her lace dress was flowy and elegant and featured chiffon godets at the bottom and buttons down the back.
“My husband always tells me my backside is one of the reasons he fell in love with me, so I knew I had to have a mermaid silhouette to show off my curves,” says Lauren. “The lace in my dress is actually flowers if you look close enough. I loved how the GABRIEL crown had gorgeous white flowers that matched my dress so perfectly. My dress also had no beading whatsoever, so I wanted something with a little bling. The crown was a modern yet timeless approach to the trendy flower crown. The pearls in the crown added an extra vintage look, which I loved. I wanted a boho feel to my hair. So, I went on Pinterest a lot!”
She decided on a half up hair style, with a modern braid and curls, topped with the GABRIEL crown.
“Tania Maras is amazing. She really does makes a little something for everyone. An extra special piece of jewellery or a headpiece to have on your wedding day makes the look. Also, I love the idea of having something to pass down to my daughter one day and this headpiece will be one of those things.”
“My advice is, don’t worry so much about pleasing other people. I feel like weddings have really gotten out of hand. There is a reason smaller weddings are the new trend. We wanted our wedding to be about us! We hand selected the people that shaped our relationship and made us the people we are today and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My second piece of advice is getting an amazing photographer. There are some things on a wedding I would say skimp on, a photographer is not one of those. For my husband and I, our pictures were the most important thing, so finding a great photographer was at the top of our list. Lastly, relax… remember you are doing this because you love each other. Have fun with it!”
Whether you’re dreaming of a bohemian inspired wedding, a classic garden ceremony or a formal affair, a wedding flower crown can be the perfect piece to finish your bridal look.
There are so many ways to style a flower crown as it can be paired with a range of feminine necklines and dress silhouettes. It’s also the perfect substitute if you don’t want to wear a veil. If you’re fond of a veil, the combination would feel effortless and classically chic.
We recently had the pleasure to work with bride Lorraine to create her dream wedding crown. Lorraine loved the look of the MARJORIE and dreamed of a full halo with rose additions to better suit her wedding dress.
Lorraine is a natural beauty with the most exquisite rich red hair, and a flower crown is the perfect piece to frame her face and hair. In designing her piece, we wanted to make sure she had flexibility with styling so it’s fully adjustable and can be tightened or widened as needed.
Lorraine’s special piece also features delicate tiny clay flowers and tiny pearl accents that have been woven into the piece.
We love to work with brides to bring their vision to life. Working with Lorraine was such a pleasure and it was a beautiful process to understand her vision and see her bridal look come together.
If you love the crown we designed for Lorraine, or if you would love a piece custom made to better suit you, get in touch. Share photos of your wedding dress and hairstyle and we can go from there.
“Soft, romantic and gentle”, the three words bride Leona used to describe her vision for her delicate hair vine. After months of dreaming and searching online, the loveliest Leona was in touch with us about a bespoke headpiece for her late April wedding. Leona loved our use of clay flowers in our headpieces, particularly the EDEN, MARJORIE and CASSIA headpieces. She preferred a more simple design with a classic colour palette of ivory/soft silver tones.
To bring together Leona’s bridal look, she shared with us photos of her wedding dress which featured exquisite floral details embroidered onto a fine lace. She also picked a classic and chic updo that perfectly accentuated the neckline on her dress.
Taking into account the delicate floral details on Leona’s dress and her classic hairstyle, we got to work dreaming up her special headpiece.
The headpiece we designed for Leona featured a combination of clay flowers, including our smallest flowers yet. Delicate and dainty details were scattered along her piece in an organic and untamed manner. We complemented these fine florals with shimmering crystals and pearl accents to add texture.

We adored working with the loveliest bride Winnie to create a bespoke wedding headpiece for her upcoming wedding. Winnie’s favourite styles from the collection were the EDEN and the HELENA headpieces – much loved styles for their organic styling, delicate details and floral elements.
In creating her custom headpiece, we looked to these two styles for inspiration and customised the colour scheme and layout to suit her bridal look.
This special headpiece was designed to wind along Winnie’s hairline, featuring pearl and crystal details at perfect intervals to frame her loose curls and sweeping part to the right. Although it’s designed to be worn along the hairline, it can also be flipped over and worn backwards to captivate her guests from behind. It’s always lovely to offer our brides a second way of styling the one headpiece and there’s no doubt Winnie’s headpiece will exude whimsical and elegant appeal no matter how she chooses to wear it.
Rather than a formal crown or tiara, this piece is designed to be positioned directly on the hair to sit more as a wreath. The mid-section feels airy and spacious and the side clusters are slightly more detailed to perfectly frame her face.
There are so many things we love about Winnie’s bespoke headpiece. There’s no denying we love its carefree spirit – as if it’s been plucked from among the vines. Its organic styling adds a touch of bohemian sophistication and the inviting tones of soft ivory, gold and touches of blush pink feel effortlessly chic.
To add a final touch of glamour to her ethereal organza and lace wedding gown, Winnie will be pairing this headpiece with our LOUVRE veil in soft ivory tones. This cathedral veil will frame the dramatic long train on her dress and create a look that’s regal and romantic.

The HARVEST gold wedding crown is all about natural and organic floral styling. Inspired by a love for wild flowers, this artfully arranged red and gold wedding crown is reminiscent of freshly picked flowers from a field of wild blossoms.
For the unique bride, this crown makes an elegant yet bold statement that’s whimsical and feminine for the modern romantic. If you’re yearning for something a little different and unconventional, working colour into your bridal look can be a fashion-forward way to make a beautiful statement.
Your accessories should represent your personal style and sensibilities, your likes and loves and your perception of beauty. For some brides, this might mean something a little unconventional and bold, or for other brides it might mean something more traditional and classic. Whatever your style, your bridal look should feel like a natural extension of your style.
We love to pair the HARVEST crown with delicate and dainty crystal earring drops. These ethereal and lightweight sets perfectly frame the face without competing with the bold red details scattered across the headpiece.
Our favourite combinations include the GEORGE, ISABEAU and ARLETTE crystal drop sets.
This gold wedding crown features a beautiful balance of foraged red flowers, ruby red crystals and rose gold and blush elements set against gold toned detail. As a bespoke accessories designer, all of our pieces can be customised to suit your bridal colour palette.
We think this unique piece would look beautiful in antique silver tones with scattered ivory flowers, soft natural freshwater pearls and empire blue details for a subtle touch of colour.
Fancy something a little more classic? Perhaps gold and ivory tones with champagne elements might be more your style. Or antique silver with blush tones and soft ivory tones might feel a little more timeless and sophisticated. This beautiful piece – along with our bridal collection – can be customised to suit your wedding dress, hairstyle and personal preferences.
Organic bridal styling is about effortless elegance. The HARVEST gold wedding tiara takes cues from the wilderness with boho luxe appeal. It’s designed to frame the face and hair as though it’s growing out of your hair and weaving along your hair line in a way that’s fluid and romantic.
We think this piece would style beautifully with a sheer bridal veil with a clean raw edge. Pair it with a drop veil such as the ROSELLA wedding veil or a classic cut shorter veil such as our BLAIR fingertip veil.
In terms of hair, think all out hair with loose curls, half up hairstyles or a soft romantic bun.
It’s always a good thing when you can wear something again after your wedding day. The HARVEST headpiece would perfectly suit spring races, engagement parties or anniversary dinners. Pair it with loose curls and all out messy hair for a look that’s bohemian inspired, soft and romantic.
