At Tania Maras, we understand that your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and every detail from your dress to your accessories, should be nothing short of perfection. Unfortunately, not every bride’s journey is smooth, and we occasionally meet brides who come to us after having worked with another bridal accessories designer who didn’t meet their expectations.
While it’s disheartening to hear that a bride’s experience wasn’t as magical as it should have been, we see these moments as an opportunity to help make things right. Here’s how we approach these situations and how we work to turn disappointment into joy.
One of the first steps we take when a bride comes to us after a less-than-ideal experience with another designer is to truly listen. We want to understand her vision, her concerns, and what specifically went wrong with the previous design. Whether it was a lack of communication, a misunderstanding of her style, or a final product that didn’t match her expectations, we take the time to dig deep into what she’s looking for. By asking the right questions and listening carefully, we ensure we’re fully aligned with her vision from the very beginning.
Sometimes, a bride’s previous experience may have left her feeling uncertain or hesitant. Our goal is to rebuild her confidence and help her see that the perfect accessories are within reach. We take this opportunity to redefine expectations, both hers and ours.
We work collaboratively with the bride, involving her along the design process by sharing images, descriptions and the option of final adjustments. We make sure she feels in control and confident that the end result will be how she envisaged.
One of the reasons brides turn to us after a disappointing experience is because they value the high level of craftsmanship and quality that Tania Maras is known for. Before any piece leaves our studio, it undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets our exacting standards.
We aim to make the entire design experience as positive and stress-free as possible. By focusing on what went wrong in her previous experience, we can ensure that we avoid those pitfalls and deliver a result that she’ll love.
We were so grateful when Yasmin reached out to us. After sharing her situation with us, Yasmin sent us examples of inspiration images that appealed to her (including photos from her first attempt so we knew what she didn’t want) and together we shared thoughts on how to bring this vision to life. We drew inspiration from our Franca floral crown and reimagined it into an exquisite floral bun wrap that will create a beautiful focal point to her bridal look.
As Yasmin was in a hurry, we prioritised her order with an expedited production time. After approval photos were sent and given the all clear, her headpiece was beautifully packaged and sent her via Express Post with time to spare before her special day.
A very special thank you to Yasmin for sharing these photos with us from her wedding day. We are absolutely in love with these photos! We love how she paired her floral headpiece with her wedding gown. A truly breathtaking bridal look.

Discover the perfect wedding crown or bridal headband to complete your look.
A wedding crown is more than just a beautiful accessory; it’s a symbol of the regal elegance and timeless beauty that every bride embodies on her special day. Whether you’ve been dreaming of a fairytale wedding or simply want to add a touch of luxury to your bridal look, the right wedding crown can make all the difference.
With so many styles and options available, choosing the perfect wedding crown can feel overwhelming. In this post, we’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting your crown, ensuring you find the perfect piece to complement your style and make you feel like royalty.
Wedding crowns come in a variety of styles, each offering a unique aesthetic.
Your wedding dress plays a crucial role in determining the best crown style for you.
When it comes to styling your bridal look, referring back to your mood board is important to ensure your choices stay true to your original vision. The theme and setting of your wedding will be an important consideration to ensure you achieve the vibe you’re after.
Your wedding crown should perfectly frame your hair and face so your chosen hairstyle will be an important consideration.
We always notice that the moment a wedding crown is placed on a bride, she will walk with her head high with a confidence that only she knows. It’s important to ensure your crown fits well and is secured in place. We recommend bobby pins or hair combs to secure the crown into your hair. Your hairstylist will be able to help you with the fitting to ensure it stays in place throughout the day.

Bride Pauline was in touch with us last year about commissioning a floral wedding headpiece for her wedding. Her ceremony and reception will be set in Old Westbury, Long Island in the USA, and she was after a headpiece that was a natural extension of her bridal aesthetic.
Pauline shared photos with us of her exquisite wedding gown, her half up hairstyle, and her favourite designs from our collection for inspiration. And we swooned, oh how we swooned!
We see a lot of wedding dresses working with our brides. But the very moment we laid eyes on Pauline’s wedding dress we all gasped. Her chic gown burst with femininity, an abundance of lace details and an unforgettable silhouette featuring a full flowing skirt.
The FLORENCE headpiece was Pauline’s favourite from our collection. She sought a fuller headpiece in ivory, gold and subtle blush pink tones. Pauline loved the warmth of blush but didn’t want any dramatic pink elements, so we kept the blush tones to a minimum.
This floral wedding headpiece was inspired by the delicacy and beauty of baby’s breath and featured Pauline’s favourite elements from the Florence crown. While her headpiece is a full halo, we ensured it felt and looked lightweight whilst still bursting with floral elements.
We love this crown because it suits perfectly imperfect loose curls, romantic updos and fuss free hair. This headpiece was designed to fit the circumference of Pauline’s head, and also allows for volume for when her hair is professionally styled. It secures to the hair with bobby pins which can be easily threaded through the loops at the ends of this headpiece.
This headpiece can be worn with or without a wedding veil. Pauline will be wearing our DAHLIA chapel veil on her wedding day so we ensured they would fit snuggling and seamlessly together.
If you love this crown, or if you would love a wedding headpiece custom made just for you, get in touch. Let’s create something beautiful.
The LYRIC headpiece is a much loved style from the collection, featuring an elegant willow-like design which offers a carefree detail to natural and relaxed bridal hairstyles. The pale golden palette combined with soft ivory flowers evoke a mood of bohemia and when paired with a classic wedding gown, the look is next level.
To our joy, our New Zealand bride Taylor loved the detailing and look of the LYRIC style but it was a little too long for her classic wedding gown which featured an elegant boat neckline and low cowl back. We love to work one-on-one with our brides and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Taylor to modify the design to better suit her look.
Taylor’s bridal look is the ultimate in classic styling. Her vision was to pair the boat neckline and cowl back of her Trish Peng wedding gown with a beautiful relaxed low set updo. These timeless details are an elegant combination and we wanted to ensure her headpiece accentuated the lines on her gown and the aesthetic of her overall look.
Proportions are very important when we design our pieces. Where a headpiece is too large, it can overwhelm the other details and can draw attention away from the beauty of a dress or bridal hairstyle. Ensuring Taylor’s headpiece was balanced and proportional to the rest of her look was our main priority.
We scaled back the length of the original LYRIC headpiece by 10cm so its dimensions matched our LUCILLE headpiece.
This shortened length allowed it to sit in her hair with a soft curve which was proportional to her updo and also mimicked the lines of her low cowl back.
Taylor had also chosen a cathedral length veil with a tulle wrapped comb so this was another factor we needed to consider when designing her headpiece. To ensure the comb of her veil would be covered sufficiently, we filled in the centre with extra flower details, more pale golden leaves in various sizes and additional pearl sprigs to add fullness and texture.
The finished headpiece feels effortless, classic and sophisticated – the perfect accessory to complete her bridal ensemble.
We are thrilled Taylor loves her headpiece.

Bride Olivia dreamed of her wedding day with husband Jack to be “bursting with beautiful blooms”. With thoughtful styling and colour coordinating, their wedding flowers were even better than she imagined. Their floral arches, bouquets and centrepieces were truly beautiful and romantic, complementing the sentiment of the day.
The flowers weren’t your classic baby’s breath either – orchids, roses and pampas grass were used in the arrangements to create a look that was dreamy and modern. This theme ran throughout the wedding, especially in Olivia’s bridal look. She wore a figure-hugging, sparkly lace gown and our TEMPEST crown with delicate crystal and pearl details. She was surrounded by a tulle aura, with the MARAIS veil completing her divine look.
Olivia and Jack married at The War Memorial, a historic lakefront venue in Michigan, USA. The venue boasts formal gardens, a ballroom and a striking facade for the ceremony backdrop.
“The War Memorial attracted me because it looks like an estate in France, which goes along with the romantic vibe I desired,” says Olivia.
The venue styling was understated and elegant, with a soft neutral palette and warm pops of colour.
“I also really liked the way that everything didn’t totally match… I didn’t want to have specific ‘wedding colours’, instead, I wanted a soft palette where everything was cohesive yet not matchy-matchy,” she says.
Along with the beautiful floral displays, another special detail for Olivia was the wedding favours. She printed out tags with some of her favourite love poems and tied them around little bottles of Casa Migos (Olivia and Jack’s favourite tequila).
Olivia’s natural goddess-like beauty was elevated in her flowy lace gown with soft drapes and her golden accessories.
“I knew I didn’t want a ‘classic’ bridal look – I wanted something a little sexier, something with sparkle and texture. I loved Inbal Dror’s styles and found they fit my body very well. When I saw the perfect gown hanging in the sample basement of a local bridal boutique, I knew it was the one!”
Our gold TEMPEST crown featuring freshwater pearl cluster and crystal vines, along with the sleek and floaty MARAIS veil, further emphasised Olivia’s heavenly presence.
“A gold detailed crown-meets-headpiece was something I always wanted since it is the perfect combo of boho and regal. I discovered Tania Maras on Pinterest and loved the way they styled their accessories in a modern way. Since my dress was so intricate, I didn’t want the veil to compete, which is why the MARAIS veil was perfect.”
“Start early, because the details really add up to one ‘wow’ moment if you have time to think through it all! And make sure you really articulate what you want with vendors. Our vendors were so great at taking our preferences into account while still using their artistry and genius to create a wedding that was even better than we imagined,” says Olivia.
What happens when you fall in love with a few floral wedding headpieces and can’t decide which one to go for? Well, for US bride Tristan, she found herself in this exact situation when she discovered our CHERRY BLOSSOM set, and the MARION and the VERSAILLES headpieces.
When Tristan got in touch with her vision and predicament, we were instantly excited at the prospect of bringing together her favourite styles to create her perfect floral wedding headpiece. The styles she fell in love with all shared a number of common features: beautiful florals, an effortless regality and most importantly, their construction methods and aesthetics were similar which made it possible to bring her vision to life.
We believe that custom wedding accessories are just as important as having a wedding dress tailored and tweaked to suit your body shape and height. We all have different face shapes, hair thickness and types, and style, and we love to offer our brides the ability to tweak our designs so they are perfect for them.
Tristan had chosen an exquisite white wedding gown by Essence of Australia for her outdoor, garden wedding in Miami at a private Spanish style villa called Villa Woodbine.
Her bridal hairstyle is the epitome of style with hair mostly down and slightly pinned back with a boho style braid which she can tuck her veil into.
She shared pictures from her dress fitting of her wedding dress with her veil and we designed her hairpieces to take into account the width of her veil comb and the hairstyle she’d picked.
The beauty of a larger headpiece and two matching pins is it will offer countless ways to style your hair. For Tristan, the larger floral headpiece is designed to frame her wedding veil and the two additional hair pins can be scattered as she pleases to add sense of whimsy. She can secure the pins at the ends of the piece to elongate the main headpiece or she can position them in the centre of the headpiece to fill it in and create more volume.
After the ceremony, Tristan can remove her veil and the hairpieces can stay in place or be restyled into a different configuration.
We would love to work with you to bring your vision to life. If you have your heart set on a different combination of hairpieces, or perhaps would like to know how certain styles can be reworked to match your or our veils, get in touch. We’d love to work with you to create something beautiful.
One of the latest pieces off the workbench is a crystal hair piece for bride Frances. This delicate yet bold piece hints to the constellations with its celestial inspired details derived from our STELLAR hair pins. Appropriately titled ‘To the Moon and Back’, we were star struck by the beauty of the sparkly crystal elements which feel illuminating and beautifully decadent.
We adore how Frances’ headpiece makes opulence feel effortless.
This bewitching showstopper is a celebration of the stars and the moon in our night sky. It was handcrafted in shades of antique silver and soft silver crystal elements. The crystals were scattered and applied in various sizes and shapes in a beautifully organic way including navettes and round crystals.
The star-like details from our STELLAR pin set were artfully woven onto the vines, evoking an edgier vibe to our signature florals. Star-inspired motifs blur the lines between floral and celestial accents which still beautifully complement floral motifs on lace wedding dresses or modern silhouettes.
This piece can be made to order in silver tones (as pictured) or for a look that hints at a warmer colour palette, rose gold or gold wiring are also available. The crystals in silver tones pair beautifully with all metal finishes and creates an enchanting and celestial inspired feel to your bridal look.
We love to design pieces that can be worn in more than one way. While Frances’ headpiece was designed specifically to be worn at the back of her head to frame her wedding updo, it can also be styled along the hairline to one side for a second reception look.
To position the piece into place, your hairstylist will simply use bobby pins or hair pins across the teeth and under the hair to secure it into place.
We work with brides worldwide to bring their bridal visions to life. As our work is all designed and handcrafted in-house, all elements of our pieces can be customised to suit your wedding dress and hairstyle including length, width, details, colours and attachments.
Feel free to send us photos of your wedding dress, hairstyles and links or style names of pieces from our collection you love and we can get back to you with some ideas and recommendations.
This artfully arranged wedding hair comb is one of the latest bespoke pieces to leave the workbench for Saudi Arabian bride, Mariam. Inspired by the beauty of the PRIMROSE hair comb, this romantic piece has been reworked into a wider format to better suit her low set bridal updo.
This delightful comb has been infused with floral elements including a handcrafted clay rose, primrose flowers and dogwood blooms.
We love the organic nature of this floral display and the cascading arrangement of blooms and buds amongst pearl sprays.
Mariam will be styling her hair in a beautiful low set bun. A chic and sophisticated hairstyle that needed a little detail to the side to complete her bridal look.
For a second look, Mariam can position the comb to the side of loose waves – think Old Hollywood style waves, gently swept to one side.
A silver and ivory colour palette is the epitome of classic bridal styling. The silver tones feel clean and sophisticated with the soft ivory tones a beautiful accompaniment to wedding dresses from off-white to warm ivory. We also love the luxurious tones of the pearl sprays which add a natural shimmer.
This piece for Mariam can be reworked in pale gold and ivory tones if you’d prefer a warmer colour palette. The soft champagne tones feels equal parts enchanting and inviting.
We love to work with our brides to bring together their bridal looks. All of our designs can be customised to better suit your wedding dress and hairstyle.
If your wedding is fast approaching, there may still be time for production and international shipping. Timing was critical for Mariam as her wedding was fast approaching, but in the limited time we had, we loved working with Mariam on her special piece.
Feel free to send us photos of your wedding dress and bridal hairstyle, including details of any pieces you love from our collection. We can then get back to you with ideas and recommendations. Let’s create something beautiful.
There’s something about the HELENA bridal headpiece which feels wildly feminine and enchanting. It could be its long vine-line silhouette, or the fact that it’s bursting with florals at various stages of bloom. We love its carefree styling that was inspired by the beauty of wildflowers – like freshly picked flowers woven into loose romantic hair.
The loveliest bride Christina fell in love with our HELENA and was seeking variations to it to better suit her bridal look. Christina loved its detailing but wanted it in a soft blush, almost champagne, tone with more ivory tones scattered across it. Her vision matched our aesthetic and we too have a love for muted blush tones.
We tossed around a few ideas and settled on a headpiece which brought together the soft pinkish tones of the CHERRY BLOSSOM hair piece set on the silhouette of the HELENA.
We brought to life her vision by softening the gold tones with a champagne enamel finish which created a silvery shimmer. The muted metal colour palette feels intriguing and enchanted and we love how it reflects the light in the most beautiful way. The soft ombre effect feels luxurious, warm and inviting.
Christina’s headpiece is designed to be worn at the back of the head to create a dramatic entrance as she walks down the aisle.
Its length and style means it can also be worn along the hairline too if she’d like the option of a second bridal look for the reception. It’s a truly romantic and feminine piece that sets the mood for a magical wedding day.
We work with brides worldwide to bring to life their bridal vision. No two brides are the same and we feel that there’s no one-size-fits-all headpiece.
If you’ve fallen in love with a style from our collection, get in touch and we would love to work with you to see how we can customise it to suit you and your wedding dress. Send us photos of your dress and bridal hairstyle and we can go from there.
