I’m betting that many of you are mulling over your Fall 2007 weddings, and I have to say: dude, CLOAKS. I’ve become a big fan of the wedding cloaks and capes. This shot is of an old friend of mine, Susannah, wearing a gold-lined ultra suede cloak at her fall 2002 wedding. (There’s more about Susannah’s Dia de los Muertos wedding in Offbeat Bride.) I loved Suz’s striped tights and boots, too, but this post is about capes. I must focus.

Anyway, if you’re worried about staying warm at your wedding, definitely consider a cloak. I love this elvin style cape, and then there’s the adorable Little Red Briding Hood.

It’s not often that I see something wedding-related on theknot.com that I actually like. For the most part, the site runs too traditional for my tastes — although it does have some useful tools that even the most offbeat of brides can use. That said, I about fell out of my snooty-chair when I came across Kameo Brown’s amazing profile. Her photos are gorgeous and the event looks stunning. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised — the bride is a photographer and clearly has an amazing eye for the details.

Although the wedding seems like it definitely was not a low-budget affair, there are some inspiring decorative and conceptual elements that are great for brainstormers. And I absolutely loved the Kammeo’s quote: “Entering my thirties, the idea of being a ‘little princess’ didn’t appeal to me as much as being ‘Queen’ for the day.” And omg, did she ever achieve it. Stunning!
