“I envisioned my head covered in crystals,” says Imani Kai, who paired her custom cape-style wedding gown with a glittering headpiece.
Imani Kai and Austin Dean’s romance began with a Facebook friend request. “We met through our mutual friend Shane back in 2012 when we were both in college,” Imani, who is now a global PR associate for Tiffany & Co. as well as the founder of a jewellery brand called, remembers of her first encounter with her photojournalist husband. “I didn’t think much of it when he sent me the friend request, but we messaged back and forth and decided to get together the following day.
They got engaged in March of 2021. “I feel like I always knew Imani was ‘the one,’” Austin says. “There were hella times when I just stopped and looked at her like ‘Yea, I’m going to end up marrying this girl.’” He worked with Majee, a New York City-based custom jewellery designer, to create the perfect ring. “Imani and I had a trip planned to Miami, and I decided that was the perfect moment to actually propose,” Austin says.
They tried not to overthink anything. “We just went with what felt right to us,” Imani explains. “We went for a modern, minimalist theme incorporating only two colours: black and white. We planned all of the details ourselves, and we were thoughtful about making sure our families felt involved in the process as well.” On the day of the wedding, planner Margie Bennett stepped in to handle production.
The two took inspiration from haute couture runways of the ’90s and early ’00s to create a modern cape-style gown with dramatic high shoulders and a plunging neckline. “Dorothy is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about every part of building a bespoke garment,” Imani explains. “She was sure to incorporate every intricate detail I asked for.
