A Wedding Tiara as Worn by a Princess

Wedding Tiara - history

A Wedding Tiara is the thing to wear right now, and most brides seem to have one. When you look for tiaras online you get inundated with articles about their origin and what the real tiaras were. Why?

Tiaras look great, that is all that matters. We don’t go on about the origins of wedding rings, or beach weddings, so why should be bothered about Wedding Tiara being worn only by kings and emperors and not by women? Does that mean that the groom should wear the tiara and the bride the tie and pin?

Wedding Tiara - design

One of the reasons for the popularity of a Wedding Tiara is that the design of wedding gowns has reached some sort of a plateau and designers are seeking some other aspect of wedding fashion to expend their energies on. Hair styles and their adornment seemed like a good alternative and the hair stylists and others have profited from the dress designers’ lack of imagination. Weddings have also become high fashion events, and the rise in the almost universal celebrity obsession throughout the western world has resulted in massive increase in demand for celebrity style adornments and hair styles.

Glamour and glitz are the name of the day, and even if people do not realize it, are slowly becoming part of our daily lives. Holograms and diffraction metallic effects are popular, not only on cosmetic cartons, but also on cereal boxed and toothpaste boxes! In a roundabout that is connected with the increasing popularity of Wedding Tiara.

Wedding Tiara - choices

Not that it is a bad thing, since tiaras look fabulous with the right hairstyle and dress. So how do you choose? The first thing you must look is your hair. A Wedding Tiara does not look right with a pony tail! However, a typical high style, such as used by Audrey Hepburn in ‘Roman Holiday’, looks great with a tiara, just as Audrey’s did. Princess Diana wore a comb tiara both at the front and right at the top of her head with a swept back hair style.

In fact it is likely that it was Princess Diana that was responsible for the sudden surge in popularity of the Wedding Tiara, and that the designers simply fed the demand. At her wedding to Charles in 1981 her veil was held in place by the Spencer family diamond tiara that was a very substantial piece of head gear! Although 1981 seems bit early to have started of this tiara craze, the tiara was her signature hair adornment at most official engagements.

Wedding Tiara - budget

When choosing your Wedding Tiara you should first look to your wedding gown for ideas on style. The color of your wedding dress is important, since the tiara can be designed to have stones that complement the color of your dress. Tiaras are available with a number of different stones, though these can be replaced in the settings with more appropriate gemstones or colored glass or crystal. Much depends on your budget and it is few brides that can afford to decide to replace diamonds with sapphires, or emeralds with rubies. That is why most contain crystals or diamante rather than the real thing.

The style of the tiara can suit the style of the dress; a lacy dress can be complemented by a lace design tiara or a beaded dress with a tiara studded with pearls. Tiaras can be given a romantic theme with intertwined heart designs or alternatively even have the initial of the bride and groom. Few Wedding Tiara are in genuine gold or silver, and even fewer are adorned with real diamonds, emeralds and rubies.

Wedding Tiara - hairstyle

It is the look and style that is important more than the actual stones. The shape of the Wedding Tiara should complement that of the gown, and a tiara that rises up to a point goes well with a V-necked gown. Curves in your gown will suit curves in your tiara, but very few people notice these finer points of styling. It is your hair that most people will notice, and how your tiara goes with it.

You should first get your hair done in the style that you intend to wear at your wedding, then try a selection of tiaras. If you choose the wrong tiara for your hairstyle it will look wrong. If you have decided to wear a Wedding Tiara, then it is important that it suits your hairstyle and coloring more than anything else. Your wedding dress style and color might be important but is your hair that will affect the look of your tiara more than either of these.

Wedding Tiara - decisions

The way your Wedding Tiara looks will be almost as important as the look of your wedding gown, such is the impact that it can have. Think carefully, therefore before deciding to have one, and having made the decision do your best to ensure that it suits the style and color of your hair. Choose wisely, and the effect will be breathtaking. That, after all, is why they are worn by princesses.
