Picking The Right Wedding Tiara

By Fred Barr


The classic wedding tiara is derived from the crowns wore by royalty and clergy members. These headpieces are known for their intricately adorned bands of precious metals. Today, as we know, they are the traditional bride's favorite wedding accessory. And this is as it should be, as every bride is a princess. We have compiled what to look for as you begin your wedding tiara shopping spree, as there is no shortage of options available to you in both style and price.

Wedding Headband: The choice of brides looking for a delicate headpiece is definitely the bridal headband. This classic piece is worn vertically behind the ears of the bride. Often decorated with intricate detail and pearls or gem stones, you can also find versions that derive their elegance from their simplicity. Whether you wear your hair up or down, you can find a headband that will suit your needs.

Bridal Double Headband: Take your standard bridal headband and multiply by two! With a double dose of bands this headpiece is a great choice for modern or classic brides. You will wear this piece at a forward angle in a similar fashion to that of the classic tiara. Double headbands can be found in ornate and simple styles.

Bridal V-Band Headpiece: The V-band should be worn low on the brow of the bride at a horizontal angel. This look is hot right now with the vintage brides and will lend a sophisticated touch to any bride. Whether you get a single or double band it is worn the same and will definitely make a statement.

The Bun Ring: This one is not really a tiara but it is definitely worth noting. The bun ring is a beautiful option for the bride opting for an up do. With its flat, wide construction it is often found to be covered in intricate detail and can be covered in jewels. Just slide it over your hair bun to complete your look.

Wedding Tiara: Every bride can feel like a princess with the right tiara. Worn across the forehead, tiaras can be found in all shapes and sizes. Made from precious metals, cheaper metals, and even plastic there are many options for you to choose from. Many brides are opting to add a veil to their bridal tiara. With or without a veil this is a great look.

Picking The Right Tiara: When choosing your bridal headpiece consider the shape of your face. Go with a high pointed tiara if you have a round shaped face. Grab a light, smaller sized piece if you have a long shaped face. Brides with an oval shaped face can gravitate toward the bun ring, a single or double headband, or the V-band headpiece. If you have brown or red hair go with ivory or gold headpieces. The brides with golden locks should choose a platinum, silver, or white gold headpiece. And for our trendy short haired brides, make sure to go with a smaller bridal tiara.
