Wedding Tiaras Guide
Your wedding tiara is just as important purchase as your wedding dress as you are going to buy one in your lifetime. We guess you have spent considerable time picking your wedding dress and taken care in your decision, so now it is time to find a dream wedding tiara to match. We can imagine when you purchased your wedding dress you tried on lots of different styles before deciding on your perfect dress, unfortunately it is unlikely you will not have the luxury of this at your local bridal shop because they may not stock a wider range of tiaras.
Our tiara guide will help you find the tiara that is right for you so that you can choose from the wide range from tiara boutiques or the best place we suggest is online.
We are going to look at some different examples of wedding tiaras that are available from bridal shops and online. Tiaras come in different materials but the most common are Swarovski, Diamante and Peals.
Diamante Tiaras are good for a tight budget or if you have blown your total wedding attire budget on your dress! These tiaras although good for your budget do not skimp on detail and they will still make you feel like a princess on your special day. Diamante tiaras are not always handmade so bespoke Diamante wedding tiaras are harder to come by. If you are choosing a Diamante wedding tiara then research and scrolling the internet will take some time but it will be worth it.
Pearl tiaras can be made quite cheaply like the Diamante Tiaras especially when using faux pearls. Faux pearls although sound cheap in style there is not much difference in the look especially for your wedding day when you will be only wearing the tiara once and the guests will be concentrating more on the dress than your tiara anyway. Pearls are a little more flexible and you can find some nice wedding jewellery to go with pearls. Your wedding dress may have some pearls on it so a pearl tiara might be a natural solution but be careful there is not too much pearls going on as you might find yourself looking to vintage.
Handcrafted Pearl Wedding Tiaras are made from glass or fresh water pearls, although these come a little more expensive you will be able to style the tiara how you wish to suit your dress and your features.
Crystal tiaras come in more options and tend to be the most popular for weddings at the moment. The choice of different colours gives these tiaras more of a wider audience and variety. You can add hints of colour through the crystals to match the colour theme of the wedding or even the colour from the wedding flowers in your bouquet.
Crystal tiaras like the crystals themselves tend to be handcrafted however please note that sometimes this can come at a premium. Contact your wedding tiara supplier/maker for more details and options available to you.
Now you know what different tiaras are available to you we need to make sure your tiara is suited to your style and facial shape.
If you are planning on wearing your hair up then a medium to tallish tiara would be more suitable however if you are planning on wearing your hair down or loose then a headband or smaller tiara is going to be more suitable. All tiaras have ways of them being attached or pinned to your hair, there are also options for flexi wedding tiaras.
Your face shape might be round, long or oval, whatever the shape or size there will be a suitable wedding tiara for you. Tiaras can help detract from your natural shape, for example a smaller or flatter tiara will make your face seem rounder whereas a round face would need a tall tiara to help it feel longer. Brides with longer slim faces should stick to headbands or smaller wedding tiaras. Remember you might opt for other accessories such as clips, combs and pins. The brides among us with oval shaped faces will be able to get away with all types of tiaras but a medium sized tiara is advisable if you are having your hair up.
Some more considerations for your wedding tiara include the jewellery you will be wearing to accompany your wedding dress, the wedding dress itself is also a consideration and last but not least your Wedding Veil.
