Wedding Tiaras

3 Important Things To Keep In Mind When Choosing Your Wedding Tiaras

Tiaras or diadems, as these are sometimes called have been around since many centuries. In Roman, Greek and Egyptian histories, wedding tiaras was a status symbol and a compulsory wedding accessory worn by brides. Today, these are more appropriate for beauty pageants, proms, wedding and balls etc. In some cultures, brides still continue to wear bridal tiaras along with veil, making them look even more beautiful.

The artistic arrangement of the wires on the wedding tiaras is something, which catch attention of almost everyone. The placement of stones and embellishments in tiaras is beautifully done by the craftsmen. Weddings are one of the happiest moments of a girl's life and every girl wants to look like princess on that day. Well, wedding tiaras are something which will surely make you look more beautiful, when you walk down the aisle.

There are 3 important things to keep in mind when choosing your wedding tiara:

Dress
It often helps to have already chosen your wedding gown before looking to add the accessories, so have a sketch or picture of it to hand when tiara hunting. Is it a strapless dress, a v-neck, a halter-neck? Does it have a scooped or rounded neckline, or is it off the shoulder? Is it beaded or decorated, embroidered or plain? What is the texture and style of your dress? All these areas will greatly influence the style of tiara that will perfectly complement your wedding outfit.

Colour
Taking a swatch of your dress material, plus some magazine cut-outs showing your chosen colour theme, can help in choosing your accessories. Even if you decide not to have any bold or obvious colour in your tiara, you can subtly enhance your look by choosing one shade of jewel over another.

Hairstyle
Whether or not you have already met with a hairdresser for your wedding day, you instinctively know what hairstyles truly suit you. So whether you have long hair and want to leave it to flow naturally, have a short crop, want an updo, or are having a few strands framing your face...take this into account when looking at the height and shape of a tiara.

Other types include the double headband and the V-band. The double headband consists of two headbands joined together at the ends. This type of bridal tiara is seen as the most flexible of all the types as it can used like a princess headpiece or a headband on top of the head or as an accessory for a bun hairstyle. Last but not least are V-bands. These are seen as the most restricting as they are only suitable to a specific type of face. As compared to other types of tiaras and crowns, these are placed on the forehead, accentuating the face more. This type of bridal tiara is most suitable for individuals with longer faces.
