I get asked so many questions when it comes to brides choosing tiaras that I thought I’d dedicate a blog post to them. So here are the most common questions I get asked concerning wedding tiaras.
Do I place a tiara like a headband?
No the easiest way to position a tiara is to balance it on the top of your head and use your fingers to push the ends of the bands down about an inch, just so the tiara is leaning back slightly, but not so much that it lies flat to your head. If the tiara still feels loose you can slide grips along the band into your hair.
Can I wear other wedding hair accessories with a tiara?
Tiaras are normally worn at the front of the head so using other wedding accessories such as pins and grips are great for the back of the head which is where your guests will be looking throughout your wedding ceremony. Be careful not to wear a tiara and then something else such as a comb as this will look too over the top. You should have one focal point for your wedding hair accessories (your tiara) then add interest with smaller items which don’t detract from the tiara.
Do bridesmaids wear a tiaras?
There’s nothing stopping bridesmaids wearing tiaras, these tend be more more simplistic tiaras but many brides choose something else for their bridesmaids such as headbands or wedding hairvines.
What other occasions do people wear a tiara?
Tiaras are worn for valedictory dinners (the UK equivalent of the US prom), confirmation and by rose queens as well as weddings.
Your crystal tiaras mention clear and clear AB crystals, what’s the difference?
Clear crystals are just that, perfectly clear. Clear AB crystals have a coating. This coating can either cover just one side of the crystal (AB) or both sides (ABx2) and is named after the northern lights – aurora borealis, as the coating has a similar effect. If you look very closely, the coating is similar to the colourful effect oil has in a puddle of water, from a distance this coating reflect all the colours of the rainbow and has intense sparkle.
Should the stones on my tiara match my wedding dress?
For a more elegant look always choose a tiara which has stones that match the ones on your wedding dress. This doesn’t necessarly mean that the entire tiara has to created from that type of stone but it should be included. So if your wedding dress has Swarovski crystals then so should your tiara.
Should I choose a silver or gold tiara?
This depends on your skin tone, unless you have gold or silver in your wedding dress. Usually you should stick with the jewellery colour you normally wear as this is probably the one that suits you best. If you have gold or silver accents in your wedding dress make sure your wedding tiara matches this.
