Styles of Bridal Tiaras


The different styles of tiaras have varied so much throughout history. They have ranged from royal coronets and princess tiaras to a modern trend towards side tiaras and asymmetrical designs. The question is, which style do you go for? Your choice will depend on the hairstyle you choose for your big day and also the style of dress you go for.

If you want to go for the classic princess tiara look there a huge range of good quality crystal tiaras to choose from. Princess tiaras are usually symmetrical in shape and reach a peaked height in the taper down at each side. This style of bridal tiara looks great when matched with hair that is styled long and flowing or a half up-do so that your tiara has the appearance of three dimensional height against the hair and stands out beautifully. If you have your bridal tiara designed you can even have it made to match your wedding colours by using Swarovski crystals and highlight your theme beautifully. You could even incorporate ‘something blue’ into it by using crystals in this colour!

For half coronet style bridal tiaras the best hair style is a structured chignon (bun). A half coronet tiara is basically half the shape of a crown and is also symmetrical. It tends to have a greater height in the centre than a standard classical tiara. You can keep the tiara simple or embellish it to your heart’s content to create a stunning masterpiece that is sure to catch the eye and scream elegance.

The current trend for brides is to wear their hair in a side swept style. This type of hairstyle is very versatile and can be worn with a number of different bridal tiaras. The side tiara is extremely popular at the moment. The design is asymmetrical and this means that the majority of the feature is on one side and the tiara is secured to your head with a silk head band that matches the colour of your hair.  This type of bridal tiara give the impression it is floating within your hair thus creating a very dramatic look and looks exquisite in photographs. By incorporating some pearls and muted Swarovski crystals you can create a bridal tiara that royalty would be proud of! It will catch the light wonderfully and sparkle amazingly both in natural and romantic wedding lighting.

Bridal tiaras come in so many different shapes and styles and can be crafted using gold and silver.  A beautifully designed tiara can make a bride look and feel like a princess on her special day. You can now easily shop for bridal tiaras online. There are so many online stores that you will be sure to find the perfect bridal tiara to match your dress, hair and wedding theme.

Choosing the Perfect Bridal Jewellery


On your wedding day you will want to shine like a star and you can achieve this by wearing the most beautiful dress and accessorising with stunning bridal jewellery.  In this article I will give you a few tips on how to choose the right bridal jewellery for you.

Firstly, do not start looking for jewellery until you have chosen your dress.  It is handy to take a picture of the dress with you when you shop for jewellery or have a copy next to the computer if you are shopping online.  This is so you keep the style of your dress in mind.  Speak to experts and chat to your dress retailer.  You can also contact wedding jewellery specialists and read magazine articles to get as much advice as you can.  It is all free advice and will only help you to look the best you can on your special day.

Set a budget.  Your budget may not stretch to buying a whole collection of jewellery and if this is the case then think about buying one special piece of quality jewellery and finding matching accessories elsewhere.  By doing this you will also end up with a very special and gorgeous keepsake which will have a huge amount of sentimental value.  Think about the hairstyle you are going to have on the day and then choose your hair accessories. Have a chat with your hairdresser and go through the options.  Tear out pages from magazines to show your hairdresser as this will all help you to get the exact look you want.

You can be as individual as you like with your bridal jewellery.  You can easily create a unique look by layering different necklaces, using cluster brooches on the shoulder or hip and also by customising your dress with a corsage or sash.  Pearls are also perfect for a wedding.  Pearls are timelessly elegant and also very flattering.  If you want to add some extra sparkle and glamour you can combine pearl jewellery with diamantes and crystals.

Make sure you do not forget about your bridesmaids! You want your bridesmaids to match with your theme and style and jewellery is also a great way to say thank you.  If you choose their bridal jewellery carefully your bridesmaids will have something amazing to wear on the day and will also have a wonderful keepsake after the event.

It is important to order your jewellery in plenty of time for your last dress fitting.  This way you will be able to see the whole look come together with shoes, veil, wedding dress and of course your bridal jewellery.  Choosing your bridal jewellery should be fun and is one of the best parts of planning your wedding.  Get your friends involved and do not settle for anything less than perfect as you will want your special day to be perfect!
