Wedding Tiaras

Shape of your face

A tiara and veil can enhance your natural beauty or draw attention to your flaws. The wrong tiara for your face shape can make a long face look "horsey" or a full face appear fat. The general rule of thumb is your headpiece should balance out the shape of your face. If you have a full or round face, for example, consider princess tiaras with peaks at the top to elongate your face. Conversely, a long face requires a flatter (and perhaps wider) piece. Heavy beading or other adornments can help balance a long, thin face. Oval faces are pleasingly symmetrical and tend to look well with most headpieces (although you will probably want to avoid a peaked tiara). To break up an oval face vertically, try a bridal headpiece that fits low in front, across your forehead.

Your gown

Your wedding tiara should match or otherwise complement the gown. In general, pearls, beads, crystals, patterns, or colors in your dress should be repeated in the tiara. For example:

• If your gown has elaborate, embroidered patterns, look for a tiara with similar detailing.
• A gown with clean lines calls for a more streamlined tiara.
• Wear a pearl tiara with an ivory or cream colored gown, or match the tiara pearls to those in your earrings or necklace.
• Crystal or rhinestone tiaras without ornamental details will go with any dress.
• A vintage tiara may set off your traditional gown, while a more modern design looks better with contemporary fashions.

Your total look

Remember that you are striving for an overall balanced look, one that conveys an impression of taste and elegance. No single aspect of your wedding ensemble should take precedence. Rather, the design of your tiara and veil should complete the look, transforming your eye-catching gown into a truly spectacular vision.
