Traditional and Modern Wedding Tiaras

Wedding tiaras originated in the 18th century and were a common hair adornment for brides, often decorated with flowers. Over time, they became more regal, using gemstones and other valuable decorations to adorn them. They have recently experienced a resurgence in popularity. Modern wedding tiaras often include floral, leaf or botanical elements and are embellished with accents made from pearl, crystal and opal. They can have gold or silver tones. Although tiaras can be quite expensive, there are also affordable options that use beads and other inexpensive elements to create a similarly luxurious effect.

Wedding tiaras are formal wedding accessories, so brides should consider the overall formality of their event before deciding to wear one. If you’re hosting a casual affair, you may want to choose other types of wedding hair accessories, such as wedding pins, combs or clips. Be sure to coordinate your wedding tiara selection with the style of your wedding dress and jewelry. An intricate tiara may go best with a simple dress. That said, this is your moment – so choose whichever hair accessory makes you look and feel most beautiful.

Tiaras are designed to be worn on the crown of your head. If you’re not sure how to attach one to your hair, it’s a good idea to discuss in advance with a professional hairstylist. Also, you don’t need to choose between a wedding tiara and a bridal veil – some tiara styles act as an anchor for your veil.
