You are the queen on your wedding day. Why not
dress like one? While the
wedding dress, bridal shoes and
wedding jewelry can make you look just like a queen, it's the
wedding hair accessories that really put the 'royal' into your ensemble, especially when your bridal hair accessory is a sparkling
wedding tiara.
The bridal tiara is the perfect complement to the
modern wedding dress. You don't even need diamonds to make them shine. In fact, most
bridal tiaras are made of sparkling crystals or rhinestones. The
wedding crystal tiaras are comfortable and affordable and they give modern brides an excuse to ditch the long, flowing wedding veil immediately after the ceremony.
The good news is that the
modern bridal tiara is not nearly as elaborate or ostentatious as its predecessors. More often than not, it is a short, thin band that is adorned with sparkling faux rhinestones and imitation pearls. When worn under a veil, the
headpiece adds a bit of sparkle to the bride after the veil is lifted.
But how to find the
perfect wedding tiara? If the tiara is the wrong shape, it may make your face look too long and thin or too short and full. Let us take a moment to review a few common face shapes and the recommended
wedding tiaras for each.
Oval Face: Brides with oval-shaped faces should avoid wedding tiaras that have high peaks, which will make your face even longer. A short wedding crystal tiara that is not overly ornate and is worn on the front of the head can make your face look less oval.
Round Face: A bride with a round or plump face should select a bridal tiara that has some height. A bridal tiara that has a peak will make your face look thinner and longer than it actually is. The affect can be quite striking in formal photographs.
Full Face: A short, thin wedding tiara that peaks into a
classic "V" on top will make a full face appear a bit longer. The illusion works well when paired with a slightly shorter wedding dress.
Long Face: Brides with long faces should choose
wedding tiaras that are thin and even have little or no height. These headpieces draw attention to the face without making it look longer than it is.
