Tips for of picking the best Tiara for you.

• Pick your gown first. The Tiara should compliment your gown not overwhelm it.

• The Tiara should flatter your face. Work with your facial features to get the best look.
• Round Face: Give your face a longer look by choosing a tiara with some height. Use one that peaks at the forehead.
• Long Face: Choose a tiara with a little height or no height. Use one that extends across the head in an even height.
• Oval face: Keep it low. Avoid a tiara with a peak. A peak will make your face appear longer.
• Keep jewelry to a minimum. Each piece should work together to create a beautiful look. Be careful with earrings! If your tiara is elaborate, don’t wear large flashy earrings that will fight with the beauty of the tiara.
• Pick a hairstyle that will enhance the look of your tiara and showoff your face.

Beautiful updo’s work great and add a touch of classic beauty to your look.
Scale is important. The more petite the bride, the smaller tiara and veil she should pick. There is nothing worse than a petite bride weighed down by a dress with a large train, huge tiara, and cathedral veil. A full circle veil that is shoulder or elbow length works nicely. The taller the bride, the more veil and tiara she can wear. A tall bride would look silly in a tiny tiara and little veil, unless she was going for a very pared-down look.  The tiara must finish off your bridal veil, accentuate your hairstyle, frame your face and complement the wedding gown as well. But at the same time it shouldn’t be too big or extravagant so as to hide your hairstyle. Select your wedding tiara with care.  It reflects your elegance, taste and adds the perfect finishing touch to your bridal ensemble.

Having your bridesmaid wear their own tiara is a great way to make her feel special.  It adds a sense of style to your bridesmaid jewelry if you use more than one color.  When selecting your bridesmaid tiara you need to consider her facial features.  Balancing her face to the tiara is a very important aspect.  Usually the bride selects a smaller tiara that is less elaborate.

There is a wide range of tiaras for sale today.  These tiaras can be flat from side to side or have peaks at the center.  The can be made of pearls, crystals, gold, or silver.  Here are some suggestions you should follow before you purchase your bridesmaids tiara.

• Gown Details

The gown should compliment and coordinate well with the wedding theme and not               overpower the tiara.  If you want a special colour crystal in your tiara to match the rest of         your wedding day colour scheme always ask.

• Budget

Cost is another factor for many brides who are looking for a little glitter in their wedding         day jewelry. Precious and semi-precious stones and crystals can make the wedding         budget over the top. Moderately priced quality rhinestone headpieces and tiaras look         stunning while staying within budget.

• Facial Outlook

A tiara should draw attention to your face by framing it, not draw attention away             from it. The wrong shape tiara can make your face look too long and thin or too             short and full.

• Hairstyle

Tiara should be light and comfortable to wear.  Decide upon your hair style for the day.         Ideally , when you visit your hairdresser take your tiara with you. Your hair style and tiara     should be one. Then if you are not happy you will have time to change it. They accent an        upswept hairstyles as well as shorter hairstyles.

• Exaggeration

The overall balance of your outfit should be such that no one piece overwhelms another.        When you walk down the aisle, you don’t want to look like a bride with a tiara on, you         want to look like a simple princess.

Remember it is your wedding and you are the most important person on the day. Make         your tiara special. Do not perhaps choose the same tiara as your bridesmaids. Think of         your wedding as a whole and make sure that all the elements complement each other.

• Round face: To make your face appear longer, choose a tiara with some height or one that has a peak.  A princess style tiara is perfect for this.

• Long face: We recommend headbands or tiaras with little or no height that extend over your head from one side to the other at an even height.

• Oval face: Avoid pieces with a peak at the top, which will make your face appear longer. Wearing a headband, forehead piece, or a back piece will make your face appear less oval.
• Full face: To create the illusion of a longer face, wear a tiara that peaks into a “V” at the top.

It may be confusing at first trying to follow so many different rules, which is why the tiara should be one of the last few items to be selected. Once you have selected the dress, accessories and hairstyle you are going to go with on your wedding day, it is really not that difficult to know what to look for.  Remember that everything about your ensemble should flow well together, creating a timeless, classy, elegant and sophisticated look. So have it down, know exactly what you want on your wedding day, how you want to look, what you are going to wear, what jewelry and hairstyle you want and you are well on your way to selecting a beautiful tiara for the finishing touch. Just be sure you don’t change your mind about anything halfway through!

Tiaras are some of the most beautifully crafted jewelry pieces of the past two centuries. Any woman who’s ever wanted to be queen for one day understands the appeal of the most magnificently impractical of accessories, the tiara. Once an aristocratic status symbol, more recently seen mainly in the bridal weddings, the tiara today is enjoying style renewed.

There is an endless selection of tiaras that range in size and complexity from small, simple headbands with a little bit of sparkle to huge and shining crowns that are fit for royalty.

A huge part of feeling like the prom is that night is making sure she has the right accents with real glamour. The secret to dressing successfully for the prom lies on the use of accessories. Wearing appropriate prom accessories can modify average outfits into fantastic outfits. However, every person has different tastes and preferences.

During the prom ball a king and queen is announced to wear the crowned jewel, so it is important for the prom queen to dress according to that attire in hopes that she is named and bears the touch of elegance on her head. If not named in court it is not uncommon to see girls wear the classic simple headband that is very pretty with out making an overstatement and keeping the princess look. The tiara headband can easily coordinate with any color wedding gown.

If you choose to wear a tiara, you’ll need to make sure that you practice your hairstyle with your tiara or that you take the tiara to the salon for a trial run. Prom night is a time you’ll remember for the rest of your life, so be sure to be prepared and don’t wait until the last minute to include a tiara as a part of your outfit.

Here are a few suggestions you should consider if you decide to grace your presence with a princess tiara

• A tiara adds a lot of sparkle. That means you’ll need to be careful about the amount of flash in the rest of your outfit. Pairing a tiara with lots of glittery makeup or too much other jewelry makes the whole outfit look overdone.

• Your tiara should not clash with your neckline. If your dress has a fussy neckline, opt for a simple tiara. Flashier tiaras should be reserved for a dress that has a simple neckline.

• If you have your hair done before the prom, make sure that you wear a button-down shirt to the salon. There’s nothing worse than trying to pull a shirt off over your head without messing up your hair or pulling off your tiara.

• A tiara is a classic look. Don’t try to pair it with a very modern dress. Keep your dress either simple with smooth lines (use any kind of tiara) or go for a real princess look. But don’t opt for a full-out crown with a frilly dress or your classmates will expect to see you holding a wand too.

They compliment hairstyles and are a fantastic addition to any adorned dress the girl should wear. Traditionally white and as simple or ornate as the parents and child choose, the hairstyle for little girls making their First Communion reacquires the same attention and thought as the dress. No matter what hairstyle you choose for your daughter’s First Communion Day, hair should be neat and well maintained to ensure that the significance and beauty of the occasion is acknowledged.

It’s best to have a hairstyle into which the tiara can be securely anchored.  The most stable choice would be an up style.  A partial up style is suitable if you want to show off the hair’s length.  A good style for a young girl that will provide a stable base for a tiara to be secured is a partial french braid style.

Part the hair in the center and french braid the upper right and side back to the crown area.  Next, french braid the upper left and side back to the crown area as well.  You can join the two tails together and leave the length un-braided and curl the hair to blend with the rest of the hair at the back, or you can braid the sections fully to create long braided tails which can be wound together at the crown of the head and secured in place with hairpins to form a braided bun.

The remainder of the hair can be rolled in hair rollers to create a cascading fall of curls. If she is wearing her hair down then I would recommend that you place the tiara at a 45-degree angle to show off the tiara to the best effect.

An alternative to the tiara is a bun wrap which is a mini tiara designed to wrap around a bun.  A First Holy Communion Tiara is an alternative look for little girls who prefer not to wear a First Holy Communion Veil, though it is equally as stunning and acceptable to wear both.
