Will it be a shimmering silver wedding tiara with rhinestones or the classic golden one with pearls? A wedding tiara is the ultimate accessory to complement your wedding ensemble. An ornament that was an essential accessory to be worn at all the social functions in the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte surely enjoys a coveted grace and elegance.

Wedding tiaras come in all different forms, including the likes of headbands, double headband, comb, bun rings, v-band and a back piece. When deciding on a suitable tiara for your wedding day, the most important thing to take into account is the trio of your wedding outfit, jewelry and most important of all, the hairdo you plan to carry on the big day.

To begin with, when you select the tiara and the jewels or stones to go into it, watch out for the hairstyle you want to carry. Nothing accentuates a well-coiffured look than a pretty and snug shimmering tiara. For instance, a bun ring will complement the classic updo hairstyle in just the right manner, while a back piece works the best with a low bun or a French twist.

Tiara Shapes

When choosing a tiara that will lend just the right charm to your face, start by considering your basic face structure or face-cut. A tiara with some height or peak will go best for those with a round face, while those with an oval face will do fine by choosing one without a peak at the top.

Worn with or without a veil, a tiara is usually embellished with precious jewels such as Austrian crystals, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, fresh water pearls and faux pearls. The color, tone and style of your wedding gown will clearly indicate what jewels, stones or pearls need to be embellished in your wedding tiara as well as what other wedding jewelry you choose to wear.

Take for instance the classic and conventional white gowns; a tiara that is silverstone, rhinestone or white pearl looks wonderful. A wedding gown in ivory goes pretty well with a tiara in the gold-tone or ivory pearls. Then there are diamond white gowns that are quite new to the family of wedding ensembles and do well with an accompanying tiara in gold, silver or white pearl. On the other hand, a champagne or dark ivory tone of the wedding gown will need to be matched up with a gold tone tiara or dark ivory pearls.

If you are the types who dreads the thought of selecting your own jewelry, especially the tricky ones as the tiara, you can just go by a few basic ground rules. For instance, a tiara, embellished with Austrian crystals and no pearls will go with almost any tone or style of a wedding gown, while pearl tiaras go well with off-white or ivory gowns. Meanwhile, women with short hair do well with a lightweight tiara, such as the headband styles or any of the other more petite shapes.
