By Fred Barr


The classic wedding tiara is derived from the crowns wore by royalty and clergy members. These headpieces are known for their intricately adorned bands of precious metals. Today, as we know, they are the traditional bride's favorite wedding accessory. And this is as it should be, as every bride is a princess. We have compiled what to look for as you begin your wedding tiara shopping spree, as there is no shortage of options available to you in both style and price.

Bridal Headband: A brides headband is often decorated with delicate etchings. This lovely bridal accessory should be placed vertically on the brides head just behind the ears. The headband is an excellent choice for the bride looking for a more subtle headpiece with a definite feel of elegant style. Headbands come in simple straight forward designs to those encrusted with gems and pearls. The headband can work with any hairstyle.

Bridal Double Headband: Take your standard bridal headband and multiply by two! With a double dose of bands this headpiece is a great choice for modern or classic brides. You will wear this piece at a forward angle in a similar fashion to that of the classic tiara. Double headbands can be found in ornate and simple styles.

V-Band: The beautiful V-band headpiece is a wonderful statement piece worn on the brides brow at a horizontal position. With its graceful position, it often gives the bride a feeling of vintage elegance and sophistication. The V-band comes in single and double bands and is often adorned with stones. The V-band is definitely experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

Wedding Bun Ring: While not a tiara in the strict definition, this headpiece is a very popular choice for brides of all styles. Made for an up do, slide the bun ring on after you put your hair up in a bun. Coming in many styles you are sure to find a bun ring that will finish up your wedding day look.

Classic Bridal Tiara: From real life princesses to wedding day princesses the tiara is an amazing bridal look! Whether you opt for simple and delicate piece or an ornate crown you are sure to find a bridal tiara that fits your style. This piece is worn horizontally across the brow and is a great choice for any bride.

Choosing Your Headpiece: When choosing your bridal headpiece you should consider a few factors first. Depending on the shape of your face, some headpieces will be a better fit than others. So if you have a round face you should definitely go with a tiara with a high point. Women with a longer face should instead aim for sporting a more light and dainty headpiece. If you are a bride with an oval face the bun ring, single or double headband, or the V-band is the way to go. You should also make your headpiece decision with your hair color in mind. Our blonde brides will find white gold and sterling silver headpieces are the way to go while red and brown haired brides should consider gold, ivory, or other metal shaded pieces. Brides sporting a trendy short hairstyle should stay away from larger sized tiaras. And Don't forget to think about if you are going to choose to wear a veil.
