HAIR STYLING

Selectiing Bridal Tiaras   by Julie Carlson

Selecting a bridal tiara can be done when the bride has already chosen her wedding gown and somehow, the hairdo is already decided. It is good to choose well-made and high quality wedding tiaras. One can consider having a tiara with fresh water pearls, Austrian crystals, Swarovski stones, multi-surfaced rhinestones, glass stone, polished beads, and even silver or gold plated bridal tiaras. The bridal tiara need not be expensive to ensure standard feature since cheap bridal tiaras can also come in good quality. Weddings on tight budgets can actually buy from stores which offer discount wedding tiaras.

As mentioned, accents and details of bridal tiaras are the following: Austrian crystals which are known to be superior quality rhinestones, clear rhinestones, Swarovski crystals with certain cuts and style which gives the crystals utmost shine, fresh water pearls which are oval in shape and are off white in color which are good to use when the bridal gown is ivory or off-white, and also, fake or faux pearls which are perfectly round and sparkling white in color best worn with white wedding gowns.

Choosing a wedding tiara depends on the shape of the face of the bride. A tiara should draw attention to the face by creating a facial frame, not divert attention from the face. Wrongly chosen shape of the bridal tiara can make the brideâ??s face look longer and thinner or too short and round. For naturally long or oval shaped faces, choose shorter tiaras or those with little or no height, also tiara with peak on the center are preferable. For round and full faces, choose tiaras with long height and those with higher peaks.

Wedding tiaras may also be alternated with different headpieces which come in different forms. It can be a bridal comb, headband, or hair pin. But the wedding tiara has been the most popular among these head wears. This is because bridal tiaras will create the most dramatic appearance. They are known to be attractive accents to any bridal gown, whether plain and modern to the traditional ball gown inspired wedding dresses. Bridal tiaras can be worn with or without a veil or train. Tiaras flatter hair dos in any style.

Alternatives to wedding veils and tiaras are headbands, comb, and hair pins. Headbands are very viable choices. Brides who want to let their hair down can make use of headbands to manage their hair and avoid it from covering their face. It can also be worn as accent to upswept hairstyles and will look stylish in brides with shorter hairdo. Double or triple headbands are also good choices. The double headband is the most versatile, as it can be used flat on the head like a usual headband, tilted forward like a bridal tiara, or wrapped around a hair bun, depending on style of the bride. A comb is a single ornament that can be worn with almost all hair style. It looks like a tiara, but only smaller. Depending on the style, it can sometimes give a more casual look and can be worn on different parts of the head. Hair pins are also very resilient. They are a great option for all hairstyles, whether formal or casual, up or down. Hair pins are very popular for brides who have beach weddings.
