Tiara Basics

YOUR WEDDING ATTIRE JUST ISN'T FINISHED WITHOUT YOUR TIARA!
The tiara is the finishing touch to any wedding day look.  Traditionally a tiara is a crown that does not go all the way around the head.  Only a crown completes a full circle.  
Today's brides have many options depending on their style of hair or many just don't feel the need to wear one.  That doesn't mean there isn't an option for everyone.  
Tiaras come in silver, gold and antique finishes.  They have pearls , rhinestones or crystals or a combination of the three.  They can be an inch tall or 5 inches tall.  
A newer option is the headband. It is thinner, sits flat on the head but still made of rhinestones, crystals, and pearls.  It is a good option for the bride that is leaving her hair down.  It is also less formal than a tiara.  
The other options you can check out are small hairpins.  If you are having and updo you can place these small but noticeable accessories directly into your hair. You can use more than one with many brides using 3 to 5 in the hair. These can be as simple as single pearls, or single rhinestones or they also come in spray designs.
