Bridal Tiaras Finding One to Complete Your Look

Kate Middleton may have worn the tiara of the decade when she wed Prince William in April 2011, but not all tiaras come from the Tower of London. Nor do you have to be a member of the royal family to wear one. As the bride, you will reign over your wedding day, no matter what you wear. But don't forget the tiara, which can add a touch of elegance to your look.

What Princess Kathryn wore was the Cartier "Halo" tiara that was created in 1936 for the wife of King George VI, who was later known as the Queen Mother. The tiara was a gift that King George gave his bride just prior to his ascension to the throne of England. The tiara next appeared as a gift for the 18th birthday present of the heir apparent, then-Princess Elizabeth, now the Queen of England. Perhaps as a sign of affirmation, Princess Kathryn was afforded the honor of borrowing the tiara to wear for her nuptials.

Today's bride does not have to wait for a nod from her future grandmother-in-law to wear a tiara. There are many tiaras can that can enhance your look.
· Start with something lavish, like an embellished silver tiara that starts low on the sides, but rises to a peak. It dazzles with gems and rhinestone and a silvertone base.
· One that looks a little less like a crown, but still sparkles in the hair is a silver tiara that features rhinestone scroll detail, crystals and pearls. It may not be a crown, but it gets the message across that you are in command of your day.
· A style that is less regal, but carries the weight of a crown is a silver floral tiara that features an open buttercup vine design. It is created with faux pearls and Swarovski crystal rhinestones.
· For the look of a princess, consider the elegant rhodium tiara embellished with round cut rhinestones.
· Looking to make a subtler statement? Check out the mid-height tiara, adorned with pearls and crystals.
· If you want to replicate Princess Kathryn's look, combine whatever tiara you select with a veil. Let the tiara anchor your veil as it drapes over your face and when it's pulled back as you come face to face with your groom.
Hair Do
If you have your heart set on wearing a tiara, you need to choose a hairstyle that best supports the tiara you have selected. It should also reflect the gown you are wearing.
