The different types of tiaras that exist

The “family jewels” tiara

This type of tiara is commonly found in royalty and celebrities. If you're lucky and have one in your jewelry box, don't hesitate to wear it. Crafted in gold, silver, bronze, or platinum, and adorned with precious jewels such as sapphires, emeralds, or diamonds, this accessory will instantly elevate your look. In addition to having sentimental value when it comes to a tiara received during an inheritance, you will be able to follow the tradition stipulating that the bride must wear on her wedding day “an old thing, a blue thing and a borrowed thing”!

The porcelain tiara

This type of tiara, characterized by its immaculate and sober white color, is ideal for lovers of the minimalist trend. For a winter wedding, it will do just fine! You can wear this tiara which will bring a touch of elegance with a more daring and modern wedding dress, to create a perfect balance.

The natural tiara

This one is a favorite of bohemian brides because it evokes nature in its composition. Made with care from natural materials such as wild flowers, raffia, or rattan, it brings a relaxed and natural look to the bride. This type of accessory is ideal for brides celebrating their ceremony outdoors.

The fancy jewelry-type tiara

Nobody said that to shine, you had to spend a lot of money! Without neglecting the quality, this tiara generally includes crystals that imitate diamonds or zircons. Nowadays, brides have a wide choice of tiaras made of costume jewelry in different styles. Some can even be custom-made and personalized.

The vintage-style tiara

In metal or gold or silver plated, this tiara differs from other head jewelry by its floral motifs. It brings a very original touch to the look of the bride, and is perfect for those of you who have a particular taste for antiques.

Choose your tiara according to the shape of your face

• Oval face: this is the ideal face shape when it comes to wearing tiaras. Almost all styles of tiaras look good on you, but especially oval tiaras because they promote symmetry in your face.

• Rectangular face: here, the important thing is to give volume to the upper part of the face and to reduce it at the level of the jaw. The tiara is not really recommended for this type of face. A simple high voluminous bridal hairstyle will do.

• Round Face: A tall, wide-angled tiara will help the face look longer and slimmer.

• Heart-shaped face: For this shape, it is rather advisable to wear another type of headdress such as combs. The goal is to visually give more volume to the jawline and less to the top of the head to achieve balance.

• Elongated and Rectangular Face: A thin and low-rise tiara will be the best option to achieve the effect of widening and reducing the length of the face.

• Square face: opt for a high tiara to reduce the angle of the face.

At the same time, don't forget to take into account the bridal veil you have chosen for the big day. Indeed, the tiara you choose will determine the way you position your veil on your head. Another option: during the ceremony wear a veil without a headdress, then opt for a bold crown which completely breaks with the conventionalism of the image of the classic bride.

The different ways to wear a tiara

The best way to wear your tiara will depend on its type, your hairstyle, and above all your personal taste! In this way, you can wear your tiara on the forehead, in the middle of the head, or at the birth of the hairstyle. Our recommendation is that you leave fads and trends aside. Don't stop trying and choose only the one that suits you best, with which you feel most comfortable.
