Tiaras: Now You Can Feel Like a Princess on Your Big Day

Centuries ago tiaras were worn only by the very rich or by royalty. They were meant to symbolize wealth, prosperity, and regality. Princesses, queens, and duchesses wore them at state dinners and other official functions.

Actually, they probably wore them all the time. Wear a tiara to breakfast. Wear one to the market. Wear it just lounging around the castle. If you are royalty, why not revel in it?

The flip side of the coin is that historically there were not a whole lot of opportunities for the average woman to wear a tiara. Even today, unless you are Wonder Woman or the winner of a beauty pageant, you probably aren't going to be wearing a tiara too often. Sure, there will be big occasions in your life. But can you imagine accepting a Pulitzer Prize while wearing a tiara? People would think you were insane.

There is one occasion, however, when it is perfectly normal for a woman to wear a tiara. That is, of course, on her wedding day. It is the one day of a woman's life when it isn't just acceptable for her to look and feel like a princess, it is expected. Here are a few examples of gorgeous tiaras that will make your big day all the more special.

The Crystal and Pearl Tiara is a gorgeous piece that will make a striking impact on your wedding guests. Flower shapes rise from the base of the tiara and are highlighted by glimmering crystals and finely polished pearls. It is truly a headpiece built for a queen.

If you are looking for a more dense and complex look, you can't go wrong with the Crystal Open Back Tiara. Rhinestones, pearls, and crystals seem to explode from the silver base of this tiara, giving them the appearance of bubbles rising from the bottom of the ocean.

The rhinestone floral motif featured on the Embellished Mid Crystal Rhinestone Floral Tiara is so intricate that it almost resembles a complex script font. Pearls and pave leaves intermingle throughout a glimmering array of rhinestones and crystals to form a pattern you could get lost inside of.

Queen Elizabeth II was said to possess the world's most extensive and expensive collection of tiaras. The Mid Tiara Embellished with Beads and Crystals is gorgeous enough to fit right in with the rest of her collection. The construction appears delicate and decisively formal. Beads and crystals cluster together in the front while shimmering strands seem to burst from the center like solar flares on the surface of the sun.

The main feature of the Embellished Tiara with Crystal Swirl Motif and Oval Stones is the wave-like swirls that rise up all around it. Wearing this tiara at a wedding on the beach will make a bride feel like a goddess of the sea. It also features three large oval crystal stones. One of them sits at the top center of the tiara while the other two are slightly lower and on the sides.

The Tall Silver Tiara with Metal Scroll, Rhinestones, and Pearls is a dramatic headpiece that is sure to stand out. It goes well with a more subdued hairstyle because of the strong impression that it makes. If you don't feel like spending hours on your hair on your wedding day, it is easy to let this tiara do all the heavy lifting for you.

Many brides think that tiaras only pair well with an updo and other short or pulled-back styles. This really just depends on the tiara you are wearing though. The Gold Brushed Metal Tiara with Rhinestones has an earthy floral motif that looks unbelievable when it rests on long, flowing locks of hair. Matched with a simple and fashionable dress, it makes a bride look more like an ethereal medieval princess.

The Brushed Metallic Leaf Tiara is another one that hearkens back to the golden age of tiaras. It has a simple and classic pattern of soft gold interspersed with rhinestones and freshwater pearls. It measures 14 1/4" by 5 1/2" by 1 1/4".

Before we mentioned that there are not many occasions for a woman to wear a tiara. This is true, but the Crystal Tiara becomes a Necklace defies that rule. On your wedding day this is a gorgeous low and subtle crystal tiara. It adds a dash of sparkle but it won't outshine your hairdo or your dress. However, rather than being a one-time thing, this tiara transforms into a lovely necklace so it can be worn again and again to special occasions long after your big day.

The fact remains, however, that tiara opportunities are few and far between. Outside of your super sweet 16 party and your Sailor Moon Halloween costume, the odds of finding a good excuse to wear a tiara are pretty slim. A woman's wedding day is one of the few opportunities in her life to really live it up and feel like a princess. A tiara is a simple and elegant way to help do that.
