How to style a bridal tiara?

Old tradition: Tiaras are only for brides and married women. This is because tiaras come from classical antiquity. They were seen as the emblem of love. Placement: If you wear one, place it correctly. Put your thumb on your chin and your index finger on your eyebrows. Move your thumb up to where your finger was. Your index finger should be touching the base of the tiara in your hair. Don’t put it on more than an inch and a half from your hairline. Put it on last. Put on your tiara after you’ve finished hair lacquer. A dull, sticky tiara is no good. Not you. Shapes: A pointy tiara will make a long face look longer. If you have a round face, a rounded tiara will make it look more round. Get a tiara that contrasts with your face shape for an A-star. Hairstyle: A tiara worn with messy hair looks like you don’t care. Very bohemian. People will notice. If you must wear your hair down, pull the sides back over the ends of the tiara. Don’t wash your hair. Don’t wash your hair before wearing a tiara. Day-old hair will grip better. With tiaras, as with many things, grip is key. Securing: If you’re planning on dancing, you’ll need extra help. Use thread or bobby pins to sew your tiara into your chignon. Don’t attach it to your veil. The weight of the veil will pull your crown back, and you’ll take it off sooner than you want.
