Wearing Your Tiara and Veil

When trying on tiaras remember that your hair will (usually) be different on your wedding day to your usual style. Remember to hold your hair up behind the tiara to give a background to the tiara and get an idea how it will look.

A tiara just put on top of your head when your hair isn't done can look odd but a tall tiara will look fabulous with hair piled behind it.

It is often easier to wear a tiara if your hair is put up but can easily be worn with your hair down because your hairdresser can easily secure the tiara in your hair with hair grips, twists of hair etc.

Some tiaras have little loops at each end of the band so are easily secured in your hair but the plain bands can still be firmly attached and if you go to a hairdresser who is experienced in doing 'bridal hair' they can fix your tiara so it will stay in place all day long.

Some tiaras have combs at each end of the band and while this sounds good in theory we have found that they are in practice often very uncomfortable, depending on the shape and size of your head and the positioning of the combs.

We dropped tiaras with combs from our range as most customers did not find them at all comfortable to wear. The tiaras with combs on the ends tend to be the cheaper mass produced ones made in China that you will see on so many sites.

Wearing Your Veil
Veils can be single layer, double or triple layer depending on how much fullness you want.

The most popular lengths for veils are 54 (approximately to waist) and 72 (approximately to hip level) although full length and chapel and cathedral length are becoming popular. Two layers are generally more popular with the short top layer that can worn over the face. Veils are generally attached to a comb. The two main ways of wearing a veil are on the top of the head, just behind the tiara or at the back of the head. The veil worn at the back of the head will then drape behind you and not around your shoulders.

A one layer veil will be a less expensive option and can be bought in different lengths. British veil designers offer their veils in any length you wish for a small extra charge.
