Peculiarities
A tiara is a hair decoration made in the form of a crown or having a shape close to it. It effectively complements the wedding attire, and is chosen more often by those girls who dream of feeling like a royal person during the celebration. The tiara can be either very simple, and then it fits perfectly into a sophisticated and elegant look, or luxurious, decorated with precious stones and rhinestones. Note! Among the huge variety of tiaras, it is easy to choose the right one - with precious stones or their imitation, thin or wide, smooth or with curls, the same along the entire length or elongated in the center.
But before purchasing, you should consider whether the jewelry will match other elements of the image:
- A massive tiara with an abundance of large gems does not look good with a light wedding dress made of translucent chiffon;
- The tiara is ideal for a long outfit. If you choose a short dress for a wedding, then choose a thin, elegant decoration, more like a headband rather than a crown;
- For a fluffy dress, a spectacular and richly decorated tiara is suitable, for a tight-fitting one, a sophisticated and modest one;
- The patterns on the decoration in the hairstyle should be combined with the decor of the dress;
- Gold accessories are suitable for outfits with a warm palette (ivory, cream), silver ones - for white or a dress in cool shades (ash, sky blue);
- The tiara should not conflict with other jewelry - earrings, necklaces, rings, brooches, etc.;
- It is better not to style an impressively designed tiara with other decor, such as flowers or bright hair clips.
It is recommended to buy an accessory after you have chosen your wedding dress or at least have an idea of what your outfit should be like.
Interesting! The head of the great wife of Zeus, the goddess Hera, the patroness of marriage and female happiness, was crowned with a magnificent diadem. It is believed that the fashion of decorating one’s hair with a tiara dates back to the ancient tradition.
Diadem - what is it?
This is a symbol of the royal crown or queen's crown. Now any girl can afford this jewelry. Tiaras adorn the winners of beauty contests and ladies from high society at special events.
A tiara is essentially a crown that is worn on the head in the form of a wreath. There are models with fastenings that are comfortable to wear; they also help to fix complex hairstyles. The stores offer a large selection of such jewelry.
There are models made from the same material and decorated with stones, rhinestones, and precious metals. There are flat, voluminous, narrow, wide tiaras - the choice depends on the occasion, outfit, face shape and hair type.
It must be taken into account that this is a capricious accessory. It should be combined not only with the hairstyle, but also with the outfit. Looks great with a royal, fluffy dress or styles with a train. But the tiara is also relevant with a light, tight, translucent dress. It is better to buy it after choosing a festive outfit. This way, all the details of the image will be accurately combined in style and color.
Fastening without veil
Regardless of the mounting option, the tiara must be visible, which means that its design and size must be combined with the hairstyle and not get lost in the hair.
Typically, tiaras are made in the form of a comb or have special ties. The most popular option is the comb tiara. It is fixed in the hairstyle using special teeth, however, stylists sometimes get rid of the teeth if they interfere with choosing the right angle for the accessory.
If you doubt whether the tiara will stay on your head while participating in competitions or fiery dances, carefully secure it with additional bobby pins in a crisscross pattern , and then disguise the hairpins with strands.
Another popular option is the hoop tiara. It is fixed on the hair like a headband and does not have special fasteners. When choosing such jewelry, it is important that its size and the volume of the head match. If the hoop is too small, by the end of the evening you will hate the whole world due to a severe headache.
Above
This is the most common way to secure a tiara. The decoration is attached to the top of the hairstyle at an angle of 45 degrees. So it is located in plain sight and does not stand out too much.
Down on the forehead
The professional name for such an accessory is feronniere. This is a woman's jewelry in the form of a ribbon, hoop or chain that goes down to the forehead. Effectively combined with curled classic curls.
Typically, the feronniere is skillfully decorated, and both elegant pearls and one large stone surrounded by a scattering of small ones are used as decoration .
Behind
When the hair is collected in a bun or braid, the location of the tiara shifts to the base of the collected hair. Often, decoration is used to edge a bun. This is one of the wedding styling trends of recent years.
Important! Hairstyles with a tiara at the back of the head do not overload the bride's image, while simultaneously emphasizing elegance and a sense of style.
The headband on the contrary looks very stylish , which is fixed at the base of a basket of braids or intertwined curls woven at the back of the head.
In the middle
The tiara located in the middle becomes the central accent of the hairstyle. You can attach it either in a voluminous bouffant or a fluffy bun, on curls or a short perm, or directly to the veil.
Long
A very interesting version of tiaras. It can be attached in the usual way - from the top of the head or carefully lowered to the very bottom of the curls. This decoration looks chic and is more suitable for brides with long and thick hair.
If a high hairstyle is made, then a long tiara is braided around the hair in several rows. This styling option looks amazing! And it is ideal for short girls, visually adding the missing centimeters.
If you have a short haircut, but you really want to see a long tiara in your hair, use extensions.
Tiara
A tiara is a type of diadem in the form of a crown. It can be chic and voluminous or laconic and sophisticated. Suitable for any type of installation.
Idea! A tiara with a pendant on a chain will harmoniously fit into the oriental wedding style. In this case, the bride's forehead will be decorated with a beautiful stone.
Tiaras, resembling real crowns of royalty, look great on lush, voluminous hairstyles. Triangle tiaras are ideal for young girls with round faces. Decoration helps to emphasize a gentle, touching image.
Kokoshnik
A tiara stylized as a kokoshnik looks great with any hair length. It is often made of metal and decorated with galvanization. An original addition to the look will be a low kokoshnik, covered with the finest white leather, decorated with pearls and beads.
The accessory can be used not only at a wedding in a rustic style, but also when creating a non-trivial image for any other thematic celebration. Some models are transformable and can easily be mixed with a hairstyle around the neck , acting as an unusual decoration in the form of a high collar.
Fashion trends 2022
A wedding celebration is one of the most important days in the life of a newlywed. It is customary to approach it with all seriousness and responsibility. Hairdressers and fashion designers pay attention to both the image of the groom and the style of the bride.
Every year a large number of fashionable dresses, hairstyles, haircuts and makeup are created. 2022 was no exception, revealing to the world fashion trends in the world of wedding styling.
- You should choose a hairstyle not only based on photographs from glossy magazines, but also taking into account the individual taste of the bride herself. Add some zest to the look seen in the picture, and you can become not only the most fashionable, but also stylish.
- A veil is a must-have addition to a complex dress. At the same time, the hairstyle is chosen to be calm and not attract attention.
- Short haircuts will be the most popular in the coming year. Retro style looks the most daring, playful and sexy on them.
- Curls in the style of Marilyn Monroe, decorated with a tiara, will amaze all guests.
- Asymmetry of the image is still a fashion trend. It is enough to comb your hair to the side or curl it on just one side to achieve the irregular shapes that are so popular in 2018.
- Shoulder-length hair is a haircut that many celebrities have done. The famous Olga Buzova, Ani Lorak and Nyusha choose this option. To add romance and tenderness, you can curl your curls.
- As an innovation, we note the additional volume that all types of styling are endowed with. There is especially a lot of it in high hairstyles and buns of various types.
- A mantilla covering the head, framed with lace.
- Cap.
- Veil with a flower.
Remember that the design of a wedding dress in most cases indicates styling options. A country style dress will be combined with braids and curls. If there is a cutout on the back or front, updo hairstyles are preferable.
Types of hairstyles with photos
The tiara is perfect for various wedding styles:
- classical;
- bohemian;
- romantic;
- Greek;
- retro;
- rustic (if you choose a tiara stylized as a kokoshnik).
Remember an important rule. Bright hair color (chestnut, burning brunette, fiery red) will happily accept a bright decoration with iridescent rhinestones or stones. Blondes are better off choosing an accessory with bluish or pinkish crystals, supporting it, for example, with flowers, ribbons in a bouquet or dress trim.
To choose the right hairstyle with a tiara, focus on the length of your hair. For those with long or medium hair, any style will suit you.
With short ones you will have to use your imagination and use false curls or hairpieces. It is important to remember about the shape of the face:
- Any tiara model suits the ideal oval face
- Chubby brides should opt for a high hairstyle with an elongated tiara - this combination will visually elongate the face;
- In a triangular face, the cheekbones and forehead should be covered, so both bangs and curls going down along the edges look good. It is better to purchase a tiara in the form of a headband;
- Bangs won’t hurt beauties with a square face , but they should be laid smoothly to one side, slightly raised and a playful strand released. It is recommended to fasten the tiara at the border of the bangs and the main hairstyle;
- If your face is shaped like a triangle, circle or oval , it is better to make openwork braids or braid your head with one thick braid. It is not forbidden to limit yourself to ordinary curled curls. In such a hairstyle, a tiara-rim looks harmonious;
- For brides with a square, rectangular or elongated face shape, loose hair, “Malvina” or asymmetrical styling are suitable, and the tiara should not have sharp corners;
- High hairstyles with a ribbon tiara are perfect for those with a long and graceful neck .
It is important to wear the tiara correctly. If you choose a comb, carefully place it on top of your hair and move it slightly to secure it. The headband is easier to put on - you mark where it should be located in the hair, slightly unclench it and place it on your head, lightly fixing the curls with the headband.
With a veil
Many brides dream of the classic combination of tiara and veil, but before implementing your plan, remember the main advice of stylists. Don't wear your hair too high. Together with the tiara and veil, the design will turn out to be too pretentious.
It is best to combine the tiara with a not fluffy one or two-tier veil. You can fasten the veil separately, for example, at the base of the bun, and decorate the high front bouffant with a tiara. With another option, the tiara and veil act as a single accessory.
With a bang
In combination with bangs, any hairstyle looks great : both classic loose hair and voluminous braids, high styling and haircuts.
Important! A tiara is just a decoration, so you shouldn’t hope that it will help secure your hairstyle. This also applies to bangs. It is recommended to lay it in advance, securing it with varnish or invisible ones.
But when paired with a tiara, they look great only if the proportions and general recommendations are followed:
- For classic short bangs, a parting is made to separate it from the rest of the hair. They can be styled in any hairstyle, but the top of the head must be made voluminous so that the tiara can be placed at the base of the volume;
- Asymmetrical or long bangs are styled in the same manner as the side curls. The hairstyle can be asymmetrical or not.
High
Backcombing or curled curls gathered at the top is the most suitable option for a sophisticated outfit in a classic style. The styling looks restrained, but the tiara makes the wedding look exclusive. If you choose a modest tiara, it requires the obligatory addition of bright makeup and large earrings.
Hair tied up with a tiara is the best choice for a woman remarrying. This option is equally suitable for young ladies who want to enjoy confidence and bask in compliments and attention.
Smooth
Smooth flowing hair is a favorite style for young brides. This hairstyle does not require the help of a professional hairdresser, but it requires ideal hair condition:
- If your hair is brittle, dull or has split ends, a few months before the wedding you should put it in order and undergo a course of procedures to restore the hair structure;
- Don’t forget about color - no roots that have grown back after coloring;
- To make your hair look well-groomed, look great in a voluminous backcomb and easily take the desired shape, you should trim the ends in advance.
On smooth hair, the tiara can be placed anywhere , and the choice of model depends on the style of the dress and the shape of the face.
Bun
A high bun paired with a tiara looks chic. Pairs perfectly with a luxurious off-the-shoulder dress.
There are several options for a bun with a tiara:
- hairstyle using a chignon or roller to add volume and thickness;
- laconic babette;
- a braid pulled into a bun and laid over the head.
Massive earrings and catchy makeup will help complement your wedding look.
Greek
Classic Greek style - elegant styling with a tiara. Paired with a long white dress and luxurious gold jewelry, the Greek hairstyle looks great.
The advantage of this style is that you can do it yourself without the help of a professional hairdresser.
To do this you need:
- take a special elastic band;
- put it on top of your loose curls, pulling your hair back in advance;
- carefully tuck the curls under the headband.
Greek style styling is easy to do on hair below shoulder length. Brides with short hair can use extensions.
Remember that a Greek hairstyle with a tiara should look natural and airy , so do not overdo it with hairpins, bobby pins and fixing agents, and also carefully select the model of the tiara, abandoning luxurious royal options.
For different lengths
Depending on the length of your hair, you can create different wedding looks using a tiara.
Long hair does not limit your imagination in any way - you can create absolutely any style with it and select the appropriate tiara design to match it. For short hair and medium length, there are slightly fewer wedding styles, but you can choose the perfect one from them.
Advice! When creating a wedding hairstyle with a tiara, it is recommended to try different types of styling and experiment with hairstyles. It is often through experimentation that it is possible to find an option that will make the image impeccable.
Try opening up your neckline or décolleté if your wedding dress has a deep neckline. Or divide your hair into a side parting and braid a loose waterfall braid on one side, decorating the opposite side with a comb tiara. Don't be afraid to fantasize!
For long
Most often, long-haired girls opt for a massive tiara , because a small or narrow tiara is easily lost in luxurious hair.
The most current wedding hairstyles with a tiara for long hair:
- Laconic coarsely curled curls that are not collected, but left loose. The veil is also secured on top with invisible pins. This hairstyle is more suitable for young brides or romantic people;
- A wide braid braided around the head or laid to one side, combined with a simple tiara design. A voluminous braid does not require additional decorations - flowers, ribbons and other decorative elements, otherwise the styling will look vulgar;
- “Malvina” - the upper strands are gathered at the back, where the tiara is attached. The lower part is left loose, straightened with an iron or curled with tongs or curlers;
- A voluminous bun on the crown, at the bottom of the head, or a “shell”. They look royal when paired with a luxurious tiara;
- Light backcombing from the roots, covered with curls drawn away from the frontal or temporal area. The tiara is secured at the base of the comb.
If you want something unusual, create the effect of slight negligence. Backcomb the top of your head, and then style your curls as if they had just been tousled by a light breeze. This wedding hairstyle is suitable for self-confident and temperamental brides. In this case, the hair can be straight or curled with curlers.
For medium hair
Styling options for medium-length hair are selected depending on its type and thickness. Medium length hair is usually made into a bun. It is located below, on the crown or in the back of the head. A few curly or straight curls are left in the front to add a flirty touch to the look.
For medium hair decorated with a tiara, you should not choose overly elaborate and complex hairstyles so as not to create a vulgar image.
Suitable for medium length hair:
- braids in different variations , for example, openwork braids - look elegant at medium length and retain their shape throughout the day. Braiding goes well with bangs and a narrow tiara;
- “shell” emphasizes the elegance and femininity of the wedding look;
- a bow made of straight curls looks flirty and original, but only a tiara-rim is in harmony with it;
- “Babette” and “cold waves” are an option for self-confident women;
- curls on the top of the head that beautifully frame the face.
You can curl your curls in different directions - horizontal, diagonal or vertical. They should never be combed. The curls are separated into strands by hand and then mixed with the rest of the hair. To keep your wedding hairstyle longer, use a small amount of hairspray.
For short
Short-haired brides should not be upset that it is difficult to choose a wedding hairstyle with a tiara.
There is plenty to choose from:
- Get a fashionable bob haircut from a professional hairdresser. Any tiara will go with it. On the eve of the wedding ceremony, it is recommended to curl your hair in curlers or make a voluminous backcomb;
- If the length is not suitable for a haircut, the hair can be effectively styled and decorated with an openwork tiara;
- If desired, use hairpieces or extensions.
Advice! For a sleek short hairstyle with an elegant tiara, you will need additional jewelry - dainty earrings or a modest but elegant necklace.
Almost all short haircuts are decorated not only with a tiara. A light, airy veil will perfectly complement your wedding look.

- Separate the hair on the crown and back of the head using a round parting.
- From the hair on the top of the head, strictly in the center, form a tail (its thickness should be enough to weave a braid around the head).
- Weaving starts from the bottom of the head, closer to the ear. The tail is divided into 2 parts (upper and lower). The strand of hair from below is divided into 2 parts, and the 3rd is taken from the bottom of the ponytail, forming a classic French braid.
- Having reached the top of the head, strands from the top of the tail are used for weaving according to the same principle.
- Having reached the starting point of the braiding, the braid is connected: the end is tied with an elastic band and hidden inside the hairstyle, wrapping the remaining braid around the elastic band on the top of the head and securing it with a bobby pin.
- The junction between the beginning of the weaving and its end is fixed with pins.
The hairstyle is suitable for young petite girls and brides of medium height with an oval face shape.
The strands woven from the temple must be straightened with your hands. They should be approximately the same size.
