Nothing exemplifies the phrase "Queen for a Day" quite like your wedding day. You are in the nicest dress, carrying the most flowers, with all the attention on you. So, how about a crown fit for royalty?
Adding a little glitz to your attire is a really fun way to turn up the volume on your look, and a tiara is an easy way to do this. When you are trying on gowns, have fun trying on the pieces your salon offers to see what look will suit THE dress. There are so many different options, from yellow or white metal, rhinestones, pearls, combs, flowers, headbands and crowns. Experiment with different looks with each dress that you try. If you find the one that you love, by all means, buy it! A popular national chain sells many different headpiece options from twenty to upwards of two hundred dollars. When I was trying on options at a salon in North Carolina, the one I loved was broken and still over one hundred dollars.
If you want to save a little dough, once again try ebay. This is where I found the headband I wore. A quick search for "tiara" today yielded over $13,000 hits, with prices from 99 cents to $29,000. Mine ran about twenty five dollars and I was thrilled with it. Also try running searches for "bridal", "hair comb" and "hair pin". Or, how about fulfilling the "something borrowed" quota? If you have a girlfriend who has gotten married and you admired her headpiece, why not ask to borrow it? I feel sure she would be flattered and thrilled.
Finally, if you are at all crafty, a trip to the local craft store can yield something gorgeous and personal. One gal I know made something she loved so much, she blogged about it. Check out her creation along with other wedding crafts on her blog. I wish I had half her talent!
