After saying yes to the marriage proposal and setting a date for the wedding, there are 1,001 small and big details that need to be ironed out. Part of the decisions that need to be made is the hairstyle to be worn by the bride and her bridesmaids. For the bride, choosing a hairstyle is all a matter of deciding what works best based on her hair length, the cut of the dress, the bridal accessories that she will wear and the theme of the wedding.
In some cases, the weather and the location of the wedding reception should also be considered. If the wedding will be held on the beach, for instance, you’d want a bridal hairstyle that will not get easily swept off by the wind or will not go limp from the heat of the sun.
Tiaras for the Bride
One of the factors that need to be considered when choosing a bridal hairstyle is the accessories that she will wear. Do you plan to have a veil or are you wearing a hat? If you’ve always dreamed of looking like a princess on your wedding day, why not wear a tiara? Your wedding day is as good a time as any for you to live out your dream and wearing a tiara will literally make you look and feel like a princess on your big day.
Depending on your personality as a bride, you can wear a small princess tiara or one that makes you look like a queen. Choose ones which are decorated with semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals or pearls. You can make a selection based on the theme that your wedding has. For instance, if your gown and the theme of the wedding is medieval, a tiara with semi-precious stones is an excellent option.
Choosing Tiaras for Bridesmaids
Let’s say that the bride has already chosen a tiara that she can wear. If she wants to have that coordinated look with her wedding entourage, can the bridesmaids wear tiaras as well without overshadowing the bride? Remember that when it comes to planning a wedding, the focus usually falls to the bride and groom – especially the bride. This is precisely the reason why there’s an unwritten rule that only the bride should wear white on her wedding.
However, if the bride herself would like the bridesmaids and the entire entourage to have a coordinated look, there is a way to achieve that coherence. One idea is to choose bridesmaids tiaras which are a miniature version of what the bride is wearing. If the bride has a dainty tiara decorated with pearls, the bridesmaids can wear something smaller which is also decorated with pearls. Or, they can all wear matching hair accessories which are decorated with pearls or any other jewel which adorns the tiara of the bride.
Bridesmaids Hairstyles to Go With Tiaras
Finally, how do you decide which bridesmaids hairstyles to go for? When choosing bridesmaids hairstyles, the accessories worn should be a top consideration. In this case, since they will be wearing tiaras which are a miniature version of the bride’s, the bridesmaids can wear their hair in a romantic updo. If your bridesmaids have varying hair lengths, you can simply have them wear matching accessories and have their locks styled based on the length of their hair.
As you can see, there is a way for bridesmaids to wear tiaras without overshadowing the bride on her big day. By paying attention to the small details, you can have one of the loveliest bridal entourage which would look perfect in the wedding photos.
