Choosing Wedding Headpieces Tiaras and Headbands by Face Shape and Hair Color

by Blush Cheek BlushCheek
Believe it or not, women can actually use their headpieces to enhance their beauty. Some types of tiaras and headbands look absolutely beautiful with one face shape and a little clunky on another. In addition, the color and style of headpiece can also be greatly accented by your hair color. For instance, sterling silver and white gold tiaras look fantastic in platinum blond hair. Gold and ivory shades of metal and jewels look better with reddish or brown hair.

Alternatively, short hair looks better with lighter, delicate tiaras and headbands. This is also more practical, as the headpiece doesn’t require as much hair to hold it in place. Women with round faces will want to add length using a tiara with some height or a peak at the top. If you have a longer face, look for a very thin, delicate looking tiara or headband. Women with a more oval face can take advantage of the V-band, headband, or bun ring to accent their shape without it looking longer.

Tips for Wedding Tiara Shopping
When looking for a wedding tiara or headband, you’ll want to have purchased the wedding dress first. The headpiece is meant to accessorize the dress, so you’ll need that essential item of clothing to compare with the dress. Don’t hesitate to try on the dress with the headpiece as well. Sometimes, it helps to get a good look at everything before you walk down the aisle. Women will also want to consider the other accessories that they will wear with the dress and headpiece.

It is traditional to wear the headpiece with a veil too. You have several options to choose from for the wedding veil, so be sure to try that out with the headpiece before purchase. It’s also a good idea to buy headpieces that feature the same decoration displayed on your dress. You could purchase a tiara that heavily features pearls if there is beaded pearl work on the bodice of your dress. Additionally, you could use a headpiece that has red roses to match the roses on a veil or skirt.

Caring for a Tiara or Headband
The wedding headpiece is an expensive piece of jewelry that requires proper care. Use a soft cloth intended only for cleaning metals. Use this cloth to wipe down the headpiece after wearing it and periodically to remove dust. If the piece gathers a significant amount of dirt, use mild soap and warm water to wash it clean. Try to avoid using harsh detergents, as these may damage the metals and pearls used in some pieces. You may also want to avoid using hairspray after putting on the piece. The product can build up on the metals creating an unsightly and difficult to remove residue. When you put your tiara or headband in storage, wrap it in a soft cloth to avoid scratching it. You may want to purchase a special flat jewelry box that is lined with velour to help keep this expensive piece of jewelry safe.

Conclusion
There are many kinds of tiaras and headbands for a woman to choose from for her wedding day. These accessories can be worn over the hair or on the forehead. They can be inexpensive or quite costly, depending on what the pieces are made of and the name of the manufacturer. For a classic look, consider a full tiara, while a thin V-band provides a more retro appeal. The understated headband serves both practical and decorative purposes.

If you want to use something in your hair without working a completely royal look, the bun ring is a nice alternative. Headbands and tiaras can alter the way your face looks, so pick out one that complements your look rather than detracts from it. Additionally, the color and stones used in the band should match your hair and dress. Use similar materials in the dress and band for a beautiful, cohesive look. Women can find tiaras and headbands at a great price on the auction site, blushcheek.
