Flower girls are a delight – after the bride, everyone watches out for these cute little angels – decked out in their finest and most probably at the biggest formal event of their lives.  Brides choose their favorite little girls – sisters, cousins, children of friends etc – to help them on their special day. They get to wear a pretty dress – why not thank them and make them feel like a princess by giving them a tiara with their outfit – they’ll love you for it!

Choose a tiara that’s the right size, so it doesn’t fall of her head when she walks down the aisle. One that would be appropriate for her age would be best – use pastel colors or plain white, in crystals or rhinestones (pearls may be too old, but if tastefully done, can be just right.) An alternative would be a headdress with fresh flowers, the same as the wedding flower theme. Have her help you pick out a tiara – it will make her feel like part of your wedding party, or just surprise her on the day – she’ll love wearing that princes crown during the wedding!

The Tiara

It is important to know what kind of tiaras and headbands are available before you can decide which one is the right one for you. You need to do your research. There are thousands of styles to choose from such as crystal, silver, pearl, rhinestone, etc.  Most of them come in one colour, but you can consider adding colours to your tiara. Be careful of wearing yellow or gold if you have pale skin. Be careful of wearing one that is bigger than your hair. Knowing what doesn’t look right is as important as knowing what doesn’t look right. The shape of the tiara is important too. The tiara is a lot more elegant and sophisticated than the headband. You have the option of wearing both which would look really grand. The tiara makes you look like a fairy princess while the headband makes you look elegant and sophisticated.

The Headband

The headband comes in thousands of styles and different kinds. Do your homework carefully. Choose your dress first to see what compliments it best. The headband can be very simple or very elegant. There are as many styles as the tiara. You can choose to wear both of them.

Reasons for your choice

You need to take in many considerations in choosing what is right for you. These considerations are how it looks with your dress, how it looks with your skin colour and your hair. You need to be aware of what colours are right for you too. You might want to consider getting your colours done so that you know for sure.  Do you look good in crystals, rhinestones or pearls? Get help from your family, friends, a wedding planner and the people who work at the bridal salon. Consider it being made personally for you by a professional. Ask around, word of mouth is an important factor. The internet or library is a great source for research. Research it intensely to find the right one for you.
