Everything You Need to Know About Wedding Tiaras and Bridal Crowns

You're standing at the edge of one of the most unforgettable moments of your life—your wedding day. The dress, the flowers, the smiles of loved ones—it all comes together to create the perfect scene.

On this day, every little detail counts, and there’s no room for compromise when it comes to your bridal look. You deserve to feel like a queen, radiant and confident, with a presence that matches the magic of the day. 

Adding a tiara or crown will ensure you achieve that regal, timeless beauty you’ve always envisioned.

The History and Tradition of Bridal Tiaras and Crowns

Bridal tiaras and crowns are steeped in centuries of tradition. Originally worn by royalty to symbolize power, status, and beauty, crowns became a symbol of elegance and grace from ancient Greece to European royalty. 

Today, this tradition continues as brides wear these headpieces to embrace their own sense of regal beauty.

Unlike most accessories, a wedding tiara or crown isn’t something worn every day. It’s reserved for life’s most special occasions, and for many women, their wedding is the ultimate moment to showcase a majestic, charming aura. 

On this day, you deserve to stand out, carrying a look that reflects your individuality while making a statement unlike any other. Ellee Couture Boutique honors this tradition with designs that fuse timeless beauty with modern elegance.

Types of Tiaras and Bridal Crowns

Selecting the right bridal tiaras and crowns is more than a stylistic choice; it’s about finding a piece that complements your entire bridal look. Here are some key styles available at Ellee Couture Boutique and what makes each unique:

 

1. Regal Crowns

Regal Crowns

Ideal for the brides who want to feel like a real princess. These crowns are grander, more majestic and are adorned with Swarovski crystals and pearls, making them ideal for traditional or formal weddings. Regal crowns pair beautifully with classic hairstyles such as Hollywood waves and modern glam waves. 

2. Floral Tiaras

These feature delicate flower motifs, often crafted with crystals or pearls, and are a favorite among brides seeking a more whimsical, bohemian vibe. A floral tiara works wonderfully with outdoor, garden-themed weddings or simple, flowing gowns.

3. Pearl and Crystal Crowns and Headpieces 

Pearl Crowns and Headpieces

How to Choose Between a Tiara and a Crown

When deciding between a wedding tiara crown or a full crown, it’s important to consider these key aspects:

1. Your Dress

The style, fabric, and embellishments of your wedding dress play a huge role. If your dress is intricate and dramatic, a regal crown will balance the grandeur. 

A simple, elegant gown might call for a more understated tiara, allowing both the dress and the headpiece to shine without overpowering one another.

2. Hairstyle and Comfort

Your headpiece should complement your wedding hairstyle. Crowns pair beautifully with structured updos and hairstyles with volume such as the classic Hollywood waves! Tiaras are versatile enough for half-up styles and loose waves. 

The great thing about our pieces at Ellee Couture Boutique, whether it be a tiara or full crown, the key is working with a skilled hairstylist! Working with a hair stylist that knows how to style hair is what will complete the puzzle! They will be able to ensure comfort and security to ensure your shine on your wedding day with a swarovski crystal crown! 

3. Wedding Theme and Venue

A formal ballroom or castle venue complements a full bridal crown, emphasizing opulence and regality. Outdoor or intimate weddings, on the other hand, are well-suited to more delicate tiaras, especially those with floral or nature-inspired elements. 

Also, consider the formality of your event—crowns are great for black-tie affairs, while tiaras suit everything from garden parties to classic church weddings.

4. Facial Features

It’s important to choose a headpiece that complements your facial features. Full crowns work well for longer face shapes, as they balance proportions, while wishbone tiaras or headbands flatter round or oval face shapes by adding height and a slimming effect.

Tips to Consider Bridal Hairstyle With Crown and Tiaras

Your hairstyle is the canvas upon which your tiara or crown rests, and the right combination can elevate your bridal look. Here’s how to choose the perfect wedding hairstyles with tiaras or crowns:

1. Updos

Whether it’s a classic bun, chignon, or intricate braids, updos create a structured and elegant base for your headpiece. Full bridal crowns, like our Aurora Swarovski Bridal Crown or Royal Luxe Bridal Full Crown, are best for updos as they sit securely, adding height and drama. 

For more delicate styles, a tiara like our Carina Pearls Swarovksi Tiara can add elegance without overwhelming the look.

2. Hollywood Waves

This is one of the most popular hairstyles for wedding tiaras for brides because it offers the perfect balance between romantic and structured. 

Tiaras that sit at the crown of the head, like our Anastasia Swarovski Crown, complement the classic look of Hollywood waves, adding just the right amount of sparkle while allowing your hair to flow freely.

3. Modern Glam Waves and Loose Waves

For brides who opt for relaxed, bohemian waves, a floral tiara or rose gold crown as our Gemna Rose Gold Swarovski Tiara pairs beautifully. The soft flow of the waves complements the natural, ethereal vibe of floral elements or a delicately designed tiara.

4. Short Hair and Pixie Cuts

If you have short hair, you can still wear a wedding tiara or crown! Opt for a petite tiara or jeweled headband such as our Mona Swarovksi 3-D Wedding Tiara, which adds just a touch of sparkle without overpowering your look. Short hairstyles allow you to experiment with unique and bold headpieces that frame the face.

5. Consider the Veil

If you plan to wear a veil, make sure it complements your headpiece. Veils work best when attached under or behind a tiara like our Diana Swarovski Bridal Tiara, allowing the veil to flow without obscuring the detailing of your headpiece.

Maintenance and Preservation Tips for Bridal Crowns and Tiaras

Your bridal tiara or crown is a special keepsake that deserves care and attention. To keep it looking beautiful for many years to come, adhere to these easy tips:

  • Keep away from chemicals: avoid spraying your headpiece with any type of chemical (ie. hairspray) to ensure that it keeps its shine and beauty.
  • Cleaning: Using a clean, dry cloth, carefully wipe away dirt and grease. Avoid harsh chemicals and water, especially for crystal-embellished pieces.
  • Storage: To protect your headpiece from dust and damage, store it in its original Ellee Couture Boutique Signature White Box.
  • Handle with Care: When adjusting or cleaning, handle your headpiece gently to avoid loosening any delicate details.
