Need help choosing a tiara!

[LaurenThePartier]

So, I have about 19 days left, and on a lark I bought a lot of tiaras from Ebay. So now I have 6, yes SIX - tiaras to choose from, and I like them all for different reasons.

Here they all are . . . I feel like I have my own bridal salon! I don't know yet if I plan on wearing my viel that I bought, but I probably won't at this point, unless I get it cut way down.

So tell me what you all think!

I like tiara 1 best! It looks really elegant and the pearl accents go with your jewelry. I don''t quite know what I like about it, but I just love the shape/design a lot more than the others! If you don''t choose that one though, I strongly suggest going with one of the ones with pearl accents though, I really think that makes it all go together better! In any case, good tiara-shopping skills! You''re SO CLOSE!!!! I can''t imagine how excited you must be!!!!

Thanks, Albi! I''m liking that one the most, I think because my dress has pearls hand sewn in the lace, and it really just seems so delicate - like the earrings.

KBerly, I looooved the comb, but it''s not very flexible, and I have a teeny head. Also, I have really fine hair, and combined with my small head, it''s not as flattering if I wear it at the top of my head like I''d planned, as it is on top of a low chignon or the side of a french twist.

If you like #6, I''d be happy to post more pics of it. Obviously, whichever tiaras I don''t choose, I''m going to end up putting back on Ebay for a steal!

Can you post your dress and shoes here so we can see how they will go with the over all look?
Also how are you doing your hair and makeup? The more info the better!

 

[KBerly]

I will have to keep my eyes open for it

It''s so funny, but you did what I have been thinking about doing...buying several from Ebay to see which one I like best, then just sell them back on Ebay...funny!
It''s good to know about the comb, I love combs, but now that you said it''s not very flexible and you have a smaller head and fine hair, well that is me too! I am just getting the feeling that a full fledge tiara should be the way to go, bendable, and probably easier to style the hair do around.

How are you wearing your hair??

 

[anchor31]

#1 is my favorite!! I don''t like high ones, and I think it matches your jewelry perfectly!

Mat, I wish I knew how to wear my hair, or that I even knew where to look for styles. You don't happen to have a link to the Knot Hair Bio do you?

In any case, this is my dress . . .

The shoes are very simple 2" strappy satin that match the satin of the dress almost perfectly, with no adornment.

Lauren,

I have to vote for #1!! All of them are lovely but to my eye, it looks that''s the one that would go perfectly with your jewelry and dress. The design is so elegant... any thoughts on wearing your hair up or down for that day?

HTH

 

[MissAva]

Lauren Oh your dress is soo pretty! So sweet and girly. *sigh* I would wear my hair in half updo. The bottom in loss curly waves. The top pulled back with loose waves as well and the comb tiara in it. Maybe with your hair parted just slightly to the side. That would be my pick. That way you jewelry gets to make a full impact in the front and the comb adds a little something to the back view.

I would link the Knot thing to you if I had any clue of what you were talking about...I never go on the Knot I have read too many horror stories here.

Such a beautiful dress!!! I have no idea about tiara''s, but my first choice would be tiara #1. Although you have really nice hair, I''d wear your hair up.

 

[Kaleigh]

#1, it''s gorgeous, looks great with your wedding jewelry and your dress. Then I like #6. That dress is beautiful!!!

 

[monarch64]

My pick since seeing this post this morning has been #2...just wanted to hear others'' opinions before I chimed in, lol! I think it goes so well with your jewelry and dress (and your jewelry is quite enough on its own) that you could wear your hair in an updo, even have a fall added if you''re worried about not having ENOUGH hair, with the comb. It''s just beautiful, and understated enough so as not to compete with your other pieces. Love your dress, btw. You''re going to be stunning!!!

Hi Lauren, I love your dress!!! The lace is perfect

And I like tiara#2 -the comb- the best. I think it matches the feeling of your dress better.
