There's very few opportunities in life when you can wear a crown.

A wedding crown is more than just a beautiful accessory; it’s a symbol of the regal elegance and timeless beauty that every bride embodies on her special day. Whether you’ve been dreaming of a fairytale wedding or simply want to add a touch of luxury to your bridal look, the right wedding crown can make all the difference.

With so many styles and options available, choosing the perfect wedding crown can feel overwhelming. In this post, we’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting your crown, ensuring you find the perfect piece to complement your style and make you feel like royalty.

1. Understanding different styles of wedding crowns

Wedding crowns come in a variety of styles, each offering a unique aesthetic.

  • Classic tiara: A traditional choice, a tiara is often a small and dainty piece featuring crystals, pearls or gemstones. They evoke a timeless elegance and capture a princess-like aesthetic.
  • Floral crowns: Floral crowns can be constructed from fresh or faux flowers, creating a romantic and bohemian vibe. They are ideal for garden or outdoor weddings with their free-spirited detailing.
  • Wedding crowns: Wedding crowns and tiaras are terms that are often used interchangeably. Generally speaking, crowns are larger in size.

Your wedding dress plays a crucial role in determining the best crown style for you.

  • Embellished dresses: If your dress features a lot of detail or embellishments, opt for a simpler crown to avoid details clashing. A minimalist tiara with simple details works beautifully with embellished dresses as it will complement your dress without overpowering it.
  • Simple dresses: For a more understated gown, an ornate crown will add a pop of interest and drama to elevate your look.
  • Dress neckline: The neckline is an important detail which will influence your choice in crown. High necklines work well with simpler crowns. Strapless or off-the-shoulder dresses can accommodate more elaborate designs. Plunging necklines work well with crowns with peaks.

When it comes to styling your bridal look, referring back to your mood board is important to ensure your choices stay true to your original vision. The theme and setting of your wedding will be an important consideration to ensure you achieve the vibe you’re after.

  • Fairytale or royal theme: Classic tiaras with delicate and dainty detailing, featuring crystals or pearls, are a beautiful way to capture regality and a traditional spirit.
  • Bohemian and garden weddings: Floral crowns or vintage-inspired pieces will complement the relaxed and romantic vibe of these settings.
  • Modern weddings: Sleek and minimalist crowns will add a contemporary edge to your bridal look. Look for an unexpected take on the classics with baroque, keishi or smooth pearls or angular details.

Your wedding crown should perfectly frame your hair and face so your chosen hairstyle will be an important consideration.

  • Bridal updos: Wedding crowns pair beautifully with updos, providing a stable base for the headpiece to rest.
  • Loose hair or waves: Floral crowns and lightweight tiaras complement loose flowing hairstyles, adding a touch of softness and romance to your look.
  • Braids: Braided bridal hairstyles and crowns will create a textured and intricate look. Perfect for whimsical weddings.

We always notice that the moment a wedding crown is placed on a bride, she will walk with her head high with a confidence that only she knows.  It’s important to ensure your crown fits well and is secured in place. We recommend bobby pins or hair combs to secure the crown into your hair. Your hairstylist will be able to help you with the fitting to ensure it stays in place throughout the day.
