How to Wear a Wedding Veil & Tiara
Wearing both a veil and a tiara makes the traditional bridal headpiece, a veil, look more modern and the bride appear regal. This is the bride's day, the spotlight is on her, and the tiara reinforces that with added sparkle. However, it is important to fit the style of tiara with not only the veil, but the wedding dress and the bride's stature and facial shape. Wear the entire wedding ensemble when selecting a tiara and veil to ensure the most complementary headpieces are chosen. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Simple hairstyles work best for wearing a veil and a tiara together.
Make sure the tiara and veil go together in size and style. Either buy the veil first and match the tiara to it or buy both pieces from the same store.
If possible, attach the veil and tiara to make it one single piece. This can be accomplished by sewing them together yourself, or asking the bridal store to sew them together for you.
