Making Your Own Wedding Tiara
Bridal tiaras are common to find in most weddings. Historically, crowns and tiaras are used exclusively by people of noble birth or those who are seen as a heavenly figure. With the creation of newer designs and styles, there was a greater supply of crowns and tiaras available on the market. Using alternative materials instead of precious metals and stones has made them inexpensive to make and more affordable for the common person while still retaining the beauty of tiaras made with precious gems and metals.
Although there is a greater supply of tiaras available on the market, bridal tiaras are still seen as an expensive accessory. Brides-to-be who are interested in purchasing a tiara but cannot afford to purchase one or cannot find the right style, may want to spend the time to make their own customized tiara.
Finding the right tiara for that special event is important to complete that princess look. Some brides-to-be choose make their own tiaras or have it made by a close friend or relative. It gives the bride the satisfaction that they have the perfect wedding tiara without breaking the bank.
When planning for your own bridal tiara to be made, there are several factors that need to be thought through. Similar to buying a made tiara from the store, the bride must have an idea of the style, design and color of the wedding gown and how the tiara would fit into the look. As an accessory it should not deter the attention of the guests from seeing the bride's beauty. In addition, the planned hairstyle for the wedding needs to be considered as some bridal tiaras are limited to certain hairstyles.
With some of those considerations already in check, it is then time to think of the design of the tiara. Sketch out some ideas of how you would want it to look and the materials you might need. Doing this simple drawing exercise helps you think about what is possible while unleashing your creativity. It also gives the designer an idea on what materials to purchase to make the design a reality. A few common materials may include mini nose pliers, wire cutters, glue gun, silver plated wire, comb, a tiara headband as well as beads made from crystal clear glass. Besides beads, alternatives materials may include pearls or even Swarovski crystals, depending on the style and the budget. These materials can be easily found in any decent craft store.
With a 24 gauge silver plated wire, cut strips measuring five to seven inches each. Place the bead or pearl into the wire strip. Close the strip by folding the wire in half and twisting the ends together. Add more beads or pearls to the wire strip, changing the distance between the beads depending on the design. When the strip is finished, attach it to the headband by twisting the end. Do the steps over with the next strips until you have finished your design. In order for the tiara to stay on the bride's hair and not fall off, attach hair combs to the edges of the headband in a downwards direction. Add more pearls, crystals or beads when needed.
