Bridal hairbands are still super trendy for brides in 2009 – the ‘Modern Tiara’ for the modern bride! Tiara bands made with crystals, pearls, beads or the latest satin bands adorned with sparkling diamantes will cater for a variety of bridal looks!

The Sixties bee hive hairstyle lends itself particularly well to a bridal hairband – add well-defined eyes and pale lips for a bold bridal look.  As many brides are opting for hair extensions on their wedding day, you can use a crystal tiara band to create a stunning, princess-style updo or a romantic, loose hairstyle with tumbling soft curls and the hairband used to sweep the hair away from your face.  Bridal hairbands are also perfect for shorter hair – perched at an angle like a traditional tiara with some backcombing to add height!

The wider bridal tiara bands are an ideal alternative to a full princess-style tiara but if you want a softer bridal look and just need to add some sparkle to your hair, you can opt for a thinner bridal alice band for understated elegance! Whatever your choice, remember to experiment before the big day to achieve the perfect look!
