Help with tiara's - especially from HIBS

AutumnRose, 1 June, 2009 at 19:06 Posted on Planning 0 11

Having now decided the dress i fell in love with is the one i'm going to get married in i've been thinking about accessories....

The dress looks so much better without a veil, because it just distracts from the dress itself so i just want a tiara to add something extra to my hair. Thing is i want something vintage style, more pearls than spangle but with enough sparkles to catch the light...don't want much do i?! Anyway i'm having real trouble finding the right syle, i've seen one in magazine which was lovely but was £350!!!

So if anyone knows where i can get, or have made, a vintage style pearl tiara with a touch of sparkle to go with my dress it'd be very helpful. I know there are a few HIBs who make jewellery so any recommendations much appreciated.

Here is my dress to give you an idea of what i need it to match (just incase you haven't seen it already!!)

    Hi Autumnrose

    I'm not sure I could help - here are a few of mine that i've got on the website at the minute. One is genuine vintage and the other is vintage style.

    This is the genuine vintage. It's made with Swarovski crystal cream pearls and a genuine 1950s diamante brooch. Unfortunately this is the only genuine vintage tiara/headband I have at the minute as the rest have sold but i'm hoping to source a few more pieces in the next few weeks.


    I also hav this one which is vintage style but note genuine vintage but it's more of a headband than tiara.


    If you are looking for a large selection of vintage tiaras try Flo and Percy or East Beach Designs. They have some beautiful vintage pieces.

    Beautiful dress! I'm not sure if any of my work would fit with what you had in mind but if you like any of the styles then everything can be made with pearls or a pearl and crystal mix.

    My site is www.kinkajoules.com

    If you want vintage then you really should look at www.floandpercy.com. They are vintage specialists and Kirstie and her ladies' work is lovely.

    On the other hand all of my work is commission based and I have designed quite a few vintage inspired pieces in the past and can certainly come up with some ideas specifically tailored to suit you. I have also designed a piece for a dress very similar to yours this year but it was completely different to the ideas you have. It might be worth though having a look at the idea just so you can make sure you have explored all the possibilities.

    Feel free to drop me a line at ****@*********.**.** if I can be of any help

    Hi

    While I do not specialise in tiaras, I do stock a few on my website and there is one that might go well that is pearl and crystal that may look nice. It probably isnt suitable but there is also a handmade website called www.misi.co.uk there are loads of reasonable handmade tiaras on here and if you cannot find anything speicfic most of them would welcome you to email them to see if they could help

    or you also have this one: https://www.katievaledesigns.com//AliceBands/Beaded.html

    I meant also to say that I am shortly going to be introducing a ready to wear range with some very exciting items, I am in the process of selecting the designs I am going to be selling but will definately be including some pearl with a little sparkle so depending on when your wedding is, please feel free to bookmark my site and pop back in about a month if it isn't too late for you.

    I have a tiara which would go beautifully with that dress the dancing flowers tiara is full of pearl and diamante however it is white, the filigree pearl is more creamy https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/index_files/bridal_tiaras_diamonte.htm and https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/index_files/bridal_wedding_tiaras.htm

    Thank you ladies for the recommendations.

    Autumn Rose, had you thought about a floral pearl and diamante assymetrical headband. Would follow the line of your dress?

    Something with a floral theme would be perfect for the dress so that sounds like it'd work really well.

    There are some gorgeous tiaras on all the sites but nothing just right...i can see i might end up having one made as i like lots parts of different ones!
