Are tiara's tacky?

You fell in love with your tiara for a reason, unless you have a tiara about 4 or 5 inches tall then no tiaras are not tacky, with such an elegant undo tack will not be the word

To each her own!

I personally don't like the look of tiaras, but while I think they look tacky on me, they do seem to suit other people sometimes. Just like I find almost every wedding dress out there tacky in some way, I will admit that lots of brides look beautiful in them!

A lot of it depends on how you plan to style your hair to go with it, too, don't forget.

If you like your tiara, that's all that matters.

I think some are and some aren't TBH! Yours looks nice actually as it's not OTT. I think the big ones that stick right up and look like mini crowns are tacky though (I'm thinking BFGW type here)

Your tiara is not tacky at all, it looks really pretty. In fact my idea of a tiara is the type that sticks up and has different heights, I really don't like those ones and yes I think they look a bit tacky. I prefer hair bands, side tiaras (I'm having one of these but i think it's more of a hair and with a side detail on it), combs and slides, much more classy.

Twas me DB! Let me return the favour!!! 😃 I have to say that I think a hair piece of some sorts really finishes the look particularly once your veil is off. I personally am not a fan of the tiara but I wouldn't say I think it's tacky and certainly from your top picture that a very elegant choice. I love the whole slide/comb look and definately think there is something much more understated and classy about it. I have just bought this one from etsy

and am wearing my hair in a loose curly side bun thing.

But feel free to ignore!! Ha ha!!

Personally when I think of a tiara I imagine this sort of thing:

These type I don't really like personally. However, yours I love and I'm not sure I would class it as a tiara.

I think it fits in well with the modern elegance idea as well.

It's beautiful and you love it so wear it ?

I quite like that actually OB. Classy, simple, elegant............................

I think that's the trouble, I LOVE my tiara alone, but when I have all my hair swept up, I don't think it goes as well as I thought it would. And so I think I might love small hair combs a teensy bit more.

Mrs D that is the sort of thing I would like to go nearer ther back of my 'do. Probably one a little less uniform than that one (more messy?) - bad description.

Maybe I'll buy a small comb too, and try both with the hairdresser at my trial (which is 8 weeks before the wedding so loads of time to source something completely different if necessary).

OB - I just snorted at your picture.

I'm not a fan of the traditional tiaras that stick up and look like crowns...but yours is more like a side tiara that happens to go over the top of your head IYSWIM ?

OB - ?

Yours looks more like a sparkly headband to me... and I love it! (also not a fan of crown-like tiaras)

Yes I do see what you mean. It's more a design of a side tiara or hair comb, but in the position of a traditional tiara.

I think I bought it because I liked it (duh!) but before I had mentally put together my whole outfit. And now I have my heart set one something like this:

I like pearly things if anyone had guessed!

A nice tiara is not tacky - I would say that though as I have one. I love the side tiaras for something modern and different but getting married in Church I knew that I wanted a veil and the side tiaras all looked a bit off balance with a veil. At the end of the day it's all down to personal choice - wear what you feel comfortable in

That's the link to mine - hope it's not too tacky!

That's gorgeous!! If you changed your mind and got that, I'm sure you could sell on the tiara you already bought, especially if you don't think it will look good with the hair style you've chosen.

Are you having a hair trial? I would take the tiara you have to the trial and see how you feel with it all together.

I don't think your tiara is at all tacky but I also really like the side comb in the picture you flashed, saying that I think your tiara would still look really nice with that hair style. Not helped much at all really have I ?

This is lovely although there's something a mini bit Christmassy about it....I think it's the icy looking branch bits. ?

Am hoping not as I have a tiara! I love mine, here's a quick piccy, while i think mine is lovely, everyone has different views on what is and what's not tacky, I also have a hair trial tomorrow so shall post a pic of my tiara of how am hoping to have my hair.

I do think it looks quite big in this pic, and the picture doesn't do it justice at all! x

Ooo Sarah would like to see a pic of this on, its really nice!

Shall upload a piccy over the weekend. Here's a sneaky peak of my wedding jewellery too!

Ducky - don't worry its lovely though have to confess the one OB posted is much much much more lovlier - think I might get one to wear next time I go to the fish market ?

I hope not otherwise I have a lot of very tacky customers. I think it is each to there own as it is with wedding dresses and what suits one person won't suit another.

I've only just seen this thread - I don't think they're tacky at all with the right dress (and right size - i.e, not gypsy wedding stylee!)

Ducky I love ure tiara, I think it doesnt look like the usual tiara.....Im looking for exactly the same thing so please share where u got it from tee hee xxx

I think they are a bit, but I still quite like them! (not having one though). I guess its because they are a bit princessey??

If you want a tiara have a tiara- personally I dont like them (haven't seen any that I could imagine wearing) and so am having fresh flowers in my hair but that's just me. It's your and you OH day have what will make you happy

I've spent all day thinking about this and looking at pictures. I think I have some to the conclusion I love my tiara, and I don't thinks it's tacky, it's a really stylish, unique tiara. But it's too much for my outfit and type of wedding. I will wear a small hair comb like my flash, my veil and some small pearl drop earrings - I think that will be just enough.

I'm going to sleep on it and have a play with my hair and veil with my Mum this weekend. And then this one could be for sale Kyla!

It was a bespoke design from that picture, made from Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls by a lady at The Tiara Bar in case you were interested.

I'm having a side tiara and I love it!

I think yours looks lovely! This is mine...

That's lovely Bittersweet. It's similar to the comb I like but on a band!

The photo doesnt do it justice and it blends really well into my hair too. I'm also a big fan of pearly things!

THats gorgeous Bittersweet, I'm having side tiaras for my grown up bridesmaids but i want a veil and can't see in my head how a veil goes with a side tiara so going to have a 'normal' one myself I think

Im having a veil too with this hairstyle..

Its hard as i think alot of brides go OTT.

there are so many pretty sparkly things some think they have to have them all

I do like most tiaras, but not the BFGW ones.

If your having a big tiara i dont like it with big earrings and veil etc.

I am having a BIG side tiara i love it but wont wear any other jewellery, apart from some very simple earrings this is mine BTW

/products/rose-of-extravagance-side-tiara

That's me! I'm a magpie! But I am a magpie with taste, and so as Coco Chanel said, you must always take off one accessory before leaving the house. So that will be my tiara :-)

I definitely want my hair up. It looks so elegant. I am 99% certain I am going to have a veil at the back of my head, a small pearly hair comb and simple pearl earrings. No necklace or other jewellery. But my dress with have beaded straps so I definitely won't look bare.

I also think I need 5 different wedding days to wear all the styles of dresses and jewellery I have seen and love. There is so much choice of beautiful things, I can see why brides want to wear them ALL!
