Fashion Friday: Tiara Tips

Many offices and elected positions within Masonic youth organizations require their girls to wear a tiara. Though all jurisdictions have their own rules governing what sort of tiara you can wear, if you're lucky you'll be allowed to chose a personal traveling tiara that will be yours to keep.  There are a lot of designs out there, enough to fit any personality.  So how do you know what type of tiara you should chose?



Tiara Tips:

Since chances are you will just get this one tiara to commemorate your term in office, be sure to chose something that will look nice with all of your gowns.  We here at Sweetheart Social are partial to Sweetheart Tiaras that actually incorporate a heart shape. 

What sort of dresses do you tend to wear?  More modern dresses look best with modern tiaras.  But if you tend to wear vintage style gowns you can continue to express that look with a more antique style headpiece.

Keep in mind that a rhinestone tiara and no pearls, will match any gown style.  If you chose to wear a tiara that incorporates pearls, make sure the shade of pearls in your tiara and the ones in your accessories are always a perfect match.

If you have short hair you will want to decide on a lighter, more delicate tiara that won't require lots of pinning to hold it in place


Pick a Tiara that Compliments Your Face:

• Round or Full: Choose a tiara with some height or one that has a peak, this will make your face appear longer and create balance.
• Oval or Long: Choose a tiara with little or no height that extends over your head from one side to the other at an even height or a thinner headband style tiara.  Avoid tiaras with a peak at the top, which will make your face appear longer.
