After a couple of recession-inspired years that saw brides-to-be paring back, not only on their “I Do” arrangements but with gowns that were more streamlined than princess-like, glamour is back in bridal.
And with it, the tiara.
“Tiaras are a good way to finish your overall wedding-day look, and to do something different and express your personal style,” said Ellen Heisler, senior associate fashion editor for Brides magazine in New York, which has flagged tiaras as a trend.
“They don’t have the stigma they used to have of being a little too proper or serious,” she added.
Just as tiaras are making a comeback in fashion, with Natalie Portman and other stars wearing them on the red carpet, they are beginning to show up in bridal, which is increasingly influenced by celebrity attire. The upcoming nuptials of Kate Middleton and Prince William of Wales is likely to add to the trend.
In bridal, Heisler said, tiaras falls in two camps. There’s “the simple, more delicate smaller piece that is tucked into the hair and looks really elegant and beautiful and effortless,” said Heisler, referencing the San Francisco line Haute Bride.

A magazine shot of a model or celebrity can provide inspiration for your wedding-day look, but a real bride’s style is probably much more attainable. So we asked recent bride Tiffany Acosta to share her fashion and beauty secrets with us. “I wanted my look to be classic and elegant—something that would stand the test of time,” says Tiffany. “I went to ten salons without finding anything, and I was ready to give up when I finally visited my friend Lindsie’s salon, Haute Bride—I was afraid the gowns would be out of my budget, but I went during an Adele Wechsler trunk show and got a great deal on a gown I loved.” Here’s how Tiffany put together her look:
Gown: Adele Weschler, Haute Bride, San Francisco
Veil, bracelet, earrings and hair accessories: Haute Bride
Shoes: M by Marinelli, from DSW, San Jose, 408-423-8044
Makeup: Tallie Choudhry, Lux Image Agency, Los Gatos
Hair: Michelle Phillips, Lux Image Agency
