A bride wants to look and feel like a princess on her wedding day, so it’s no surprise that tiaras are a popular bridal hairstyle accessory. Seen on celebrities like Elizabeth Hurley, the tiara evokes a romantic feel to complete a fairytale wedding. We asked our expert, celebrity hairstylist, David Evangelista, how to get the look:
“When wearing a tiara, the trick is to add texture to your hair so the tiara can grip onto your hairstyle. In order to achieve this texture, work mousse and/or hairspray into damp hair. Blow your hair out until it’s nice and dry, then tease your hair at the roots in the crown area to give the style added texture and hold. Create your wedding hairstyle, then place the tiara at the crown of the hair and fasten it into place with extra hair or bobby pins.
One trick I always recommend to my clients: use bobby pins that match your hair color. They will blend seamlessly into your hair and make any accessory look like part of the hairstyle.”
