There's very few opportunities in life when you can wear a crown.

A wedding crown is more than just a beautiful accessory; it’s a symbol of the regal elegance and timeless beauty that every bride embodies on her special day. Whether you’ve been dreaming of a fairytale wedding or simply want to add a touch of luxury to your bridal look, the right wedding crown can make all the difference.

With so many styles and options available, choosing the perfect wedding crown can feel overwhelming. In this post, we’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting your crown, ensuring you find the perfect piece to complement your style and make you feel like royalty.

1. Understanding different styles of wedding crowns

Wedding crowns come in a variety of styles, each offering a unique aesthetic.

  • Classic tiara: A traditional choice, a tiara is often a small and dainty piece featuring crystals, pearls or gemstones. They evoke a timeless elegance and capture a princess-like aesthetic.
  • Floral crowns: Floral crowns can be constructed from fresh or faux flowers, creating a romantic and bohemian vibe. They are ideal for garden or outdoor weddings with their free-spirited detailing.
  • Wedding crowns: Wedding crowns and tiaras are terms that are often used interchangeably. Generally speaking, crowns are larger in size.

Your wedding dress plays a crucial role in determining the best crown style for you.

  • Embellished dresses: If your dress features a lot of detail or embellishments, opt for a simpler crown to avoid details clashing. A minimalist tiara with simple details works beautifully with embellished dresses as it will complement your dress without overpowering it.
  • Simple dresses: For a more understated gown, an ornate crown will add a pop of interest and drama to elevate your look.
  • Dress neckline: The neckline is an important detail which will influence your choice in crown. High necklines work well with simpler crowns. Strapless or off-the-shoulder dresses can accommodate more elaborate designs. Plunging necklines work well with crowns with peaks.

When it comes to styling your bridal look, referring back to your mood board is important to ensure your choices stay true to your original vision. The theme and setting of your wedding will be an important consideration to ensure you achieve the vibe you’re after.

  • Fairytale or royal theme: Classic tiaras with delicate and dainty detailing, featuring crystals or pearls, are a beautiful way to capture regality and a traditional spirit.
  • Bohemian and garden weddings: Floral crowns or vintage-inspired pieces will complement the relaxed and romantic vibe of these settings.
  • Modern weddings: Sleek and minimalist crowns will add a contemporary edge to your bridal look. Look for an unexpected take on the classics with baroque, keishi or smooth pearls or angular details.

Your wedding crown should perfectly frame your hair and face so your chosen hairstyle will be an important consideration.

  • Bridal updos: Wedding crowns pair beautifully with updos, providing a stable base for the headpiece to rest.
  • Loose hair or waves: Floral crowns and lightweight tiaras complement loose flowing hairstyles, adding a touch of softness and romance to your look.
  • Braids: Braided bridal hairstyles and crowns will create a textured and intricate look. Perfect for whimsical weddings.

We always notice that the moment a wedding crown is placed on a bride, she will walk with her head high with a confidence that only she knows.  It’s important to ensure your crown fits well and is secured in place. We recommend bobby pins or hair combs to secure the crown into your hair. Your hairstylist will be able to help you with the fitting to ensure it stays in place throughout the day.

We love a wedding tiara as much as the next bride and we were inspired by the beauty and delicacy of pearls in designing this exquisite piece. The AGNES delicate wedding tiara is our newest obsession – and it’s the perfect piece to indulge your inner royal.

The AGNES wedding tiara pays tribute to yesteryear with its antique inspired detailing and classic silver and ivory colour palette. It’s a statement piece that’s equal parts vintage-inspired and dainty, and bound by our signature feminine aesthetic.

The beauty of this piece lies in its fine and delicate details which have been offset by statement pearl focal points. We wanted to create a wedding tiara of medium height that perfectly framed the face and bridal hairstyles.

If you’re a lover of pearl details, pair it with the MIDSUMMER pearl drop earrings for a look that’s modern and chic.

Customisable to suit you

We love to offer our brides the option of customising our designs to suit your wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and personal preferences. If you’d love this crown with soft pink pearls instead of natural toned pearls, for example, do get in touch and let us know and we can certainly accommodate.

A silver wedding crown with pearls is one that will never go out of style. It’s refined, sophisticated and luxurious. It ticks all the right boxes – not too sparkly, a beautiful balance of texture and detail, and not to forget, feminine and striking.

Finding that perfect headpiece or wedding crown can be a challenge. Matching details and colours is one thing. But then to also factor in your face shape, hairstyle, proportions and your hair type all need to be taken into consideration. This is exactly why we live by our custom made mandate – because not all brides are alike.

We love the look of a wedding crown with pearls because we feel the subtle shimmer of a pearl adds the loveliest feminine touch to a headpiece. Freshwater pearls combine perfectly with sparkly crystal elements in a way that’s sophisticated and timeless.

The inspiration - Ryonna's wedding dress

The loveliest bride Ryonna was in touch about a custom wedding crown for her wedding day. She plans to wear two statement wedding gowns – a striking ball gown with sculptural ruffled details along the neckline in soft ivory tones. The second look will be a blush/champagne dress of equal beauty and delicacy.

We worked with Ryonna to create her perfect crown – one that brought together her favourite details from our collection, and one that complemented both dresses and her hairstyle.

Bride Ryonna loved the floral motifs of our FLEUR crown and ROSEBURY crowns, the delicacy of our TEMPEST crown and the fullness of our CARLA tiara. She also sought a silver and ivory palette against her dark hair.

A custom silver wedding crown with pearls

In designing this crown, we embarked on a unique scalloped edge to complement the lines of the ruffled edge on her ball gown. Her designer wedding dresses featured couture craftsmanship, delicate beaded elements and strong lines which all needed to be taken into account. It’s important that a headpiece or accessories don’t draw attention away from the dress. Instead, the perfect headpiece should accentuate the gown, as well as the face shape and proportions of the bride wearing it.

Custom wedding crowns and bridal accessories

Finding the right crown for you and your wedding dress depends on a lot of factors. Firstly, your wedding dress – of course! And of equal importance are other considerations including your face shape, wedding hairstyle, position of your hairline, hair type, your height and proportions, your bridal jewellery, your skin tone and your hair colour… Not to mention the venue of your wedding. A seaside wedding calls for quite different accessories to a cathedral or backyard wedding. And of course, there’s cultural considerations and superstitions that also need to be taken into account.

We specialise in custom wedding accessories because we understand the challenge of finding that perfect dress. We absolutely and whole heartedly understand the challenges of finding accessories to bring together the whole bridal look in a way that feels like you and not like a bridal costume that’s been handed to you.

If you’re looking for the perfect details to finish your bridal look, feel free to get in touch. Send us photos of your wedding dress including close up photos, images from your hair trial (if any), your bridal jewellery, shoes, and your face shape. We’d love to work with you to create your bridal heirloom.
