For most women, the wedding day presents the one shining moment in a lifetime—perhaps the only time—you will have reason to don a crown without reserve. On this precious occasion, why not indulge your girlish dreams to be a true princess for the day? Indeed, tiaras have been en vogue for centuries, and now more than ever brides have a marvelous array of choices. The key is finding just the right look perfectly suited to your gown and accessories. When your entire wedding ensemble comes together seamlessly, a sparkling tiara can be the crowning glory.

As timeless as the wedding itself, the bejeweled headdress was once a royal status symbol worn centuries ago by nobility and high society. European brides were initially crowned with diadems of foliage and flowers symbolizing the loss of innocence and the triumph of love. Now, a bespoke tiara is often a playful accessory for the contemporary bride and a true telling of one's personality. Choosing the most suitable style to complement your gown is the fun part. Look closely and you will find ornately decorated crowns with nature-inspired embellishments and scrollwork set in diamonds, crystals, and pearls. With each glance, you are pulled toward yet another beautiful dimension. Why not add a touch of fantasy to your day that hints of the extravagant world of Marie Antoinette, or the poise and elegance of Audrey Hepburn in the film classic Roman Holiday?

The striking Las Coronas headpieces featured in the following pages recall the enchanted reign of a princess, her presence at once feminine and strong. In contrast, an elegant crown of crystals and pearls set on a wave of brunette hair appears simply ethereal. A bridal trousseau should always contain one exquisite quality that manifests your personal beauty—the tiara is that wonderfully romantic touch. Embrace your role on the wedding day. After all, it may be your only opportunity to receive a true crown of love made exquisitely for you!
