The Cartier Halo is still my fav 🤍 Traditionally, tiaras are first worn by royal brides on their wedding day or by married women, however over the past century this has relaxed. 

It is the event which decides whether tiaras will be worn, not the status of the wearer. In the past, a full length gown would have been the indicator to wear a tiara. Today, they are only brought out for white tie events, such as state banquets and the annual diplomatic reception. Before the invention of shampoo it was much easier to secure a tiara in place, as the hair was thick and held its curl well. 

Today, tiaras are best worn on day-old hair. The velvet around the base of the tiara is made to match the exact colour of one’s hair. To keep tiaras in place, small combs or pins can be used, and thread hat elastic can be used to sew your tiara into the back of your chignon. 

Queen Victoria, Queen Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother), and Queen Camillla opted not to wear a tiara on their wedding day.
