Deep notes blasted from the long rams horns and light from what seemed like hundreds of flaming torches flickered around the cavern walls making Jenny’s head spin. As the light danced off the myriad tiny drops of water on every surface she thought that Jake’s idea of a wedding to remember was promising to be just a migraine to remember.

She had only just arrived. The wagon pulled by two bullocks (later found to be in lieu of oxen) had been the first shock but Sarah, her chief bridesmaid, had carefully covered the rough wooden seat in a large animal fur which had temporarily preserved the whiteness of her simple wedding gown and though the white silk now felt less crisp it glowed and shimmered in this strange light as if covered in jewels.

Apart from when she first ducked under the low outcrop of granite to enter this cave she had kept her eyes on where she was treading but now, after that spectacular blast of horn from five barely recognisable male friends, she raised her head to see Jake standing before her with a somewhat haughty look on his face.

Looking at him she felt that she had walked into a badly acted school play but as his eyes met hers she realised that he was genuinely proud to be here with her.

Around them on both sides, dressed in rough cloth and animal skins were all their close friends and family and one stranger. She looked at him, then back at Jake

 ”Oh he’s from the museum. I’ll explain later,” he whispered before taking her hand and leading her into a wide beam of natural sunlight that broke in through a gap in the rocks above. She smiled as Andrew, their friend, the vicar of the village and another keen but amateur archaeologist, moved to face them.

He was also dressed in rough hooded raiments and was obviously struggling to find an appropriate expression for this unusual occasion; a broad grin was temporarily winning.

Jenny did not recognise the words that he spoke but Jake was looking straight at her and translating the ancient vows: with all the strength in my body… with the gods as witness. Then it was her turn with another archaeologist friend translating. Jake then removed the floral headband she had been wearing and turning to his best friend Steve, took something from a sturdy box he was carrying.

It caught the light on every part of its intricate design, reflecting back red fire from its bronze curves and white fire from rough stones. Jake held it before her for a moment while it seemed to Jenny that the whole room held its breath, then he rested it gently on her head whispering “my queen” as he did so.

When he bent to kiss her the whole chamber echoed with the cheers of the congregation but as they all burst out of the cave into the sunlight Jenny was still niggled by the invisible cord that kept the stranger tied to her side. ” Jake, are you going to explain?”  she asked, indicating the suited man. “Ah, well, the bridal tiara  that you’re now wearing was a part of a treasure trove the lads and I found in this cave last spring, 11th century probably. The city museum now owns it, so it’s only on loan today as a big favour. But we couldn’t have the wedding there without it; crowns, or in this case a bridal tiara is key to the whole ceremony, just as you are the key to my life, my sweet Jenny, my queen for the day

Even Greek Gods wore headpieces that bound around their heads made of foliage and flowers. Tiaras, crowns, and other jewel embellished headpieces represent authority and pride, and although they have been used by early people back during the ancient time, they still exist and continue reigning on the heads of many, including brides.

It was Queen Victoria of England who set up the trend. She was the first monarch who wore white on her wedding day and has a beautiful tiara on her head. From there, it has been a tradition for brides to wear a white wedding gown, and they also adopted the “tiara” as part of their wedding accessories.

One of the most precious tiaras was worn by Princess Diana when she married Prince Charles.

In 1950′s, tiaras reemerged and became no longer for the royal and most affluent people. They became affordable because instead of using precious gemstones, jewelers and individual craftsmen use rhinestone to maintain the beauty of a tiara without spending a lot. From there, rhinestone has become a standard on any bridal accessory, which is way affordable than a gemstone jewelry. Rhinestones are available in various shapes and sizes, and can be adorned with either pearls or crystals. They can also be customized to match any wedding color motif.

Aside from bridal tiaras, there are other more modern headpieces that brides and bridesmaids are wearing these days.

The bride is like a crown princess on her wedding day, about to become queen by marrying the handsome king-to-be. This vivid image of a royal wedding like that of the late Princess Diana of Wales, is the ideal in the minds of most brides-to-be. Short of a horse-drawn carriage, most contemporary brides wear flowing dresses and long trains and yes, a wedding tiara.

But tiaras are not all the same. Here are some styles you’d encounter at bridal stores:

Rhinestones set in silver or white gold are very popular wedding tiaras. This is actually the common image you’d call to mind when you hear of the word. This tiara is a perfect match to the traditional immaculate white wedding dress.

Pearls set in either silver or yellow gold are also common wedding tiaras. Pearls give brides that classic, elegant look and the gold rim on the tiara ads a light touch of color.

Freshwater pearls with the ivory color are a popular choice for pearl tiaras.

Swarovski crystals are also gaining popularity with wedding gowns acquiring new shades. As colored wedding gowns become more and more popular, tiaras sprinkled with Swarovski crystals become more popular.

With the many styles and options for headpieces, tiaras are only a part of the selection. If you’ve decided on pairing a traditional wedding veil with a lovely tiara, here are some tips to help you select the perfect crowning glory for your perfect day:

Consider the overall look you want to achieve. Are you going for the classic elegant look, the innocent princess bride, or a contemporary modern look that’s both creative and adventurous? Your overall look should be consistent with the theme and motif of your wedding.

Think of your wedding day hairstyle.

Traditional bridal hairstyles favor the elegant bun or a lavish upswept style. Some brides with short hair though, may not like wearing hair extensions to achieve that regal look. That doesn’t mean however, they can’t wear a tiara. Tiaras can be combs or bands so you can just slide it in front of your upswept hairstyle or just wear it like a plain band.

Consider your wedding dress’ design. The tiara should compliment the brides natural look and match the design of her wedding dress. Elegantly simple dresses can go well with pearl tiaras, for example. But if your dress is more like a fairy-tale princess’ gown, the classic rhinestones in silver tiara may be more appropriate.

Think of the wedding veil. Are you wearing one or not? Not all brides like to wear a wedding veil. The presence or absence of a veil on the bride’s head plays on the choice of the perfect tiara. For those who’d wear one, the tiara is part of a duo headpiece; for those who are not wearing one, the tiara will be the lone crown jewel.

For the perfect wedding day tiara, it’s important to delay the decision for a particular choice until you have sorted out the details of the bridal ensemble. It will be a lot easier to pick out a perfect tiara when you have a visual image of the bride on her wedding day.
