When choosing your tiara, you need to look at both shape and style. The style should complement your dress. For example, if your dress is beaded with Crystals, you should choose a Crystal tiara. A Pearl tiara will complement a dress or veil with Pearls, and a floral design a dress with a flower motif.

The shape of your face is an important consideration in choosing the right tiara.

            Oval Face

               you can wear most styles,
               but avoid a tiara that peaks in the centre.

           Round Face

            you need A tall tiara to add length

Long Face

 you need a low tiara of even height across the head.  A style which adds a little width at the sides would be ideal, or you might consider an alice band.

  Heart-Shaped Face

 you will need A v-shaped peak which will work beautifully

Introduction: Storing your wedding dress

Embalming your wedding dress, your great-grandmother's handmade quilt, or a valuable old tapestry in one of those cardboard boxes with a cellophane window could be a costly mistake. No fabric should remain folded in a sealed box for years, and cellophane windows can trap damaging moisture. Storing fine textiles is not difficult: Do the job correctly and preserve your precious garments for decades.

Wedding Dress Steps

Step One

Have the wedding dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible. Some stains, such as sweat, perfume and alcohol, may be invisible at first but will darken with time if not removed. 

Step Two
Choose between box and hanger storage. Keeping the wedding dress in a box may prove to be more practical, but hanging the garment in a closet is the best way to prevent difficult-to-remove creases. Purchase plenty of acid-free tissue paper. You'll need it whether you fold or hang the dress.

Step Three
Line an acid-free cardboard box with acid-free tissue paper if you are storing the wedding dress in a box. Lay the hem in the box first and then fold the dress accordion-style, placing crumpled tissue paper between each fold. Stuff the inside of the bodice and sleeves with crumpled tissue. Layer more tissue on top and cover with the box lid. 

Step Four
Wrap a wide hanger with cotton batting if you are hanging the garment, then cover it with muslin. Hang the dress and stuff the bodice, sleeves and any deep folds in the fabric with acid-free tissue. Cover the dress with a muslin garment bag and hang it in a cool, dry closet. Take care not to crush it with other clothing.

Step Five
Check the dress's condition each year. If boxed, repack so the folds are in different places; if hung, wash the muslin cover.
