The Significance of a Wedding Tiara
Every girl has dreamed about becoming the prettiest bride on the most important day of her life and sparkling in a lustrous tiara to embody the feeling of a princess. From Disney Princesses to Royal families, tiaras have till date remained a prestigious ornament that continues to gain more and more popularity in a modern day and age. It has always been a significant statement symbol and a first choice for brides when choosing their wedding accessories. Yet, seldom people know its origin and purpose during weddings.
According to an age-old tradition, tiaras were only meant to be worn by brides on their wedding day or by married women. This is because the tiaras represent the loss of innocence to the crowning of love. That’s why we often see tiaras adorned by brides during weddings.
Throughout history, high-status men and women have had various kinds of stunning crowns and tiaras due to its symbolism of social superiority and power.
In ancient Greece and Egypt, pharaohs, kings, and leaders adorned gold headbands called diadems to reveal their power. The origin of the term “diadem” is derived from the Ancient Greek “diadein,” which means “to bind around.”
As time passed, the circular bands were transformed into peaked headdresses. Then in the late 1700s, the current form of gemstone adornments were worn by women. The term ‘tiara’ is originated from the Persian term for high-peaked headdresses worn by kings.
However, tiaras are not only restricted to royalty, but also found among many prominent celebrities. Among the fashion history, we’ve seen many sparkling tiaras adorned by actresses, icons, and princesses.
