Q: Is it OK to wear a tiara? I really like them, but I'm not sure if they're "out" right now, or if my guests will think I'm trying to look like a princess.

A: Of course it's OK! This is the thing with wedding trends -- yes, certain styles come "in" and "out" of favor, but the most important thing is to choose what you love. If you want to wear a tiara, go for it.

When you're deciding what to wear for your wedding, think about how it all fits together. Will a tiara work with your gown? It might make a princess-style ball gown a little too precious -- or just right. Try it all on together.

Number two: Will it work with how you want to wear your hair? (And if it won't, which will you compromise on -- change your hair, or change your headpiece?) Once you've put together a potential look, your next thought shouldn't be how your guests will react. Instead, think about how you'll react in five, 10 or 20 years.

After all, you're going to be looking at yourself in this get-up in your album, on your walls or wherever your wedding photos are displayed, pretty much forever. If you've come up with a bridal style that stands the test of time for you, that's what really matters -- not whether you're following the trends.
