    I embrace headpieces of all creeds and colours. Crowns especially. Princess Victoria of Sweden rocked a spectacular one on her wedding day.

    For my formal (prom) I fashioned myself a miniature top hat to wear.

    Eh, I designed my own dress which turned out to be quite a Moulin Rouge-esque costume, so I figured I may as well embrace it. Plus, I wasn't kidding about headpieces.

    Hah, while browsing for pictures of said top hat, I came across a picture of myself at a different formal, wearing a tiara. Have I no shame?!

    It's a tradition in Orthodox weddings - my friend married a Macedonian and they had a traditional ceremony which involved bride and groom wearing crowns. it was both culturally interesting and totally rad!

    I can not believe no one has mentioned this yet... But are you not the same person that has openly hated on the princess tiara bride???

    Ugh - I am so done with this blog. ESB is narcissistic and hypocritical. Nothing you write or post about is original anymore - just following the trend = Hipster.

    I bought a Sumatran wedding headdress like so http://etsy.me/n6abln before I actually had my dress. It doesn't actually work with the real dress, but I maintain it was a good idea and would be a fun trend.
    I bought it from that Etsy shop, and the lady said modern Indonesian brides want crystal tiaras, so families are selling their heirloom crowns. Wedding gentrification in process.

    Some crowns are very worth it. Most are not.
