Fairy Godmother to modern brides!

I began working on one of my favourite tiaras yesterday...the Elegance Tiara. Brides magazine have shown interest in writing a feature about 'Design a Tiara', and they've requested a number of tiaras to photograph for the 'possible' article, including Elegance.  But I have to confess that my stock is almost empty...so I'm making a few pieces to send onto them this week.  

The 'Design a Tiara' feature is such an amazing step-by-step process to designing your own tiara. I came up with the idea, as most of my bespoke clients loved a particular tiara design...but wanted it in a different colour...with different jewels etc.  So talking with my brother Paul, a genius web creator & designer, the idea of an interactive online feature was born.  Paul has spent many, many hours creating and refining this ingenious online designer...and we recently launched it on our website MiaMasri.com.

All you have to do is follow the step by step links...pick a ‘skeleton’ tiara design, add one of the base styles to your chosen piece, and you’re on your way to creating your own tiara. Choosing the jewels is my favourite step and it just adds the finishing touches…as you get to select various colours & sizes of Swarovskis, pearls & gemstones to complement your wedding colour theme!

It's my way of offering a bespoke tiara to everyone...without the bespoke price-tag and without any diary complications and geographical restraints...and the best bit is once you've had fun creating your tiara, you get to just sit back and relax while I make your own design by hand!

That's as close to being a fairy-godmother as I can get right now!!!  I think it's the perfect solution for the modern bride...who can now get exactly what she wants!

Check back soon.
