Happy Valentine’s Day to all my loves!

Is it it a commercial holiday? Absolutely. Do I even celebrate it with my own husband? Nope. Am I going to use it for inspiration for a post? You betcha.

Here are some romantic royal tiaras:

The Cameo Tiara:

An easy choice is the Cameo tiara from Sweden. This tiara has French roots via Joséphine de Beauharnais but that’s not what makes it romantic. This one is slap you in the face sort of obvious.

There’s literally Cupid on it! Several of the cameo’s feature Cupid, along with Venus, Ceres, and Bacchus.

It’s also a popular wedding tiara for the Swedes; along with Crown Princess Victoria, Queen Silvia, Princess Birgitta, and Princess Désirée have also worn the tiara on their wedding days.

The Baden Palmette Tiara:

The Baden palmette tiara from the Danish collection is another one that very obviously belongs on this list. While there are many palmette tiaras out there, this one has rather exaggerated curves, giving it a heart shape design.

In fact, Queen Margrethe seems to think so too, because she’s worn it to quite a few royal weddings, including the wedding of Prince Carl Philip and the now Princess Sofia of Sweden, below:

Queen Saleha’s Diamond Heart Tiara:

Another tiara with an obvious romantic design is from Brunei. Princess, or Pengiran Anak, Hafizah wore her mother’s diamond heart tiara as part of her wedding festivities in 2012. The name comes from the central diamond piece which if you look closely here, is in the shape of a heart.

The Khedive of Egypt Tiara:

This one is another wedding tiara but this one has a rather sweet backstory.

The story begins with Princess Margaret of Connaught who was in Egypt with her family when she met the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden. They fell in love almost immediately, but Gustaf Adolf was actually meant to be set up with Margaret’s sister!

Everything worked out in the end, and the Khedive ofEgypt had the tiara created as a tribute to the royal match that began in Egypt.

The tiara has ended up in the Greek royal collection and has been worn as a wedding tiara by Margaret’s female descendants since. Here’s a close up of Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleberg in the tiara on her wedding day with her father.
