How do I make a tiara stay in place?

I have a beautiful vintage tiara to wear for my wedding next month. It has six tiny silver loops that you can use to attach the tiara to your hair by pushing a hairpin through. But however many pins,it will not stay put!! My hair stylist is running out of ideas and I am getting nervous!! It's quite heavy and has no comb or teeth to hold it in place. I really want to use this tiara for sentimental reasons. Can anyone help please?!

Lucky you! Jennifer has the right idea of how to attach a comb or two combs to it.
I had a purchased tiara and veil, and what my hairdresser did was genius (I guess its just the years and years of experience doing brides...), and I've passed this along to MANY brides. My tiara had one comb; my hair is fine and straight - though I had some light wave left in it from a perm, my hair was just curled with a curling iron, it was maybe 4-5 inches long on top.
Now what she did was strange, but it WORKED. Here she had taken all this time curling and making my hair beautiful, then she did this - in her hand, she just gathered up a fair sized hank of my hair from the middle top (making sure my bangs and sides were left nice), and she twisted HARD over and over, til it made a knot, basically, because it coiled up on itself. Then she jammed in pins from different directions (now that hurt!), and sprayed it.. Then the comb from the tiara slid in under that, and that sucker DID NOT MOVE all day and all night. And it was comfortable!
If you area attaching two smaller combs, one on each side, that might work with making smaller 'knots' on each side of your head.
Alternatively, try this 'knot' thing with the hairpins, and the loops already existing on the tiara as you have it.
Good luck.
