With the royal wedding happening in just a few days, everyone's in a tizzy over what Meghan Markle will be wearing, and more recently, who will be walking her down the aisle. One of the important questions: Will Meghan Markle be wearing a tiara? Or more specifically, the late Princess Diana's heirloom Spencer tiara? We can't wait to find out.

But of course, wearing a royal tiara might be unattainable for the rest of us, but it doesn't mean we can't emulate the look. Here are ways the 21st century bride can ace it and in the prettiest ways, like when paired with a chic ponytail, here.

Cosmic-inspired details have been popular with weddings (like this starry themed ballroom wedding at The St. Regis Singapore) for a while - think galaxy cakes, crescent moon backdrops - and stars, in particular, have been appearing on wedding dresses and accessories alike. It's no wonder, too. They impart a whimsical and magical touch to any big day look.
