Not quite sure what you're looking for but alot of us had success on ebay, wedding stores, or making our own.
I posted this thread about a vendor I found

It depends how much you want to spend or not...I made mine, but didn't want a sparkly rhinestone one, so it was easy. Here's a pic:
The one I loved but didn't want to spend so much money on:
The one I made (this was when it was still in progress):
So it all depends on the style you want and the price range! With more info, we can be more helpful. Congrats on your engagement!

I bought mine on eBay for $15. It's gold with little tiny leaf/flower/vines done with clear crystal. It's smaller, a comb-style rather than a full headband tiara. I'm sure I can find a pic eventually, but I recommend doing searches on eBay, or on Froogle, to get an idea of what's out there, what you like, what you want to spend, etc.

Now why am I the tiara queen? Honestly, just because I like sparkly stuff... 
Like the others said, Ebay and internet searches will turn up a lot.

No, I do not.  I have four....one of which I've never worn (bought for a HS dance and didn't wear), one I bought from Claire's for Halloween (that looks pretty crappy now), and the two that I bought for the wedding (only b/c the first one I got was too much).
But that reminded me, try Claire's or Icing for tiaras, they have them too. 
And yes, I should sell the one I didn't wear for the wedding.

EBAY, I bought mine that retailed at David's for $175 for $60 plus shipping. You may not find exactly what you want right away, but you could post a "want it now" or keep looking. I found the style I wanted from the store, had already bought the veil from there from this seller, contacted her back letting her know that I wanted the tiara, and she had one with tags for less than half it retailed for. Good luck!!
This picture does not show it in great detail, but basically it has ivory and white pearls with a few rhinestones on it. I know I could have gotten one even cheaper, but I fell in love with it and it perfectly matched my dress (and Joe's mother's pearls that I will be wearing!!).

Thanks for your reponses. $175 is too much for me, sorry.
But I found nice models with reasonable prices on http://www.all4weddings.eu. They ship EU-wide with low postage-rates.

You know what? You suck. I actually put thought into my post and dug up pictures to help you.
No one wants to buy your fugly tiaras and no one calls them diadems in the English speaking world. So there.

Oh dear  the girls here have no problem with advertising as long as its kept to the classifieds section, this way the girls are not going to be bombarded with ads that they dont want to see.
To be honest, not many forums allow you to do advertise free on a classified bit, so why abuse the rules? Please keep all ads to the classified, thank you.

Fake brides suck.
Why not be honest and tell everyone that you're selling tiaras? Instead, you've almost made certain that no one here will buy anything from you.

 They are getting more creative these days. Manipulating and then trying to sell. Makes me laugh at how hard they try.
