Hair accessory help again please! *mega flashes*

I tried one of the headbands....a 2 strand one, and my hair is so fine i just didnt feel like it would stay put, but im sure a really good hairdresser can solve problems like that!

might be worth buying a cheap version (off ebay say) and go to a hairdresser get it put in and walk around all day with it on just to see how secure they can get it before splashing out loads of money on one!

Thanks, that's what I was wondering as my hair is fine, but my friend said it shouldn't be a problem to secure it. Plus she will be there all day with me so on hand to sort out any malfunctions.

I do plan on getting a cheapo one first to try, I just would like to hear opinions on the sort of style people think would work with the dress as I am so indecisive! Or if people say no it looks totally wrong, then I can start finding other ideas!

I think I prefer the single or double strand ones - the ones which have shaped parts (explaining myself well!) are more grecian in my view and I don't think suit your dress.

I know you are leaning away from side tiaras but with what you say about your hair style and wearing the clip at the back I'd go for a tiara band - then you get the detail you need but can be assured that it will stay in place all day if the ribbons don't. Something like this http://www.louloubelle.co.uk/tiaras_bands_bands.html

I actually made that band being worn by the bride in her dressing gown & it stayed in her hair all day

Feel free to get in touch if I can help at all

Thanks everyone. Debbie, I think I actually flashed your design twice, or if not there is another very similar on my pics to the dressing gown one! Thanks for the feedback, good to know they are safe and secure.

I have no rush so will keep on browsing and maybe the perfect one will come along nearer the time. I just like to be super-organised and see what everyone thought of the idea with my dress...glad nobody is saying it is a daft idea so far!

I make these type of headbands too - feel free to have a look https://www.taximystuff.co.uk/headbands.htm through them. I would suggest something simple - like the design I did for one of my brides where it had pearls and rhinestones - but wear it like a headband https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150141511684409.329590.52939309408

Feel free to emai if you want to discuss x

LOVE your dress!!! and like the double hairbands the best - but in that dress you are going to look amazing no matter what!

I'm not a fan of the diamante ones with your dress. Your detailing is quite classic with the pearls so I'd stick to more pearls and beading rather than sparkly stones. Nice idea though with the ribbon headband. Given me some food for thought ?

Ps. LOVE NUMBER 3!!

Hi Pandora's Box.

I have some simple pearl and crystal tiaras on my site:

Good luck with the wedding.

You might want to get an out-of-the-box hairstyle. Try to sport your outfit with flower headbands. There’s a lot of these stuff online. Check them out so you can find something that will match your outfit.

All gone now..........

Katie This is an old post that has been resurrected for some unknown and random reason

Oh yeah!!!! Apologies.....I'd not ever looked at the OP date! Hmmmm......I'll see if I can delete mine too, as it makes me look like a doughnut too.

Wow I did some mega flashy. What the flip is an out-of-the-box hairstyle?

Katie if it was good advice please un-delete as I still haven't made any decisions about the ribbon/tiara thing!

Ha! I'm about to take on your mega flashing....? Sorry I'd deleted as I know it's frowned upon to post old posts, and I didn't want to look silly. Anyway.....

This is a design I did recently for a bride. She wanted a ribbon tied around her head & hanging underneath, but wanted the support of an alice band, so I've used traditional millinery techniques to add a secret support.

This here was actually designed to be a forehead band, with the detail sitting to one side of your forehead, but could be worn in an alice band style.

This is a side tiara that I've done and I always looks very delicate.

And here are some alice bands........

This is what a Hitcher had, as she wanted something on an alice band too and we had several designs going back adn forth until we got to this.

And I know it's a starfish.....(beaach bride) but this bride was looking at alice bands and decided on this comb in the end. Any design like this can be amended to suit your final idea.

I hope this helps and I've not confused you more. Feel free to drop me a line if you'd like to. ****@****************.***
