Opinions needed please!

I wasnt planning on wearing anything in my hair for the wedding, just dangly earrings but I have now spotted a gorgeous headband on Flo and Percy's site (damn you Kirtsy!) and I love it but not sure if it will go with my dress.

Dress-http://hitched.photobox.co.uk/shared/photo.html?c_photo=113897567
Head Band-http://www.floandpercy.com/tiaras.html its the pink starburst one, scroll down.

I will be wearing my hair down something like thishttp://hitched.photobox.co.uk/shared/photo.html?c_photo=113269233 or maybe thishttp://hitched.photobox.co.uk/shared/photo.html?c_photo=1358424704
I do wear my hair down quite a lot and tend to push it behind my ears after a bit which isnt the prettiest of looks so I suppose with a headband I wouldnt do that?

Anyway what do you lovely lot think!?

    Firstly, you're dress is gorgeous and secondly, so are the headbands and tiarars! I don't think that your dress would tie you to anything as it is very simple and doesn't have any colour on it. I think a simple tiara or band/clasp might be nicest though if you're going for the more simple look?

    Maybe watch you're other jewellry and flowers if you're going for a coloured band?

    Good luck x

    Thanks pink bride - my colours are pink and brown and I searched for ages for the perfect pink earrings as I wanted pink jewellery but I didnt find anything quite right.

    I do really like just the simple diamonte head bands but I dont want one of those.

    But this one I just love ❤️ H2B will kill me though if he spots the price!

    Well if pink's your colour then go for it! ? If you can work it into your budget then why not? And if you're not having any other jewellry except this then maybe you can break the cost to him that way? It's such a statement piece, it would really set off your look!

    Wow!!!!!! The dress is beautiful elegant and understated and I think the headband would be simply perfect for it. You're gonna look gorgeous.

    Hi Fenella,

    Gorgeous dress and so elegant. I too think that anything would go with it, and the headband certainly would. Not sure whether I would still have dangly earrings though. If you want to stick with the simple elegant look, I would say earrings or tiara.

    Hi Fenella

    I can see the tiara atm, for some reason the work pc won't let me view links!

    Can't even look at home as someone has phoned up BT and cancelled our telephone line so that is currently getting sorted out. Hopefully be bakc on line tomorrow.

    How you doing?

    I agree mccaules. I wouldnt wear the dangly earrings with the tiara. Maybe just simple diamond studs instead. I'd have to wear something as the ear woman messed my holes up! [:I]

    Hmmm...decisions, decisions ?

    I love that head band Fenella! Think it would go beautifully with your dress. Simple yet stunning!
    Would you wear it with it pushing your hair behind your ears? You could just have one side behind your ear and the other forward (can see the earrings then.

    Thanks Cheekyleeky. I think I'd have it positioned so that it wasnt pulling all my hair off my face but just enough that my hair didnt irritate me.

    May have to have another trial with my hair lady.

    TBH FF Ithink they will look perfect together, and its not really too expensive (?)
    As to the OH knowing the price well he doesnt have to ? I havent told mine the price for anything as I am paying for my stuff myself so its up to me how much I spend, Plus you could always sell it afterwards, or tell him its a heirloom to be ?

    Hmmm...H2B probably wouldnt be that interested in knowing really! He doesnt mind what I buy most of the time. Will have to have a think. Have just had an unexpected cost with my car!
    Had to be towed back from the Midlands on Saturday which was fun...not!

    Anyway thanks for all your opinions. You naughty girls have nearly talked me into it!

    I think it will look fab with a tiara. Have you seen pics of Liz Hurley on her wedding day? She had a very similar ensemble with her hair worn loose like yours and she looked amazing.

    Hi FF ?

    I am so the wrong person to comment impartially on Flo & Percy jewellery…I LOVE it so much! I saw it after I#%92d organised how I was having my hair/flowers and it just wouldn#%92t fit in to wear anything of theirs…so I nearly changed everything to make it work! I think that item would look stunning with your dress, it#%92s so unusual and striking and as it#%92s quite intricate, I think it will be such a gorgeous contrast against your dress. Much nicer than Liz Hurley! Anyway I will stop going on, but if you get it please post lots and lots of pics! I#%92d be wearing it to clean the house in!! x

    FF I'm wearing a dress similar to yours with a F&P headpiece.

    It all looks so nice together, I highly recommend it!

    Ok so just had this conversation with H2B after telling Kirstie that my lack of funds meant I couldnt buy it.

    Me - Babe
    H2B - Yes
    Me - Oh nothing, doesnt matter.
    H2B - What's up?
    Me - Oh nothing, its bad timing really so wont ask! (We've just spent a fortune on my car today!)
    H2B - What do you want to buy?
    Me - Tut! Nothing!
    H2B - Yes you do. What do you want?
    Me - Hmm, well just something for my hair.
    H2B - How much is it?
    Me - You'll think its too much to spend!
    H2B - I have a figure in my head, if its less than that then no probs.
    Me - Oh ok...£125.
    H2B - Ok, well I'll buy it you then.

    Now I'm ?

    The tiara headband will be mine ?
