Headbands

So, this post is mostly just going to be wedding porn for those of you who like pretty things.  If you're not here for pretty things, you can skip it.  :)

For a long time, I wanted to leave my hair curled down with a bridal headband and veil, like this:

So, I've been looking for headbands on and off ever since we were engaged, and there are some really gorgeous ones out there!  Unfortunately, the "wedding" word makes a lot of them obscenely expensive, and a lot of them don't really go with my dress.  I tried on a ton of them and figured out that I really prefer the thinner ones, which are much harder to find, so I opted for a more elaborate updo instead.  But, now I have this collection of pictures of headbands, so I thought I'd share.  :)

Kirs​ten Kueh​n, "Alex"

Untamed Petals, "Sage"

Sara Gabriel, "Vera"
(I love this one!)

Elizabeth Bower, "Downton"
(The leaves are so pretty!)

On Etsy (my friend says most of these are craft store beaded trim glued to a ribbon):

SunKissBridal, "Julie"

IngenueB, "Claire"

EdenLuxeBridal tiara

ForHerSpecialDay

Brass Lotus, "Elsie"

And finally, some "real weddings" pictures from the internet:

Even though a beautiful headband was originally the plan, I'm not too sad that I never found one.  I love my updo and my veil, and a veil and a headband might have been too much.  Also, apparently headbands are the new tiaras (they are often even called that), and I really never wanted to be a princess, anyway!
