Remember when I said I wanted to wear a hair flower? Well, I lied. Okay, I didn’t really lie, but I’m having a hard time keeping my eyes away from all the latest headband eye candy out there.
See, two things really did me in. First was watching Say Yes to the Dress. I mean, Randy pulls out all of these amazing things, and I just nod along and add new items to my wish list. Well, on a recent episode (I have no idea if it was the most recent one or not, I just set my DVR to record it whenever it’s on), he pulled out this amazing headband that was reminiscent of the 1920s prohibition era. It was sparkly, it had ribbon, it was gorgeous. I put it in the back of my mind though, because I had already decided on a hair flower.
Then earlier this week, Chelsea from Oh My Deer posted more amazing headbands from her Etsy shop on Weddingbee PRO! I was smitten.
So what did I do? I ran to Google and started searching for my very own headband. Just to look though, you know, not to buy. I’m wearing a hair flower, remember? 
Here’s what I found:
This changes a lot. Not that I’ve bought a hair flower yet, but I was trying to incorporate it into my hairstyle choices. Now I’m thinking of taking both items to a hair trial and seeing what I like best.
What would you do?
THey’re both cute options!!! I actually had the best of both worlds because I had a headband that had flowers on it. 
I love headbands! I think they may end up being the new hair flower.
Oh man, I love them all! I’d probably do the same thing and take both. You just never know what looks good with your intended ‘do.
I honestly really love the headbands, I think they add more to a hairstyle and show from a front view of you, whereas the hair flower tends to only show from a side or back view…Not that I don’t love hair flowers too (bridal blasphemy not to!) but I am really diggin the headbands right now…
I’ve been wanting a headband so badly! But I’m not sure how it will look with my bandeau birdcage. I’ll probably end up with a flower or nothing.
oooh i see why you changed your mind! i say bring both and see what you end up liking most!
Yes, definitely both. I saw a gorgeous flower headband at Anthropologie a couple weekends ago, but it was $42 and sort of flimsy looking - like I’d lose a flower before I got through the ceremony.
Do headbands ever hurt your head though? I often get a headache after half an hour!
@jduck84: Yeah, they do. I was thinking of going the ribbon route so hopefully that won’t be an issue. I have one headband I can’t ever wear for more than an hour because it hurts too much.
@Miss Trail Mix: I definitely agree! I think they are the new hair flower!
When I bought my dress at Kleinfelds they had me try on one of the ribbon with jewels headbands and while it was super fun and adorable, just not so me (plus it was over $300). I do think the ribbon one would be the way to go if they hurt your head.
I would totally go with the headband. Have you seen the ones by Ban.do? They rock and they look very prohibition era! I’m in love with the one with bows. sigh.

I love the look of the headbands, but they always make the area behind my ears hurt.
I would definitely take both to your trial hair appointment and see what you like best. Your hairstylist may have tips on what works best with what hair style you’re wanting. Good luck!
i bet you’ll look adorable in a headband. these are so sweet looking. i may have to jump on the head-bandwagon (oh lord that was lame).
@jeaninelovesyou: Aww, thank! And hey, I liked that head-bandwagon thing.
Randy totally got me hooked on the headband, too…i was “going to do a flower” decisions, decisions!
I saw that same episode and I’m going to call the store tomorrow and find out who the headband was made by. I know the episode was called ‘Plan B’ and the bride’s name was Sarah so hopefully they don’t think I’m too crazy. I love the ribbon headband look!
I’d definitely take them both - those handbands are awesome!

I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
