    Hi everyone,

    So I am trying to figure out what would go best with my dress given that it already has flowers on it but no beading, no sparkles, etc..  Do you think it would be too matchy matchy if I went with a flower headpiece?  Would it be prettier if I added some sparkle to my look by wearing a headband instead?  I attached the pictures of the flower headpiece and the headband that I have in mine.  And also the pic of my dress.   Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    With your dress, I loveee the flower headpiece! On a side note, where did you get the picture of that headband - I've been looking for something like it!

    I like the flower headpiece.  I don't think it's too matchy matchy - I think it goes with the soft look of your dress.

    I like the floral one! I do not really think the sparkly one goes.

    i usually go with headbands but for this dress the flowers look more appropriate. its adds a nice accent, without looking too matchy.

    If it were me, I would go with the flowers. They match perfectly!

    I really think either would go but personally I like the flower more.  It gives the whole look a romantic feel.  And I love your dress.  Are you wearing that veil too?

    Talishazwi:   Thanks for your compliment on the dress.   I don't like the edging on this veil. I will probably go for a cut edge veil.

    Love both, but I will go ahead and give a different view.  I love the headband-gives a nice contrasting look.  I am in a similar situation,...no beading on my dress, and I opted for the headband.  Your dress is really pretty and you can't go wrong either way!~

    The flower piece would go so well with your dress! Not too matchy matchy at all.

    LOVE your dress!  I think the flowers match better. 

    You could also do a lace headband or something in pearls (or whatever matches your jewelry) ... that's softer than rhinestones/crystals.

    the only problem with headbands is that they could potentially slide off. headbands never sit right on my head and i'd be so afraid to wear one at my wedding, because my hair would be so messed up. the flowers you wouldn't have to worry about something like that. that's just me though.

    Gorgeous dress. I think either will look great, if you're having a very formal affair I would recommend the headband.

    I don't know if I would call it formal but it's not too casual either. I've attached the pictures of the venue.  It's actually a backyard of a hotel surrounded by some ramparts from hundreds of years ago (the location is in Istanbul, TUrkey.)  But the decorations are pretty modern so I don't know.  What do you think?

    I think either would be lovely, but I love the feeling the flower gives.  So romantic.
