Hair Vines & Headbands

*This is not my picture*


Hey y'all

I purchased a simple but elegant hair chain to wear with my veil for the wedding, but I think it may be too simple. I wanted to wear it across my forehead but it's not giving me the feels I'm looking for, so I ordered some trim that will match and have to now decide on which one I like best.

Is anyone else trying to achieve a look like this? Did you buy something already made or did you DIY?

    Rather than across your forehead, have you tried wearing it like a crown/circle? That can slow look really elegant

    Well, I must confess that I haven't exactly figured out how exactly I want to style my hair. As I mentioned in another discussion, I have sisterlocks that reach down to the middle of my back. Our ceremony is on the beach in the middle of the afternoon. Honestly, this is the only aspect of everything that is just about stressing me out lol

    But to answer your question Julie, no, I actually haven't tried a crown-ish type of style yet. I posted a picture of the style I feel in love with and haven't been able to release it from my mind lol

    So, we'll see but I need to really decide on something since I'm kinda at the 2 week countdown right about not. Sigh

    I am not a fan of that style. I am going and cathedral mantilla style veil so I guess that tells you how bougie I can be. Smiley winking I think maybe go for a roman Goddess look with some gold maybe? Or something floral such as these below?

    Hi Arlene! When does your trim come in??

    I've seen really thin and delicate hair chains, and much more elaborate pieces that almost look like a crown - it all depends on your style! 🤩

    Love this piece:

    We've also got a few gorgeous styles in this round-up you could try like a high bun, loc'd braided up-do, or a side-swept style with a sparkly hair clip or barrettes:

    Beautiful!! Have you tried them on with your dress?? I'd love to see how they look together!!

    In this picture I'm drawn to the 1st trim, but I like smaller designs in general! Smiley shame

    I really like the one in the second picture you sent - it’s soooo pretty!


    No, I haven’t tried any of them with my dress as yet, including the simple chain I mentioned earlier. I actually won’t be able to do that until a few days before the wedding because my dress is with my mom on one island and I’m with my sister on another. So we’ll see . . .
    But I have tried them out just to see which one I prefer and I like the first one the best. It also got the most votes from my peeps. It will be interesting to see how I feel about any of them once I get back to my dress.
