Please give suggestions!!!

This is my dress...

I love the art deco era/old Hollywood look.
I cannot decide on if I should wear birdcage or a headpiece that goes across forehead...
I am open to suggestions and ideas. I have been searching and searching for headpieces online but am so nervous to buy something and it not work because most places don't allow returns and these things are so expensive!!!!

  • I think your dress is very pretty.

    I would go with a birdcage or a dramatic hair piece that goes on the side of your head or even a dramatic headband.

    I am absolutely not a fan of headpieces that go across the forehead.  I find them to be incredibly distracting.  My eye would go right towards the thing on your forehead instead of focusing on your pretty face.  I know that Kim Kardashian made that look popular with her doomed wedding but I thought she looked completely dumb in her forehead headpiece.


  • Ditto everything Maggie said. A fascinatior or birdcage would be perfectly dramatic.

    When I see brides with a band across the forehead, I always think they're attempting to adopt a culture to which they don't belong.

    Sorry for the double-loves, but PPs said it perfectly. 

    As for you, OP, that dress is GORGEOUS! Great pick!

  • a birdcage would look nice or a clip that looks like a brouch, or flower. But no forehead stuff.

    Your dress is beautiful

    Thanks all for the advice and compliments on dress (I am completely in love with it)

    I originally wanted a birdcage but don't like the netted ones, I prefer tulle. Which limits my options. But have a friend that can make one so now I just have to find the right art deco looking hair piece to attach birdcage to.

    The forehead thing had nothing to do with Kim Kardashian...lol

    My theme is 20s/30's and headpieces were popular then so it was an option I was considering and there are so many awesome ones on Etsy! Also my fiancé is Indian (Hindu) so the across the forehead headpiece would also somewhat resemble traditional Indian wedding attire. (just an Americanized version)

    I got a great tulle birdcage veil from www.whitedovebridal.com   They are really reasonably priced.
  • Gorgeous dress. I'm another vote for birdcage veil.
