This is just so typical me....I wear Tiaras quite a lot so always just assumed I would get one for wedding in July, didn't think too much about it or in fact budget for it.....last week at wedding shop for some unknown reason tried on a gorgeous side hair band and it totally changed my mind...
so today i google image side hair bands and typical me, honestly this is so typical me, totally oblivious clicked this one, fell in love. £350 :rotfl: if i did not :rotfl: i would cry!!
seen a few to hire but still like £60 and for 5 days so what about hair trials and stress of it arriving etc, plus what if it didn't suit me, and it wouldn't be mine to keep
the best i have seen is £250 on pre loved which is still a bit crazy!!
Has anyone seen any??? Has anyone got one they would sell me?!? lol
I started trying to look at "alternatives" or "inspired" i suppose what i need is a good old fashioned copy!
any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance

Hi there,
I'm feeling your anguish! I think hiring would be the best bet if you didnt want to fork out the full amount - but then if you did buy it outright, you could always sell it on / hire it out afterwards too? Failing that, have you looked at Glitzy Secrets? I got a fab vintage hair slide for my wedding (I cant wear tiaras, I have a huge head!) Their customer service is great and are very reasonably priced, as I struggled to find something suitable too (to match my Jenny Packham Petra)

I've seen people on Ebay who are renting these out for about £60-£70, that's always an option.0
