There seems to be no shortage of lovely headbands, crowns, wreaths, and such, for brides to adorn their locks with on their big day. I tend to favour the more delicate pieces, to keep the ficus on the bride's face and gown, but sometimes a more dramatic look really sweeps me off my feet.

I have been noticing a vogue for 1920s-inspired headbands for brides, for the last several months. (I blame my Pinterest addiction for knowing such things.)

Maybe it is because Baz Luhrman is filming a remake of The Great Gatsby... or maybe 1920s fashions seem to symbolize a kind of romantic decadence directly in contrast to the financial depression going on both then and now... or maybe it is simply because they are something different and pretty to look at... 

Whatever the reason for the emergence of this trend, I think the 1920s flapper headband look is lovely.
