Be a Goddess on Any Budget! – Gorgeous Grecian Headbands from £7!
From high street to haute couture, everyone is going gaga over gorgeous Grecian style headbands – one of the most versatile hair accessories for brides, and an excellent alternative to a traditional tiara. They look gorgeous with almost every hair style, and are incredibly versatile for any budget!
Perfect for a laid-back romantic look, Grecian headbands are a huge trend this season. A style typical of boho babes such as Nicole Richie and Sienna Miller, these headbands compliment silk sheath wedding dresses, drop-waist Grecian styles, or draped a-lines. Wear hair loose and wispy to finish off the look, and for extra props, add a delicate art deco bracelet-to-ring in gold.

Asos is great for purse-friendly online purchases. It’s hard to tell, but these headbands above are from just £7! We especially love the spike crown headband (top center) which is perfect for a rock-chic, and the multi-chain gold coin headband (bottom right) for its blinging Grecian style!
