wedding dress / tiara advice needed!

Right, I'm no fashionista, and am feeling a little impulsive today, so is £160 too much too spend on a tiara (headband) bearing in mind my dress only cost £200 and we're sort of on a bit of a budget.......

so my dress is from monsoon www.monsoon.co.uk/bridal-dresses/lorton-dress/invt/85311741/ , and the headband I absolutely fell in LOVE with is this one www.floandpercy.com/bohemia.html#!prettyPhoto/3/ , but couldn't justify the £185 or so to buy it new, but its on ebay (brand new) for £160, what do I do???? I'm not great with ebay, there is a best offer sort of bid going on as well and someone else has already put an offer in.

Sorry know this is very petty, but I'm not very god at making decisions so thought I would get some advice! Do the dress and headband go together?? Any ideas on what else to try? I love the forehead band style but can't find another one I like so much.........

I would buy it brand new - there's not too much of a difference on price. I use ebay a lot to buy and sell and 90% of the time it's fine but very occasionally I'm disappointed. Since the price difference is not that great, I'd go for the new from from a shop website, so that if anything is imperfect you don't have to fight anyone. Beautiful choices!

Both beautiful Smile
London Bride sell it for 175 so a bit of a saving.
If you are on a budget and really can't afford it I would look for someone to make it for you instead?

Depends on how tight your budget is - my dress was expensive but I got my hair accessorises from Accessorize for less than £10

Personally I would not get it from eBay in case it is a second or flawed

Perhaps you could look at some other shops first if you are a bit unsure re the cost ?

Thank you for your advice.....I think I know I'm going to buy it anyway because I love it so much, just a shame for me I can't find anything similar cheaper.....so I may as well buy it new, and then maybe I can sell it on ebay afterwards and get some of the money back on it?? :)
