I personally am not a fan of huge oversized flowers on babies. But that's a personal choice. The biggest I'd go is something like this :
-
I don't like them on my LO!
-
I like the one you posted, but ones larger than that aren't really my style.
-
I've only done it once, it just doesn't work for her face. She looks cute with little ones though.
-
No! I don't like the crocheted headbands or the big flowers tha look like they're going to eat the poor baby's head they're so big. I think part of it is that my daughter has TONS of hair and they just don't look right on her.
-
Nope. Not my thing.
-
@prettylizy: Even if it looked good on her, I wouldn't do it. There's just something about it that creeps me out. haha. I know i'm weird.
-
Not my style at all... We go for more understand but I do think it's cute on some babies..
-
No, I think they look silly and dated. I think they are the puffy shoulder-pads and crimped hair of the 00's. Also, some of them look like wee satellite dishes on bebe's head.
-
I'm so glad I have a boy so I don't have to worry about this, but either way I don't like them. Small ones are cute. Ones that look like satellite dishes are not cute.
-
@yoursilverlining: haha shoulder pads! i'm sure they will make a comeback soon!
-
I love them all! But I have to admit, there are 3 that I've bought that are just too giant to wear. One doesn't fit properly because it's the size of a plate...it may be dated, but so are the dresses that my mom put me in as a baby, haha.
-
But DD usually wears small flowers or bows daily, nothing huge. We do bigger ones for special occasions and just to take photos. She has this set that goes with most of her clothes...
-
Ugh, another thing I HATE! Those huge bows that attach to crochet headbands are so ridiculous. I think this is a Southern thing, too. Southerners just have the weirdest baby style taste, to me.
I do think the small bows/flowers are cute, though.
ETA: here's the Etsy link to that bow: http://www.etsy.com/listing/103409046/baby-headbands-baby-girl-headband-over
-
I think the smaller, lacy ones are cute, but big ones aren't really my thing.
-
@allison: Looks like that bow is trying to eat that baby!
-
My DD can barely keep a bobby pin in her hair much less a huge headband (which IMO are tres tacky).
-
Not really, at least not on my LO.
-
@Mrs. Sunglasses: just to add, I love her headband! She is such a gorgeous baby.
-
I like small ones
-
@HLK208: those are pretty! I love love love the etsy seller i got that headband from.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/babybirdieboutique -
Lainey's grandma got her this one, which I think is cute but probably wouldn't buy
-
My faves are this little bows from Emma Jean on Amazon. They remind me of my old cheerleading bows!
-
no, not really my style.
-
Sometimes I think they're cute but they usually look so uncomfortable! I'm all for comfort over looks.
-
@allison: That's so huge that I actually find it cute! DH would kill me though, he thinks I abuse her when I put a teeny tiny bow in her hair.
But I'm normally not a fan of big ones.
-
@allison: I agree! Another thing are those dresses that look like they are made from a pillow case and are smocked. I am praying my MIL or SIL don't buy any of those for baby girl
Not a fan of the big bows at all. Little ones are cute. But when it is half or bigger then her head, I have an issue with.
-
@Mrs. Sunglasses: adorable!!
The giant flowers aren't my style but to each their own! Many babies look ridiculously cute in them.
-
@HLK208: I love the little tulle ones! Did you get those on etsy? The one with the button is the sweetest thing ever!!!
I don't like humongous bows or flowers, or the big wide headbands..I like the skinny band and small flowers/bows similar to what @HLK208 posted:)
And I'm Southern and I'll vouch for the fact that they love them some huge bows/flowers/headbands! I got a couple of crazy ones as gifts!
-
Nope. I bought some teeny headbands for M thinking I would like them if they were smaller and I was wrong. I hate headbands on babies.
@mrs. sunglasses - this is the exception. I do love that headband on her!!!
-
@Smurfette: I love smocked dresses but not oversized ones. Sienna has had a few. I'm sure you'd like them. This is Ralph Lauren. I didn't buy it. It was my nieces and honestly I'm not even sure she wore it
-
Not my style, and I am a southerner :). I think smaller ones look okay on other babies.
-
@mediagirl: I think it can also depend on the baby. You know who some adults look ridiculous in hats I feel the same with headband with babies. Sometimes it just doesn't work.
Also in an headbanding because sienna has so little hair but soon enough ill be putting clips -
@Mrs. Sunglasses: That was isn't bad at all.
This is more of what I was talking about
http://www.shrimpandgritskids.com/Girls_Smocked_Appliqued_Clothes_bubbles_bishop_dresses_s/2.htmThen I really don't like the boys outfits
http://www.shrimpandgritskids.com/Boys_Kids_Clothing_Shortalls_longalls_jon_jons_bubbles_s/3.htm -
@Smurfette: ya that's what I thought you meant. Sienna has a purple one clearly she hasn't worn yet because its winter. But in not sure how I feel about it yet.

"It is our ability to accessorize that separates us from the animals!" (Steel Magnolias)
The only reason I prefer baby hair accessories on the smaller side (at least small enough that it doesn't look like it is in orbit around the LO's head) is that I think the larger accessories take away from the baby's face. And I want to see the baby's beautiful little face!
-
@PrincessBaby: yes! I don't think I've gone a week without buying a headband or clip on etsy since DD has been born haha. The shop is called 3 Lovelies Bowtique.
