What to Look for in a Wedding Dress Belt

Materials

From rhinestones to crystals to pearls, wedding dress belts come adorned in all kinds of materials. Deciding on the type of bling and the amount really depends on your personal style and your wedding dress. For those rocking a simple dress or jumpsuit, you can add some sparkle with a belt that has both crystals and pearls like David's Bridal Infinity Belt. Also keep in mind what jewelry you'll be wearing, so you can coordinate. If you rather leave the sparkle to your necklace and earnings, you can go with a taffeta sash like the Catrine Bow Sash. The oversized bow will still make a statement.

Colors

Think about your wedding theme and dress when deciding what, if any colors, to incorporate into your belt. Some brides opt for white belts while others add something blue like Lucy's Bridal Crystal Belt. Most designs let you choose the underlying ribbon and this is a great way to add a pop of color, like a subtle pink in Yanstar's Crystal Pearl Belt. If you are choosing between a gold or silver option, think about the jewelry you'll be wearing and going with the same tone.

Size

Needless to say, a belt should fit you correctly. Be sure to try the belt on with your dress to ensure it's not too tight or loose. We like how Eloquii's Crystal Belt comes in extended sizes.
