Do you love the extra embellishment of a bridal belt with your wedding gown? Do you not need that extra little bit of bling? Are you on-board with the belt trend, or do you prefer the beltless look? Belt? Photo by McCardell Photography in Greensboro, NC Or No Belt? Photo by Creative Impressions...

    I think it depends on the dress and the bride's body type. I like how a belt makes your waist look smaller than it is, and I think if my dress didn't do such a good job slimming me down, I would've gotten a belt to go with it.

    No belt. I really like the seamless shape making graceful curves

    It depends on the dress. Some dresses the belt enhances it while others its just too much.

    I personally don't like the belt. But if my dress was simple enough I'm sure I would add one to give it an extra pop Smiley smile

    I like the belt. It separates your waist. even in a wedding gown, it can be unclear depending on how it's made. That said I won't need one because of the way my dress is designed.

    I can't decide for my dress...I like the simple look but I have a short waist and I'm 5'1 so it breaks it up a bit.

    I usually prefer the belt look except I'm not going with a belt on mine as it's covered in lace & beading.

    This one is hard.. I think a simple dress sometimes needs a belt.. but a dress with more bling doesn't need one.
