Dress help!

Hi all! My dress finally came in ☺️ I went to the salon for my dress review and the consultant suggested I add a small belt. I would love some opinions on whether or not I should add the belt to my dress. Thanks in advance!

    The dress looks beautiful either way, but I personally like the added touch of a small belt. As someone else said, it accentuates the waistline. Maybe check out various thin belt options?

    The belt adds a nice subtle pop but I dont think the dress needs it! You cant really go wrong with either way!

    I think the belt is so elegant and you're dress is gorgeous. Yes to the belt

    I like the belt but the simple elegance without is very charming. If you want a more simple veil or head piece I say go simple with no belt.

    I think the belt takes away from your classy dress.

    I love the idea of going no belt for the ceremony and then adding the belt for the reception to have a little extra flair!

    I love the dress either way but I do think the belt adds a bit of sparkle and it’s so subtle that if ties in beautifully!

    I like it with the belt, but you could go for two looks and do the belt for either ceremony or reception.

    The belt in the photo is not well positioned. It’s sitting below your natural waist, so it looks off. Also that particular belt doesn’t really do much for the dress or for you: it doesn’t accentuate your waist (because it’s sitting below the waist) & it doesn’t really bring bling to the dress (if that’s what you’re looking for).
    Your dress is simple, elegant & beautiful as is. Adding a belt is completely personal preference & you can go either way, based on what you like. If you do decide to add a belt, I’d definitely pick little wider belt with more bling, that will sit right on your waist.

    I like the belt! But have it just a little big higher up on your waist!

    The dress is beautiful and adding a belt makes it more stunning.

    This dress is so elegant and beautiful, Michelle!

    Have you decided if you will add the belt or not? How do you personally feel about it?

    Thank you!!

    I have received such great feedback from everyone and I think I’m going to talk to the salon to see if it’s possible to add it for the reception. I went in wanting a simple, elegant dress with very few embellishments and was shocked when I liked the addition of the belt so much.

    Gorgeous dress!! ❤️ I think it looks best without the belt. But it’s up to you for whatever you will be happiest in and however you see yourself walking down the aisle.

    I think that's a great idea! Having it removable so you can switch up the look a little for the reception is a great compromise Smiley smile
