Belts are becoming a popular trend in the bridal industry. From a lace sash to a fully beaded Swarovski belt, these last touches can be the perfect addition to many different wedding looks. It is important, however, to avoid over-accessorizing and only add a belt when it contributes to the beauty of the dress, rather than take attention away from it.

As you can see in the two above images, belts have the potential to spice up a simple gown. The lace on this Martina Liana dress (style 581) is elegant and understated. Adding a belt to the look gives it a little sparkle and definition at the waist. Clearly, both options are stunning. That's why it's also a good idea to wear the belt during the reception only. Once you take off your veil, it doesn't hurt to add another accessory to make everything look a bit more complete.

A fuller gown can benefit from a belt as well. It draws attention to the waist, making it look smaller, and adds sparkle to the gown. On the above dress in particular, the sash adds a cute bow to the back of the dress.

Designers often make belts that match the gown itself, which can give a very complete, put-together look. You can even get a belt in a different color to accent your color theme at your venue, or your bridesmaids dresses.

A more modern belt option is the super skinny beaded belt, which adds a touch of definition and sparkle without being over the top. This style is best for brides who don't like a lot of bling, but still want something to spice up a lace or plain dress. It's a subtle way to add glam to your gown.
