Belt/No Belt

I absolutely love looking back at pictures of my dress. However, the one downside is that I don't have many pictures of my dress without a belt.

I absolutely love looking back at pictures of my dress. However, the one downside is that I don't have many pictures of my dress without a belt. I specifically told the consultant that I wasn't interested in wearing a belt with my wedding dress (I've never been one to look great with a belt around my waist because of my shape). When I fell in love with this dress, the consultant immediately tried to add accessories to make me feel like a bride and the belt was something she kept insisting on. I don't think I want to get a belt because I don't want it to take away from the dress (especially the buttons down the back) but I'd be interested in some opinions! How do all you ladies feel about wearing a belt with your wedding dress? Did anyone feel pressured into getting a belt? Which do you think looks nicer with my dress?

    They can tack the belt to your dress where it stops at button instead of covering them. It's an easy fix, the belt is gorgeous

    I like it much more without the belt. The belt breaks it up too much.

    No belt. They do that at bridal shops so you end up paying another fortune after the cost of the dress!

    Looks better with NO belt sales lady should not have insisted on you trying on a belt she only was thinking about her commission

    Agree with SaraJ. re: being able to add it without covering the buttons. I actually love belts but ended up picking a dress on which a belt would be a distraction.

    I like the belt.

    But keep in mind you have TONS of time until your wedding so you don't have to rush into a decision! You can probably decide this 2 or 3 months before your wedding and still have plenty of time to incorporate it. My wedding is this October and I haven't had my first appointment for alterations yet, it won't be until early August (2 months before my wedding).

    My first appointment is in December and I'm currently under a lot of stress with two jobs and an internship for grad school so I am just trying to get things done when I can. I'd like to go in December with ideas for how I'd like to accessorize so I can take pictures and get to planning a look I'm happy with. This feedback has been extremely helpful!

    Belt! But it sounds like you aren't a fan of the belt.
