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...

    So, funny thing is mine came with a belt already in it and it loved it, but other than that no belt!

    That totally depends on the dress and the girl. For me and the dress I picked it’s no belt

    I think it depends on the dress. I got a belt for my dress to help accentuate my waist but I tried on a dress that would have been gorgeous on its own.

    I tried on a belt with a few of the wedding dresses I tried on, and it can definitely make the dress! I like both options. It really just depends on the dress.

    No belt. I think it breaks up the dress and makes it look awkward.

    I prefer beltless, but sometimes the dress just calls for a little bit of something, and a belt seems like an easy way to do it. Personally I hope to find a dress that I don't need to add anything to.

    No belt ! I’ve never been a fan of belts on dresses — a tie or bow maybe but no belt

    I think belts are tacky and take away from the dress (depending on the belt.) I prefer belt less for sure

    I am on board with the belted look, I think it can really help accentuate the waist. Not all dresses need it though, imo.
