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...

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?

    I had a belt, but it looked like part of the waistline. Otherwise, I'd say no belt.

    I really didn’t think I’d want a belt but it looks great on my dress and gives a little extra sparkle!

    A blingy belt if the dress doesn’t have any sparkle, but if it does you don’t need the belt

    It really depends on the dress. If it's very plain then yes I'd use a belt.

    No belt. I'm a little bit, uummm, plump and a belt would make my stomach more noticeable

    No belt - but also depends on the dress. My dress doesn’t have a belt but has a low and glittery neck line, some are simple and elegant and need a little dazzle.

    I will be upgrading the belt that is currently on my dress to something a little larger. It has a narrow sewn on application but alterations said it was no problem to add a larger belt to define the waist more.

    No belt! My dress didn't call for one really, thank goodness. But skip the belt all day.

    I like dresses with no belts. Let the dress speak for itself without needed extra accessories
