Wedding Dress Belts/Sash

I havent decided if this is the one I am going to buy. But this is the one I tried on and since my dress is plain, I think a sash would be nice.

I almost bought that same dress Kathryn... but it looks MUCH better on you!!

Lol thanks Jenn! I am sure it would've looked great on you too!

I got one for my dress.. It's just enough bling that it doesn't take away from he lace and makes the dress really pop!

Since you asked who didn't wear one, I didn't. I kind of wanted one, but like you said they can be pretty pricey and I realized I didn't need one. In the end, I'm glad I didn't have one because I don't think it would have been the right look. My dress did come with a plain tulle sash that I wore, but I'm assuming you're talking about the pretty sparkly ones.

I actually boughtm one from Michael's in the wedding section for $15 maybe? Anyway I loved it and you would never guess it was so cheap!

Here's the back, I thought it looked best in a little bow

@Kiwi -- those are some awesome photoshop skills!! I would never have thought to try that to really see what it would look like on

@Katie -- going to Michaels!! I had no idea they sold them there and that one looks great!!

Thank you ladies! I think Etsy might be my saving grace (first going to check Michaels) and btw -- all of those look amazing. I really think I'm going to find a belt but maybe just not the one I ordered already.

I bought 2 off amazon. One I hated. The other, i attached the link is cute. I havent tried it on with my dress but Ill keep it regardless. If it doesnt match, Im done looking. I just wont wear one. My dress doesnt NEED one so if it works great.

@Glam0rous - thank you! Feel free to send me a pic of your dress and belts you're thinking about. If you want, just message me! I am happy to use my photoshopping for a good cause ETA: I know it really helped me decide.

@Kiwi, I ordered a very simliar belt from Etsy --cost me about $50 and the quality was great! I wore it at my most recent alterations appointment and was SO happy with my choice. Can't wait to wear it in about a month. https://www.etsy.com/listing/215838031/bridal-sash-belt-bridal-belt-sash-belt?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=159

My dress has a lot of beadwork and lace appliqué on the bodice, so I'm not wearing a belt or a sash or anything. Just the dress.

I tried my dress on and it felt plain so I tried it on with a sash. At first I liked it but after looking at pics I decided not to wear one. 1- the bow took away the back of the dresses look 2- I decided to add some sequence along the right side (blends in with the top sequence on my dress) and I also want to make the top sweetheart shape. My dress will look pretty different once it's done but here's the dress with the sash and without -also without any alterations/additions

1- front (I apologize in advance I'm on my cell)

2- back with sash

3- without sash

I actually ordered my belt off amazon. It was $30 and is beautiful. It's amazing how much cheaper you can find them and how gorgeous they still look! I ordered mine thinking if it didn't go with my dress I could give it to a BM to use.

@BmoreBride - Yay! That's really good to hear about the quality, because the belt I posted is from the same shop! Same price to. I'm so excited now

@Mrs.Reyes2B - I LOVE your blue belt. It's a really great pop of color, so pretty.

@CMH I love the simplicity of that belt. I tried my dress on with and without a belt, I think I like it with better but my dress has a lot of lace detail I don't want something so bold and blingy to take away. The thin belt with pearls is perfect!!!
