With or without belt?

Yesterday I tried on my wedding dress for the first time in over a year. I was worried it wouldn't fit me cause COVID weight gain.but THANK GOD it fit perfectly and im so stoked about it. now my only question is...to add the belt or not. when I first purchased the dress I got the belt cause I wanted to add just a bit of bling to the dress but after trying it on yesterday...I kinda like it without the belt better but im afraid it will look TOO plain.


I know I can spruce up the dress with accessories. but other than a necklace and my ring I dont plan on wearing earrings or a bracelet etc and I haven't decided how I want to do my hair and if I would add like a head piece or not. So to belt or not to belt? With or without belt? 1

    I like it with the belt- it hooked it just enough. Without I’d just a tad too plain.

    I like it without the belt as most don’t improve on the look, but it has one already made of the fabric. So you could hide it with the jewelry or skip it.

    I have never seen a belt that has improved the look of a wedding dress. I always feel like the silhouette looks better without the addition of a belt. Team no belt here!

    Team belt. It’s beautiful and it’s accentuating the smallest part of your waist so very flattering

    I'd say no belt. Anytime I've seen a belt with a wedding dress it doesn't do anything flattering for the woman's figure.

    With belt but, cut the belt tag off.

    I'm usually team no belt, but I think it looks pretty. That said, the dress is beautiful by itself, so it doesn't NEED the belt, but if you like it, it doesn't take away.

    I vote no belt, but I think adding a necklace or a veil with some interesting sparkles, lace, bling…etc would help to keep it from looking “plain.” But I really don’t think your dress is plain, it’s very elegant.

    Team belt! Adds just enough sparkle and makes your waist look super tiny! Perfect l!

    Thank you all for your honest input! It seems like an even number of opinions! But I appreciate seeing everyone's pros and cons to each. Still deciding but this has helped a lot!

    No belt! I've never liked belts on wedding dresses, adding them just for bling takes away from the beauty of the dress imo. Accessorize with pretty jewelry instead! Smiley smile
