Tips on How to choose a bridal belt or sash

Picking the right type of bridal belt or sash depends on your own personal style and your wedding dress.

Your goal should be to find one that adds definition without cutting the line of your look in two and complements the overall silhouette and style of your gown.

Tip #1

If you're looking to lengthen your silhouette, look for sleek, thin bridal belts with pretty, delicate accents that softly define your waist.

Tip #5

If you are looking for a bridal belt for a lace dress, consider choosing one that is well crafted and in the same tone as wedding gown with delicate beaded embellishments such as pearls and opal stones. Beware of large, loosely set rhinestones that can catch the lace on your dress!
