Just today we tried a newly arrived gown on a bride, and it looked good on her. She was tall and very thin, but not a noticable waistline. Her consultant, Emily, added a beautiful belt and oo-la-la, what a difference. The belt can make a huge difference in many ways.
Sometimes the bride wants a simple gown with just a splash of either color, or sparkle. A belt can give her as much or as little as she likes. Not only can a belt make your already great waistline look even smaller, but define you entire figure.
Bridal belts are very popular now. You can find anything from a plain simple satin sash to a fully hand beaded work of art. They range in price, here at The Something Blue Shoppe, from about $49.00 to $650.00. Our most popular belts, that seem to add the most for less, are about $199 to $249.
You can take a gown that you saw someone else wear, and change the appearance of that dress by adding a belt and the bride who wore it won’t even recognize it. It makes the dress your own, exclusive.
When shopping, be flexible and try on belts with your gown. You never know what the look of a belt will do for you gown until you try it. Having said that, let me add, don’t be afraid to try on anything. You just can’t know what dress, or accessories will work until you try them on.
After all, that’s why you go shopping, and at The Something Blue Shoppe, we have the very best consultants to help you put your wedding ensemble together so that it not only fits your body, but your style and image.
Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
