Bridal accessories are abundant. Brides can choose from earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, headpieces, hand bags, and so much more. However, the trend that is really taking over is bridal belts. A bride can spruce up any simple wedding gown by simply adding an awesome accessory. Depending on the style of bridal belt, they can range from modest and inexpensive to over the top and somewhat pricey. However, there are tons of options for less than $200 that are sure to satisfy the taste of even the most particular brides. So, what are the options when it comes to bridal belts?

This year belts are making their way into bridal trends.

Simple fabric sash: Sashes have been around for a while, however, these days, they are available in so many different styles and colors. Lace bridal sashes or belts are super popular among the vintage, traditional and romantic brides. Depending on the type and quality of lace chosen, the prices can range widely. Be sure and choose a fabric that is within your budget. Satin sashes are very traditional accessories for brides and are available in a variety of colors (also with embellishments such as pearls, crystals, rhinestones, and flowers) and lengths. Satin sashes also tend to be the most affordable. A hot trend for designer bridal belts, such as those by Vera Wang, is organza and horse hair belts that are made into a statement bow. It really gives a the “wow” factor to something rather plain. Black is a great color choice if you choose this look.

Bead-encrusted belts: Bridal belts loaded with embellishment tend to be more expensive (also depending on the quality of the stones used). However, they are also stunning and can turn a plain white dress into something ultra glamorous. Bead-encrusted bridal belts are available with soft pearls—freshwater or faux—for the vintage, beach, traditional, or romantic bride. They are also available encrusted with rhinestones for the glam or modern bride. The rhinestone belts make a very bold statement and can be stunningly eye-catching. Crystal belts are among the most popular, as they serve as a happy medium between the soft pearl look and the dazzling rhinestone look. Crystal bridal belts are perfect for any bride, no matter the style.

Finally, a bride can find a designer to custom design a bridal belt and mix and match any or all of the above. A fabric sash belt adorned with pearls, crystals and rhinestones may be the way to tie together your look. That is the beauty of the bridal belt… a bride can make it her own and strut down the aisle feeling spectacular without spending a fortune!
