Went to my first fitting today.
First, I feel so much better- between buying the gown and it coming in I lost 15 lbs. all in my lower half and I when I put it on months again when it came in I had no moment or tears, in fact I was disappointed because it was so huge and had no shape.
I’m relieved seeing it pinned to my shape and falling in love with it again.
Second, I’ve been questioning the belt the dress came with for months and months and asked to try some on and LOVED this one…but I want your opinion, as well.
The dress came with this belt…(sorry, the dress hasn’t been pinned here and so it’s not fitted to me)..

And I fell in love with this one…


Really happy to see things coming together!!!

Hmmm I think both belts look awesome with it! The black is a little more edgy and the blingy one is classy. I think it’s a style choice!

The second belt is much better than the first. The first belt detracts from the beauty of the dress and you in it. The second belt complements the dress and your shape, it is so much nicer.

The second belt is classic. ๐ your photos would be timeless. I beleive the other belt would date you. As Oh that’s when color was the trend. I say the 2nd would be my choice ๐

Love your dress!
You can’t really go wrong with either sash, but for some reason Im leaning towards the black one. I tthink since its wider it accentuates your waist more.

If the first belt already comes w/ the dress and you own it and you want to buy the second belt (you should, it’s gorgeous, but as a fellow blingy belt bride I may be biased!), why not switch belts between ceremony and reception? It could be fun! ๐

Thanks Ladies- I can always count on your great opinions (esp when they line up with my own :))
I did buy the second belt. The fact that I’d been questioning the grey one for months and months and looking at endless sash photos let’s me know that it just wasn’t what I wanted. I’m super happy with my decision!

I really like the second belt best. As other posters said it doesn’t take away from the dress like the first one kind of does.

@mmm_jacklyn: The first one is defintely beautiful, but I was just never confident in my decision and the last thing you want to feel on your wedding day is a loss of confidence over such a minor thing. Feeling much better about my choice, and of course, now I’ll have 2 belts!
