Like gloves, the bridal belt is a way to assert your personal style and personality through your wedding gown. Some dresses come with a sash, but choosing your own is one way to make your outfit truly unique, especially if you're not going for a custom dress. Belts also highlight the waist, enhance your silhouette, and can infuse some much-needed color. But the variety of options can be overwhelming, so we've done the dirty work and narrowed down the choices for you. From simple leather bows to bedazzled sashes, we found a selection to fit every budget. Click through the gallery to find the perfect waist-cinching finishing touch for your gown.—Debbie Min
