This gorgeous belt will add a hint of color and sparkle to your white dress.

I’m sure you’ve seen it happen many times on Say Yes to the Dress: The bride-to-be is trying on a really pretty, but simple, gown and all it takes is the addition of a gorgeous sparkly belt to transform it into The One.

Although there are a ton of wedding dresses that come equipped with the bells and whistles they need to wow, some call for just a touch of embellishment to top off the look. Popping on a crystal sash will not only complement the shape of the gown (and flatter your waist) but can serve as a statement piece that really sets your dress apart.

During your appointment at the bridal shop, you’ll surely see a variety of belts and sashes—accented with ribbon, rhinestones, pearls and the like—to mix and match while trying on gowns. Before you decide on one, we suggest you take a peek at the slew of options that are available on Etsy. Their selection won’t disappoint, and in fact, we picked out a few stunners for you to start with.
