Fashion designers especially often resort to this trick if the dress has a simple cut. Such the style will suit for girls with tall stature, it visually makes them shorter.

Going against tradition?

Grandmothers and aunties who insist that the bride must wear white, as it has been customary “from time immemorial,” are greatly mistaken. The tradition of wearing a snow-white dress to a wedding is quite young, it is a little over one hundred and fifty years old.

Previously, brides tried to sew a colored dress for their wedding, since it was more practical and could be worn after the wedding.

Red accents in a bride's wedding dress are common among many nations. Thus, Russian brides dressed in snow-white shirts and red sundresses. Red ribbons were woven into braids. So the combination of white and red in wedding suit can be called not innovation, but a return to tradition.

The meaning of the color red is happiness, joy and celebration, so it is perfect for a wedding.

Palette

The red color is rich in various shades, so every bride will be able to choose a belt of the color that suits her taste.

Scarlet

The bright scarlet color of the accessory is the choice of brave brides. Such a belt will help emphasize the grace of the figure. But of course, a lot will depend on the style of the dress.

So, for girls with a thin waist, a scarlet belt will allow them to emphasize this feature of their physique. If the bride has an “apple” body type, then she should choose other options. Or choose a dress with an offset waistline and place a bright accessory there.

Scarlet details look especially beautiful on brides with a bright appearance. They look great on light-skinned and dark-skinned brunettes, as well as bright blondes. But for girls with a soft, pastel color type ( brown hair, light eyes), it is better to choose a different shade of red.

Berry shades

For girls with an autumn or spring color type, berry shades of red - juicy raspberry or noble cherry - are perfect. A belt of this shade looks no less impressive and goes well with the bride’s appearance.

Deep burgundy

The shade of noble red wine is an excellent choice for brides of an elegant age. A velvet belt of this shade in combination with other accessories will make the bride stylish and feminine.

Coral shade

If the bride wants to be not only original, but also fashionable, then she should pay attention to a coral-colored belt. This color is a favorite among fashion designers, because it harmoniously combines brightness and restraint, tenderness and nobility.

Decor

The belt can be made in laconic style, that is, just a red ribbon. This accessory is perfect for dresses with decor. If the dress has a laconic cut and is devoid of decorations, then you can wear an embroidered belt with it. For embroidery they use gold or silver threads, beads, artificial pearls, transparent crystals.

Belts decorated with lace look great. Moreover, the lace can be matched either to match the belt or to match the fabric of the dress.

Choosing a belt to match the dress style

Red belt used to complement wedding dress, may look different. This one could be:

• narrow tape;
• wide elastic waistband with slimming properties;
• the most noticeable detail of the image with rich decor;
• accessory with a bow or large flower.

The choice of belt option is largely determined by the style of the dress.

Princess style

One of the most popular styles wedding fashion are dresses with corset tops and layered skirts. A fluffy dress should be complemented with a wide, eye-catching red belt.

The belt can be decorated with a large bow located in the center of the back. In this case, the free ends of the belt will fall onto the skirt. The ends of the belt should be made long so that they reach the edge of the hem.

The second option for placing the bow is on the side. In this case, the bow is made less fluffy, and the ends of the belt are made shorter.

In the event that the bodice of the dress is a corset that leaves completely open shoulders, then it’s better to do without bows, as they will distract attention from the neckline area.

If a short girl chose a princess-cut dress, then she should complement the outfit with a red belt 6-7 cm wide. At the same time, the belt should be placed just above the waist line (the lower edge of the belt should coincide with the cut line of the skirt). This technique will visually elongate the silhouette, and the bride will appear taller and slimmer.

Empire style

For a dress with a very high waistline, a red belt in the form of a narrow satin ribbon is suitable. It can simply fit the figure or have long ends that fall onto the skirt. Bows are not used with this style of dress; it is better to pin the ends of the belt with a beautiful brooch with shining crystals.

Mermaid cut

Today, mermaid cut dresses are very popular. In style, they resemble a sheath dress, but have an addition in the form of a flared or full skirt. The skirt is sewn along the mid-thigh line or along the knee line.

Such wedding dresses with a red ribbon at the waist look charming; this bright accessory allows you to highlight your thin waist. If the bride does not want to focus on the waist, then she can place a bright belt on the hip line. This option is suitable for slender girls, especially if their figure resembles an inverted triangle in silhouette.

Another option for placing a belt is along the cut line of a flared skirt. Such a belt will look impressive if the cutting line is curly. The ends of such a belt can fall along the hem, creating a train effect.

A-line cut

An A-line dress can be complemented with a red belt. It is recommended to select a belt based on contrasting textures. If the outfit is made of matte silk, then the best addition will be a satin belt.

If the outfit is made of shiny material, then it is advisable to choose a belt made of velvet or lace. The belt can be tied with a bow or pinned with a large brooch.

Short models

A short dress can also be complemented with a red belt. This accessory will highlight your slender legs and beautiful physique.

The belt, as in the case of a long dress, can simply fit around the waist, or have long ends. In the latter case, the ends of the belt can correspond to the length of the skirt, but in no case protrude beyond the hem.

Belt for a dress with curvy short skirts can be decorated with a bow or flower, but this option looks good only on young brides.

Accessories

A red belt should not be the only bright accessory in your look. It is worth maintaining its color in other details. So, if the dress is short, then the shoes can be red.

You can support the color of the belt with a large brooch of a similar shade., placing the decoration in the neckline or on the shoulder. The last option is good for a dress with an asymmetrical neckline and one strap.

An elegant solution is to use the color of the belt in decoration. For example, you can decorate the bodice of a dress or veil with red embroidery. If you choose a belt with a bow, then you should choose a short veil so that it does not cover the belt.

You can complement the look with elegant seals or mittens that match the color of the belt. It would be good if the gloves and belt had a similar decor.

When choosing a bouquet, make sure that it includes red flowers, but yellow or orange flowers should be avoided. Red flowers can be used not only in a bouquet, but also to decorate your hair.
