Belts are currently my favorite trend in bridal accessories.

A seemingly utilitarian day to day item is beautifully adapted for wedding dresses by the incorporation of couture fabrics and eye-catching ornamentation.

Here is a sampling of the styles available at Alta MODA.

Perfect on a natural waist gown or a good complement with a drop waist to draw the eye back up.

Pictured in ivory, oyster, white, silver, champagne and black .  Many shades are available, but black and champagne have been the most popular.

Featured belts are from Laura Jayne, Augusta Jones, Vera Wang, and Amy Kuschel.
