4. Watters Carol Belt

If you’re looking for something a bit different to a radiant rhinestone belt, a soft floral tulle sash could be the ideal accessory. This ivory silk organza sash by Watters features beaded flowers on vanilla bean double faced satin ribbon belt. This particular belt suits a lighter look, such as a soft and simple a-line or a ruched ball gown and is ideal for a summer garden wedding. We love the idea of changing into a tea-length or short dress for the afters and adding this sash to jazz it up! Watters Brides is available from Myrtle Ivory, Dublin and The White Room in Mullingar – please contact store directly to enquire about accessories. See more here
