Friday Freebie: LuxeLucy Belts!

As we mentioned yesterday, we're big fans of taking a bit of a fashion risk when it comes to accessorizing your wedding day look. Well, with today's Friday Freebie, you [or your best gals] will be walking down the aisle in style, wearing stunningly stylish ribbon belts by LuxeLucy!

The winner of this Friday Freebie will receive her choice of one bridal belt or four bridal party belts [for 'maids or flowergirls] in the design of her choice!

LuxeLucy belts are the perfect combination of modern and classic, incorporating feminine details into an incredibly chic accessory. Depending on the color you choose, these pretty sashes can blend into a gown [adding a subtle romantic touch], or stand out as a crisp accentuation that will emphasize the waistline while adding an element of fun and surprise! And the best part is the fact that they're detachable-- so you can choose whether to wear the belt all day, or just add it for the reception to totally change up your look.

To enter to win this fabulous prize, simply leave a comment below letting us know the wedding accessory you're most excited to donn on the big day! Best of luck, lovely readers!
