In times past, the traditional wedding dress was white or ivory without much decoration except for a train in the back. In today’s society, wedding dresses are not always white, but there are also other shades and colors. They are also different because more and more brides decide to add ruffles to their wedding dresses by defining the waist by adding a color scheme as an accent by adding a bridal sash to their dress and sometimes to their wedding party dresses. They are doing it not to accentuate their waist, but to create their own unique sense of fashion. Today’s brides want to make sure they accessorize their wedding dress but at the same time keep their wedding dress classic yet elegant. Wearing a bridal band is one way to do this.
A bridal sash offers the bride a flexible choice of style and color to accentuate her wedding dress and bridesmaid and matron of honor dress. Some of the different styles of bridal sashes include:
• A colored satin sash: These types of sash are some of the most popular options used to create a dramatic look. Wearing a colored silky satin sash will add a delicate finish but liven up the overall look of the wedding dress. An example is having a white or ivory wedding dress that will look elegant with an earth tone satin sash that has a beautiful bow with patterned ribbons. To finish off the look, the center of the sash should have some rhinestone detail.
• A stylish back sash: This is a look that goes very well with a wedding dress that has a full skirt and train. This bridal sash can be the color of the wedding party but in a lighter shade and can help to complement the wedding dress. Bridal party dresses can have a sash made of the same material and color as the wedding dress so they complement each other.
• A Black Sash – Some may think that these types of sashes have no place in a wedding, but adding a slim black bridal sash with beaded details will help transform the look of the wedding dress. Both the style and the color are enhanced and will give the wedding dress a look of classic beauty and elegance.
When trying on your wedding dress, experiment with a bridal sash in different styles, colors, and materials so you can see which bridal sash will add elegance to your special day.
