You would be forgiven for thinking that sashes were typically worn by royalty and the military and worn over the shoulder. However, a sash can be defined as a long strip or loop of cloth worn over one shoulder or round the waist, especially as part of a uniform or official dress.
A sash can draw the eye to the waist, always the best way to make the most of your figure. And who doesn't want to look their slimmest on their wedding day? We have over 100 sashes to choose from so here are a few things to consider.

Something blue
Still not managed to get your hands on your something blue? We have a large selection of blue sashes to choose from. Now to decide if you'd prefer Williamsburg blue, powder blue, French blue, lagoon blue… the list goes on.
Tie-ing the knot
We suggest tying our sashes in beautiful bows at the back of the dress with the tails draping down the back of your dress for added wow-factor.

Bridal Parties
Perhaps your bridesmaids have opted for dresses or varying colours or styles, our sashes can be a great addition to inject colour and unify the bridal party. Perhaps the mother-of-the-bride or groom may want to demonstrate their involvement in the wedding party too.

Not forgetting
If you select a sash in vintage rose, midnight blue or oyster, you can even tick off the groom's and usher's ties to colour-coordinate! Shop our tie range.
Not just for the waist!
Why not double up on your sash order and add it to your bridal bouquet? It's a pretty way to inject a little bit of colour into your wedding, or to accentuate your existing colour scheme. Some bouquet's we've seen even use the ribbon to tie in the lockets of loved ones so they'll be with present during your walk to the alter. Here's some of our favourites.

What's more, our sashes aren't just for the big day, they can be re-worn on many occasions or maybe it'll be stored ready for to be passed down for a loved one's special day. You can even upcycle your sash in to a beautiful headband or choker necklace.
