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.

Stand out

Looking to inject some colour in to your traditional wedding gown? We have an extensive range of coloured sashes in satin, lace and velvets. From traditional reds and blush pinks to mandarin and moss green, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Add a touch of elegance

Looking to customise and add a touch of elegance to your gown? Our diamante sash is beautifully made using a mix of diamantes, pearls, beads and sequins, sure to make your dress shine. Maybe our art deco sash is more to your style, achieve vintage glamour as waves of crystals and beads intertwine in elegant symmetry to create a stunning, sparkling effect.

Better yet, combine colour and sparkle with our Aurelia Vintage sash.

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.
