Planning a wedding is a stressful, overwhelming task. There are so many details to take care of to ensure that everything looks right. In addition to looking good yourself you want to make sure your bridesmaids look beautiful. A well picked sash can enhance a dress and make everyone look their slimmest and most flattering. Here are some tips to select the perfect sash.
Instructions
Examine the Dress
1. Examine the bridesmaid dress you have selected. You're looking at the color, shape and fabric. What color is the dress? Do you have more than one color in your wedding? If you do, incorporate one or both of those colors in the sash. You can also use either black or white. One of the two will look good with every color. What is a truly beautiful pairing is a black dress featuring a sash in one of the wedding colors.
2. Think about the shape. How wide is the waist of the dress? Is it a straight dress? An A-line dress? An empire waist? A straight dress can accommodate any width of sash as it has no true defined waistline. An A-line dress requires a thinner sash. An empire waist can look great with a very thin, ribbon-like sash or a wide satin type of sash.
3. Examine the fabric. If the dress is lace, a satin sash will look stunning since it will make the sash stand out and dress up the lace even more. If the dress is satin, you can use a satin sash for a more formal look or use a wired chiffon sash for a slightly more informal look.
4. Shopping for sashes: When you go out to shop for the sashes, or the fabric for them (if you are having them made), keep an open mind. You might find a great ribbon that works better than the satin sash that you'd imagined. You also might discover that a color you hadn't considered looks amazing with the dress.
