Just like a pair of statement earrings or a timeless clutch, a wedding sash can pull your entire bridal look together. This tried-and-true accessory comes in a wide range of colors, fabrics, and patterns and works with virtually any type of wedding dress. Plus, if you're looking to add some sparkle or a pop of color to your wedding day look, a sash is an incredibly easy–and budget-friendly–way to dress up a clean and simple gown.
Another perk to donning a wedding sash? They're completely removable, meaning you can create two distinctly different looks with just one accessory. We love the idea of brides wearing a statement-making sash for the ceremony and then removing it for the reception (for a more pared-back look). No matter your style, there are scores of stunning sashes out there to complement all wedding dresses.

What to Look For in a Wedding Sash
If you're thinking about wearing a wedding sash, it's important to find one that not only reflects your personal style but also complements your wedding gown. For brides looking to match their sash to the color of their wedding dress, it's best to shop by hue and always try sashes on with your wedding gown. The 2 Inch Satin Ribbon from David's Bridal is a lovely choice that comes in over 20 colors ranging from white to silver to ivory. On the other hand, you can add some drama to your wedding-day look with an oversized contrasting black sash, like the Madeleine Fig Catrine Bow Sash.
Sashes also come in multiple widths, from thin and delicate to wide and dramatic. Finding a width that works best for you will depend on the silhouette of your wedding dress and whether you're looking for a subtle or statement-making piece.
Beyond that, there are ribbon sashes with bows and belt-style sashes featuring crystals, pearls, flowers, and other embellishments. For instance, the Brides & Hairpins Calista Sash is encrusted with delicate Swarovski crystals to add a hint of glitz to your bridal look.
