Well everyone, I had my final fitting the other day, and I am now the happy owner of a wedding dress! A dress which is currently hanging on the back of the closet door in the guest room at my parents’ house, with the train spread out, all dramatic-like.
The wedding is three weeks away, peeps! All of the big and most of the little decisions are all made, and I am totally over making decisions, at all. Which is where you all come in.
My dress comes with a white satin sash, which flares out at the ends and has some embroidery, as well. I’ve been feeling kind of blah about the sash overall, so I’m thinking about ditching it.
Here’s a little something to jog your memory:
My dress, with sash (I’ll want it tied in a bow) and bustled.
Then, a little later at home and with my veil, no sash:
What do you all think?
I like the sash - it gives some definition to your waist. What exactly do you not like about it?
I don’t really like the sash, but that’s just my opinion.
To be quite honest I’m not 100% crazy about the sash that comes with your dress, but I do like it with a sash.
I’m sure with only 3 weeks left you have no desire to purchase anything else, but if possible I think a different sash would look great.
You could wear the dress without the sash for the ceremony and then tie on something fun for the reception.
Regardless of what you decide your dress is beautiful and you’re going to make a lovely bride. 
I normally love sashes with wedding dresses (I had one with my own), but I’m not sure you really need one with a lace dress … it seems to compete with the pattern of the lace a bit.
If you did still want a sash, I’d probably suggest a slightly thicker one.
Weren’t you getting another sash off of etsy? I think it looks good with the sash, defines your already tiny waist! Maybe you could look for a different one? I know three weeks is cutting it close, though.
I think I agree that have a sash accentuates your small waist really nicely- the dress looks great without it too, but the sash adds a nice figure-flattering bonus.
Adore the dress and love the sash. You are going to be amazingly gorgeous!! PS I love your hair in the very first pic- perfectly wavy!!
I feel like something is kind of missing without the sash… could you look for a different one?
I agree the dress looks better with a sash but the one that came with it is a not so great (I see where you’re coming from). What about a wide satin ribbon sash in an accent colour? I know you probably don’t want to do any more wedding-related errands but this feels like something you might regret later in photos if you don’t hunker down and find a replacement. The bustle buttons sticking exposed at the back just looks odd.
I think the sash accents your waist beautifully and that the dress looks a bit naked…or like its missing something…without it. I DONT think you need it for the bustle buttons at all (i missed them the first 2 times I looked at the back photo), but i love the look from the front. What about a diferent sash?? I know you dont want to make any more decisions, sorry!
PS you look gorgeous, love the birdcage veil. you are going to be one beautiful bride
First and foremost, very pretty dress–you’re going to be a beautiful bride! I agree with some of the others–I definitely like the look of the dress with a sash (it makes your waist look great and really pulls the look together), but maybe not this particular sash. I think something wider/more defined would look great!
Well hello, gorgeous!
I love the sash but if you’re blah about it, don’t wear it!
I like the sash. If anything, I’d maybe have thicker sash or a colored sash.
I love the look of a sash with the dress, but the actual sash in the photos is nothing to write home about. If you got another sash, I’d say go for it. BUT if you’re over making decisions (I’m a primary grade teacher and I know this feeling well!), you look fabulous without it! I also missed the buttons in the photo until I was really looking for them.
By the way, I LOVE that dress. The neckline is dreamy & the back is so sexy!
Yes i agree with the other posters — the dress looks good either way! But if you are thinking about a sash alternate, I think a wider one would look awesome.
Gorgeous dress! I love the lace. I don’t like that sash—too skinny for my taste. If the only reason you’re considering wearing it is to cover the buttons, then I wouldn’t worry. I barely noticed the buttons.
