Dressing the Sis: The Sash Solution

I honestly have no idea how this idea came up during our meeting with the florist. I don’t remember mentioning adding a sash to my sister’s dress, or the fact that it was going to have some sort of floral detail. Perhaps when we were discussing bridesmaids’ bouquets it somehow got thrown in the mix. I’m not familiar with “bridal amnesia”, but if it’s a thing, I clearly have a mild case.

However, at some point during our meeting with our florist, it was decided that she would create a sash with a fresh floral detail for my sister’s bridesmaid dress. I loved this idea because it would then be guaranteed to coordinate with her bouquet, and not be too “busy”.

I think it will ultimately look the most like the first photo, though I wanted to throw in the other ones for your viewing pleasure.

Did you consider using fresh flowers as an accessory?

I’m pretty sure bridal amnesia is directly related to bride brain…just saying.

haha, that last picture is flower crazy! i hadn’t thought of using fresh flowers on a sash, but it seems like a good idea, especially since it’ll already match and doesn’t involve any hot glue!
