need sash advice!

Hi Everyone!

I just picked up my dress on Monday, and who knew finding a sash would be harder than the dress!

My wedding colors are spring green, reddish purple and charcoal/pewter. The bridesmaids will be wearing these J.Crew dresses in "spiced wine":http://www.jcrew.com/browse/popup_single_product_detail.jsp?jproduct=49388&imgSrc=http://s7.jcrew.com/is/image/jcrew/49388_PR5941?$pdp_fs418$&isFeatureColor=true

My dress is super simple so I've been eyeing this sash: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75483544/bridal-sash-pearls-and-crystals-flower?ref=usr_faveitems

Which I was thinking about getting in this color: https://ny-image1.etsy.com/005/0/11763450/icm_fullxfull.22099697_mtvz94c8un4ggssw0wck.jpg.

And while we're at it, this is my dress: http://www.ellabridals.com/dress-5571.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on having a sash that doesn't not match the BMs. I definitely don't want to do purple, but would it look better if I did the sash in ivory or found something with crystals all the way around? If I did do the pewter sash I'd match my shoes and the BMs and my fiance would probably wear a pewter tie or something too.

I've been looking for pics of brides with different colored sashes from the BMs but can't find any:-(

Honestly, I hate colored sashes.  I would either get the sash you linked in ivory or find a sash that is beaded all the way around.

Colored sashes tend to "cut" a bride in half and kind of distract the eye from the rest of the dress.

Oh and I like beaded part of the sash in the second link better then the first, it just seems like it would go better with your dress.

Is the sash on your dress detachable, it looks like its attached to the gown. If not, I like the first sash you posted, I would keep it in a shade close to your dress color.

<div>Thanks! It is sewn in but I'm going to have it removed and replaced with a new sash when I have it altered.</div>

<div>All good points! I was attracted to the pewter because my dress is so simple I thought it added a fun pop, but maybe it is too distracting.</div>
