So, you’ve chosen the perfect sash to complement your wedding dress. Now, it’s time to tie it in the most beautiful and secure way possible. Whether you’re going for a classic knot or an elegant bow, we’ve got you covered with our step-by-step guide. Basic Knot Tying Techniques The basic knot is the foundation for many sash-tying techniques. You can tie it at the front, side or back of your waist, depending on your preference. Take both ends of the sash and cross them over each other at your waist. Take one end and pass it underneath the other end. Pull both ends tightly to create a simple knot. Adjust the placement of the knot until you achieve your desired look. This technique works well with ribbon and satin sashes, but keep in mind that it may not be suitable for heavier embellished or beaded sashes as they require more support.   Bow Tying Techniques A bow adds a touch of elegance and femininity to any bridal look, and there are several ways to tie one depending on your preferred style. The Classic Bow: Start by placing the center of the sash on your back. Cross both ends around your waist to create an X shape at your front. Bring one end up over the X shape and tuck it through the loop created between itself and the other end. Tighten both ends until you achieve a snug fit around your waist. Take each end individually and tie them into a single knot by pulling them through each other twice. Fluff out each side of the bow until they’re symmetrical.   The Side Bow: Place the center of the sash at one side of your waist.  Cross both ends around your waist to create an X shape on your opposite side. Tuck one end through the loop created by the X shape and pull it through to create a small knot. Take each end individually and tie them into a single knot by pulling them through each other twice. Fluff out each side of the bow until they’re symmetrical.   Remember that practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to try out different bow styles until you find the one that perfectly complements your dress.
