    I finally did it. As you might remember, it was a hard time for me, finding the right dress. I tried on approx. 50 dresses and never had that THIS IS THE DRESS feeling.

    There where only three dresses I could imagine to marry in them.
    And the more I looked at MY dress, the more I knew I loved it.

    And so I decided for ot and I am so happy with it. The ATELIER DIAGONAL ORION (which is part of Pronovias).

    Here she is (please ignore the radiator on the pics Embarassed):

    This is the sash that comes with my dress, but..........

    ....I tied it with different sashes/belts, I found at home.

    I think I will go and buy a romantic ivory sash with flowers on it.

    The beautiful lace top:

    The back with beautiful lace details and tulle skirt:

    I am so happy, I finally did it. Now I am think about altering it to sweetheart neckline and maybe have some removeable straps of lace.I will talk to me seamstess, what she thinks about it.

    Happy ALAWI from Vienna

    Thanks a lot. Now I am looking for a nice flower sash in the style of Enzoani or Vera Wang.

    Maybe like this one form VW:

    I also love this one:

    Or this Enzoani-sash:

    Do you think this might be too much?

     
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    I think the skinnier sash compliments your dress.  The detail is beautiful, you don't want to have too much going on.  I love the first 2 sashes you posted!!!

    I like the second sash, the one with the ivory rosettes. I also think a horsehair sash (the last Vera Wang) would look nice too, or a jewelled sash.

    Congratulations on your dress, it's beautiful!

    @ALAWI:  Congratulations on saying "yes" to the dress, it is beautiful and looks gorgeous on you! I would probably go with an ivory sash with the flowers and keep the sash thinner like PP stated. Cool

    I am loving the two vera sashes with flowers, and think either of those would look fantastic with your dress! :D

    Congratulations on saying "YES" to your dress! It's beautiful!

    I voted for the white Vera Wang with flowers.  Your gown has a LOT of beautiful detailing, so I would choose a tone-on-tone sash to go with it instead of a contrasting sash.

    I like the original sash! All the other ones your posted are distracting.
