I was immediately drawn to D! The pink braided sash with the accents intertwined makes for a beautiful and modern affect. Any bride would look gorgeous with this detail! It looks like you could wear it in a bunch of different ways! In your hair would be another great possibility! I love the tone of the pink as well! Would look perfect with our colors!!
I love “B” the Starburst. I simply adore big floral statement pieces. On headbands. As broaches. I just love this style. And nothing would be more me on our special day than walking down the aisle in an equally charming, attention grabbing accessory. Adore!
I simply adore “B” the Starburst. I love it because it looks like a flower, and floral accents are some of my very favorite accessories. On headbands, hair clips, belts and brooches–I just LOVE big, floral statement pieces. And I couldn’t think of any other type of accessory being more me on my day. Adore!
could we vote on the hottest shoes instead ;) the pinkish sparkly ones would be great for my rehearsal dinner!!!
I am in L-O-V-E with the velveteen rabbit sash!! The color is perfect–and one of my wedding colors!! It has been really hard to find how to incorporate the right shade of blue/green into wedding party attire (still looking for the right frock for my maids). This sash would look so pretty in the fall with my off-white gown! And its something blue… :)
Oh, that is hard to pick, but I have to say the Starburst! So very fun!
I am absolutely drawn to the Starburst (B) sash. The dark color accent on top of a white dress is such a great contrast that shows off the waist line! Not only do I love the color, but the flower burst accent on the sash gives it a real pop that can make any wedding dress unique to the bride. I would be proud to wear this sash on my big day!
I like the icicle the best. :)
I adore the Starburst! It’s just he right amount of color and drama.
i love the velveteen rabbit sash! it reminds me of greece or mermaids.
It’s hard to choose, but I love the Velveteen Rabbit because it’s in my wedding colors! :)
Totally torn…love the Velveteen Rabbit AND the Starburst. Do I have to chose just one?
The starburst is my favorite… The contrast with the dress is great and the flower adds a fun, whimsical touch to balance the look.
It was definitely hard to choose. If I were getting married in the winter the icicle would be a must!
I love velveteen rabbit! It’s a small touch of blue to add to the gown and I like the subtle sparkles infused in it! Lots of different textures!
I LOVE the symbolism of the Tying the Knot sash. Intertwining love made so beautiful by an intertwining sash that you could wear for years to come and in so many ways. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Starburst – it is beautiful on the dress and would be a wonderful detail to incorporate into other aspects of the wedding. The brown would work for any season and the whimsy of the flower adds feminine flair.
My wedding is May 21st and I have yet to find the perfect “something blue.” I would absolutely love love love it if the velveteen rabbit was it!
I love the glamour of the icicle sash! (D) I am wearing a wedding gown without any sequins or beading, so it would be the perfect accessory for some sparkle!
I love the icicle sash because not only will this look beautiful with a wedding dress but it could be used with other outfits as well and it would look so cute in the winter.
LOVE the Starburst. I love big flowers on things, and the contrast of the dark color on the white is stunning!
I love love love B) The Starburst!
I like B. I think it’s pretty! The flower makes it very bride appropriate and it accents the waist nicely.
Style A would match my color scheme wonderfully!
Hi all! I think the clear winner is the Velveteen Rabbit! That perfect aqua/robin’s egg color has always been a favorite of mine, and the velvet fabric and delicate design really fits well with the I&A aesthetic. I would adore receiving this! I would wear it with my I&A dress “loving thoughts” for the rehearsal dinner!
Definitely the Starburst! It is feminine and elegant with just the right touch of simplicity…would be perfect for “something new” to wear on my wedding day:)
I’m definitely a Velveteen Rabbit! I love the lush velvet and the pretty pearl details.. just gorgeous!
Oh I absolutely love the “icicle” on this bride. It is so feminine and sparkly! This adds a great detail to the dress without making it too busy. The icicle looks so delicate with all the beautiful beads on it, this is the perfect sash! (especially for a Winter wedding!)
I love the starburst sash. So many people do not think black is appropriate for a wedding day but I think it can really add a splash of color and look very elegant. The starburst sash reminds me of something Audrey Hepburn would wear in My Fair Lady. Pair it with a updo or a hairpiece and you would look so elegant. I would love to wear this on my wedding day and hope to goodness I win.
I’ve been looking for a delicate sash for my dress and Velveteen Rabbit couldn’t be anymore perfect in more ways than one. Margery Williams’ Velveteen Rabbit holds a special place in my heart. It’s the first childhood story I remember my grandmother reading and it became a part of our bedtime story routine. Wearing that sash would be a beautiful reminder and a wonderful way of honoring her on our wedding day.
What a gorgeous giveaway! I adore the Velveteen Rabbit – I’m hoping to get a non-white, knee length dress, and it would be great to have such a pretty belt to dress it up for the wedding! My fingers are crossed.
I love the Velveteen Rabbit sash! It matches my bridesmaids dresses perfectly…I have been on the hunt for something just like this for ages!

The starburst is my favorite. I’ve been looking for a black sash to go with the dress I have yet to buy. =) Hopefully, tomorrow will be the day.
C) the icicle is definitely my favorite! It would be great to wear for a winter wedding. Add some snow, champagne and wonderful family and friends and you have a beautiful bride with a beautiful sash to add on to a gorgeous dress! What a beautiful and amazing day that would be!
I’m in love with The Icicle! I can just imagine it for a winter wedding! GORGEOUS!
B!
My favorite is B) The Starburst. The flower is just so whispy and pretty. I love it! I plan on wearing a flower similar to this in my hair on my wedding day, so I think that if I had this sash it would go great with the whole ensemble!
D) I love it! Simple and modern but still has a bit of an organic feel.
The velveteen rabbit! I love that it’s thin, but has texture and a little bit of bling. I would compliment almost any color wedding gown. :)
Definitely C, love the icicle! The cream color is simply pretty.
I thought it was obvious…the icicle! All are amazing but that one made my jaw hit my desk. Stunning!
I really like “tying the knot”! It would fit my rustic, outdoor themed wedding. I also think it would symbolize my bond with my fiance’- strong, tight, and able to uphold anything.
I just love the starburst! it looks like it will make any dress just a little more flattering. i’m only dress shopping in a few months, but i’m sure i could find one that would love having this added to it!
I absolutely love the velveteen rabbit!!! It just matches everything we’re planning into our wedding here in Sweden so well! The colors, the slightly vintage look to it, the coziness of the velvet. I’ve been trying to find velvet ribbon in that color for my bouquet. And the little flowers are so sweet! It looks a bit like lilly of the valley is embroidered in which is one of my favorite flowers and obviously one we’ll be using a lot throughout the wedding. I’ve ordered a beautiful dress from Sarah Seven but have been looking for a sweet little sash like this to give it a little something special. Great job Ivy and Aster!
I really like the ‘velveteen rabbit’ sash. It’s a great way to incorporate your “something blue” into your dress!
My favorite is B, the starburst!
I love how it has a vintage look & would look amazing with the dress i have picked out!!!
the starburst sash would look perfect with the nicole miller wedding gown i purchased yesterday.
That velveteen rabbit sash has the best name AND design!!! Love love love.
I LOVE the starburst! It’s modern, yet feminine. But they’re all gorgeous!
The C – icicle! It has the right amount of sparkle and winter “look” to it! It would go along perfectly with my winter wonderland theme! I would feel so unique wearing the gorgeous sash!
i love the tying the knot stunning colors and would look awesome on any dress
Considering that my wedding colors are black, white, and blush, tying the knot is the only sash for me. It’s delicate and intricate and down right lovely.
I love option B, tying the knot, as it’s very symbolic and super sweet in those colors!
I love C, so much pretty in one band — without being “too much”
Definitely without a doubt I would pick the starburst sash. It would go so well with my ivy and aster dress! I wanted to get it but was going to see if I had room in my budget to do so. But winning it would definitely solve that problem. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
I love the ‘tying the knot’ sash. So simple, sweet and pretty!
I love both velveteen rabbit and the starburst.. the velveteen rabbit would be the best thing for a something blue to add to your wedding day but the starburst would be better being from Charleston & having a Charleston wedding it reminds me of a magnolia flower which would be great also to add to my wedding to incorporate that southern charm…I go with the starburst!
The starburst gets my vote! It’s such a fun and elegant piece!
[…] light of all the fashion goodness that has abounded on the blog lately (here, here, and here, most recently!), I figured a stylish Southern Spotting would be right up our alley! […]
I like the velveteen rabbit because it adds just a hint of color and texture to the dress. It doesn’t detract from the traditional bridal look, but rather accentuates the waist and the dress as a whole.
Love it!
I love the starburst! It’s soft like a fairytale but also fun and funky…. adds a little pizazzz
