Which sash is better for this dress?

I totally agree with Kristen and Sexypoodle.

Think of the wide lens view of head to toe. Coming down the isle. Where do you want peoples eye's drawn to? The bling may be better for the reception?

Another initial thought when looking through your pics is that you already have the hard horizontal line at the ankle. Adding one at the waist can make one look chopping and short. Whereas the satin sash picks up the matte and shiny of your dress, complimenting it, letting the eye flow the full length of the front view.

I also liked how one bride suggested you wear both during the day--can for pictures too. You may even change your mind as you head for the isle!

It is ultimately your choice and you can not make a wrong choice. ;o)

Your dress is beautiful btw--congratulations!

The first one!!
