Already wondering how to write a college application essay? Wow, time flies. Your first day of Freshman year probably felt like a lifetime ago. And now, you’re writing an application essay and finally moving on to the next incredible phase of your life: College. 

On behalf of everyone at The Sash Company, we want to wish you the absolute best of luck in your next chapter. And we wish you even more luck to get through the final stretch of high school. 

First, on behalf of everyone at The Sash Company, we would like to formally congratulate you on this achievement. What an incredible milestone this marks in your life. And you did it. You graduated!

We’ve created custom graduation stoles and cords for over 20 years, and we have had the privilege of knowing that our cords have been with millions of students as they finally graduate.

We’ve all been there. It’s the end of an era, you’re surrounded by friends and family, you’re brimming with great memories, and the always famous Graduation Song by Vitamin C is playing: “As we goooo onnnnn, we reeeememberrrrr”. Parents are crying and taking way too many pictures that they’ll send to your entire family, you’re laughing and hugging your friends… you’re nervous, you’re excited, you’re graduating.

If you’re curious, you’ve probably wondered why we all follow these specific graduation traditions at high school and college ceremonies. What’s the meaning behind tassels and gowns, honor cords, commencement addresses, graduation sashes, and tossing your cap in the air… why are we all following these specific graduation traditions?

For over 20 years, The Sash Company has partnered with the most prestigious beauty pageants in the United States. Miss USA and more recently, Miss Universe. Our mission has always been to create high-quality, one-of-a-kind custom sashes using only the finest materials and threads.

For the past few months, we have focused our efforts on meeting a new challenge. The challenge of creating a product that is environmentally friendly and made with superior fabrics and textiles.

The hard part is done. You met the one, they proposed, the rest should be easy peasy! Not so fast. That wedding planning is already a little stressful and it’s supposed to be about you having fun and declaring your love… Well if the wedding is always a little stressful, the bachelorette party is here to balance it out.

Bachelorette parties used to be a night out on the town with the ladies but there’s a lot more to it these days. Destination bachelorette parties, weekend trips, girls flying in from other parts of the map… how can you keep track of it all?

Your makeup is on, your hair is touched just right, your pageant sash is a perfect fit and your smile is on point. Even your tan is the very definition of sunkissed… you’re ready to hit that stage so hard it's left in a daze. Now comes the question-and-answer segment of the pageant.

This is your moment. Visualize and own it.

Ok, so the big day has passed and you’re not sure what to do with your wedding dress. First, we would like to officially congratulate you on your wedding and marriage, and from everyone at The Sash Company, we genuinely wish you a happy and love-filled life.

Now that the wedding is done, and the buzz is slowing down, you can take this time to reorganize things a little. After all, you’ve spent so much time planning for this day., especially in the few weeks preceding, and now you probably have a bit of clutter to take care of.  

You’re engaged and it’s time to pick the wedding dress. You’re about to see just how much 80s style is back with full force. And this is where the fun really begins. Trips to the bridal store with the ladies, mimosas, and lots of boards on Pinterest. Of course, the first thing you need to think about is style. But what are the latest wedding dress trends and what exactly is a wedding belt or sash?
