I have a bag similar to the one @deb922 linked, and I love it. If you want something similar but much less expensive, check out Vera Bradley.

It is very pretty! Bejeweled doesn’t speak me and I also will want something that I can wear on me rather than carry. But I’m sure many MOB’s would totally want this bag!

Consider stopping by your thrift store. Or Marshall’s etc - lots of choices

Wonder how fast KS ships - without doing the 2 day $20 shipping which I could do…

I like the floral as well!

Or you can do a wristlet (as I did)! Like this one:

I too like crossbodies and debated if I wanted to have mine with me but in the end decided to leave my WOC in the truck. It was a good decision for me because I would have had to take it on and off all the time for dancing, photos, etc.

If your sandals are coral/pink, I would be hesitant to go with pink. I would try to stay with the same color. With all the hundreds of nail polish at the salons, it should be fairly easy.

So you’re saying match the shoe with the polish, correct?

You could take the shoes with you to the nail salon and try a few colors. I’m not a regular manicure/pedicure person but it felt good to have professional nails.
I found having a nicer tote more useful. I was able to put my phone, lip balm in a smaller pouch. I put pouch and my pashmina wrap and my extra shoes in the tote. At one wedding I kept it under my chair for the ceremony and moved it for the reception. Another wedding the wedding planner kept it safe between the ceremony and reception and during the photos.
I have a jeweled small bag that was given to me 40 years ago by an elderly neighbor of my grandmother-in-law. It had belonged to his wife. Whenever I use it I think of him.

I ordered the floral Kate Spade! I love it and it’s very me. I’ll def use it again. I did love the green but I think the black floral will be more versatile in the future.

And I’ll plan to largely match the polish to my shoes. THANKS all!

This will solve the dilemma.

As for purses, I bought a blingy navy clutch for our son’s wedding but never used it because the wedding was in the hotel, so I figured if I needed any touching up, I’d just run up to the room.


Another thing I’ll never use. Sigh.

Really, all I needed was (an entire box of) tissue. The bride thoughtfully put one under my chair.

Our coordinator was giving tissues out when we were lining up just prior to the ceremony. My husband said he did not need any, but the coordinator insisted. She was right! My husband thanked her afterwards. :slight_smile: Your DIL is very thoughtful.

I was debating whether to purchase some of these for the welcome table

We are not really into all the themed stuff but I sort of liked these - 3 tissues in each package

I would, or I think it will be distracting.
