Having clear ideas on how to choose the bag for a wedding allows you to save time and be consistent with the occasion and the chosen outfit.
Sometimes receiving an invitation to a wedding ceremony can make us feel in difficulty or worried about choosing the right dress and accessories, especially the bag.
Regardless of the outfit, the bag for a wedding must be small and rather elegant even if the party takes place in the countryside.
The essential requirements for the correct choice of bag for a wedding are:
- consistency with the season;
- in style with the outfit;
- in line with the location.
The bag must be in line with everything else, a wedding in July on a beach cannot have the same clothing or even the same accessories as a wedding in January in the mountains.
So the first things to establish are the time of year in which the wedding will take place, the location and whether it takes place during the day or in the evening. Depending on the variables, the clothing will be different and consequently also the bag.

A bag for every season
The bag for a wedding must be small, which is why the following are perfect:
- clutch bag;
-mini hand bags;
-mini bags with thin chain shoulder strap.
These bags suit most occasions, regardless of the season and the clothing you choose.
The material of the bag can be different if the wedding takes place in summer or winter, with the mid-seasons using the same materials as the following season, spring/summer and autumn/winter. Leather, on the other hand, is suitable for all seasons.
In spring/summer you can replace the leather with straw or fabric such as satin and silk. I recommend the Bamboo Bag by My Style Bags, a mini bag made of natural or colored straw in blue or orange, with a bamboo handle. The finishes of the Bamboo Bag are in leather and it is possible to customize it.
In autumn/winter you can wear suede or velvet fabric.
The suede wedding clutch bag by My Style Bags is very versatile, it is suitable for a ceremony in the countryside, as well as one in the mountains or in the city.
The three colours: dark brown, leather and green allow you to make a suitable choice for the clothing worn and the possibility of customizing them is the added value.
Opt for the mini bag with a small shoulder strap if you think you will need both hands during or at the end of the ceremony, perhaps as a bridesmaid or best friend distributing rice or confetti to the guests. Which would be cumbersome if you have a clutch bag or the handles of a small bag in your hand.

The importance of the outfit
The outfit is decisive for choosing the type of bag and its color.
A summer wedding with refreshments in a seaside location allows you to play with colors much more than a winter wedding. In the warm season, colorful and cheerful patterns are allowed which allow the bag to have one of the colors of the dress: pink, orange, light blue, green, gold.
Are you wondering if there are still strict rules about not wearing white so as not to take attention away from the bride or black because it is the color of mourning? It's no longer so categorical. But if we don't want to commit gaffes we must pay attention to these things:
- day or evening wedding;
- type of clothing;
- choice of accessories.

For a daytime wedding, it is possible to wear white, but it would be advisable to avoid tulle and lace. A white trouser suit or duster coat is more suitable. In both cases the bag in pastel colors is perfect.

Black, on the other hand, is not the best for daytime weddings, but instead becomes perfect in the evening. The more or less low-cut little black dress is an elegant and refined dress, to be combined with jeweled bags, gold and silver ones and even those with bright colours. In the evening, long black dresses are also permitted.
For an evening wedding, the long white dress is banned, in this case it is better to opt for a floral pattern or a colour.
The floral pattern requires that the small matching bag has one of the colors of the design or the alternative is a small black bag.
The woman who chooses the color can play with the contrasting elements between clothing and bag, such as:
- black and fuchsia;
- amaranth and peach;
- wisteria and lemon yellow;
- black and cornflower blue;
- Pantone Oil green colors with Very Peri.

You can create your look for a wedding starting from the bag, if you already have the one that seems right in your wardrobe, and choose the dress to match. Or, on the contrary, you can start from clothing to arrive at the choice of accessories. The really important thing is to create the right combinations. This will allow you to feel comfortable and be elegant and admired.
