Decisions, Decisions

November 20th, 2008 @ 9:27 am by Mrs. Lemonade

While I’ll be the first to admit a bridal clutch falls pretty low on the list of priorities, I’ll also be the first to admit that I have a bit of a bag addiction.

When I moved into my current home, I had a shelf installed to run the entire perimeter of my room to house my collection. Suffice it to say I will be adding to said collection a special little bag to commemorate W day. I still can’t decide between a light ivory and or/gold combo (perhaps with a blue lining…) or a darker blue one.

That’s where you come in. Can you help me decide?

Which would you choose? Have something even better in mind? Let me know!

Oh boy…drooling on my laptop. I like 2, 3, 4, and 5. Haha not much help. But I mean, really, why have an ordinary clutch on such an extraordinary day? Go for something bold! Plus, it will make for some great pics :)

all of those clutches are adorable. I like #1 and #3. But #4 and #5, you can wear even after the wedding!

DEFINITELY #1! It’s so elegant, and you could totally use it after the wedding. Plus, I love me some J.Crew!

So many good choices? Do you want to go with the monochrome theme or do you want a splash of color? 3, 4, and 5 are my favorites…

Oh - how could you choose? :) Maybe you should have an entire section of the wall devoted to wedding clutches that you sampled. :) If it were me, I’d probably pick #1 - it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn.

I’ve gotta say, I like the first one best, but I’ve also gotta say that I didn’t even end up USING mine because by the time we went to the chapel my mom had gone to greet the guests, so no one could carry it…so it just stayed in the bridal suite all night! Haha. Good thing I didn’t buy one specially.

I like #3! It will give you a little pop of color. And maybe you can take off the flower and replace it with a broach.

I like 1 and 4, both elegant and bridally but both could be used again for a nice night out. I think the blue ones are pretty but will be too distracting from your dress.

I like the 3rd- blue with the flower.

if it helps, I actually ordered that first clutch from J.Crew. even though I thought the price was ridiculous, I just had to have it! but I actually returned it and chose a $16 similiar looking clutch from Target instead! when I put the two together and showed my friends, everyone thought the Target was the nicer, more expensive one! and since it probably won’t get much use, I thought I’d rather splurge on something else, like shoes :)

I also bought my wedding clutch at Target! $12.99! And I’ve used it multiple times since! Definitely the way to go if you’re on a budget….

I love the first one! (and I may snap up #4 for myself…) To be honest, though, the reception goes so quickly and you’re so busy that you’ll forget you even have a purse. I forgot all about my wrap (that I told myself I had to have in case it was chilly).

I used my clutch throughout our reception. I kept my hankie, oil blotting sheets, lip gloss, powder, etc. I’ve used it several times since our May wedding.

I didn’t buy a clutch to go with my dress, because it seemed like such an unnecessary expense. But I really wish that I had! One of our favorite photos from our wedding is a shot of us walking in the door of the site… and front and center is my big, RED everyday purse… sigh. Not the end of the world, but I sure wish that I would have bought something subtle.

It’s hard to say without seeing your dress, but i think the fourth, with the pearls on the latch is my favorite.
