    Hi everyone!

    Wanted to get some input on three bags I am choosing between for the wedding.

    The first is an adorable blow clutch found on Etsy. You can customize the lining and add initials inside as well.  I like this one because it is classic and could possibly become an heirloom.

    The second is a ruffle clutch found on Asos.  I like this one because it is modern, neutral enough to rewear, and fun!

    The last one is a flower embellished one that can be found at Nordstrom. I think it is really unique and special. I am considering it in either the ivory or the grey. You cant see in the photo but it is quite small and has a little chain handle that you can carry it by if you dont want it to be a clutch.

    What do yall think? BTW my dress is Amsale Sofia if you are trying to envision what it would look like together. I've attached a photo below.

    Thanks so much!

    Wow this is hard. I'm kind of in love with both the bow and the flower but I think that the flower would probably hold it's shape better throughout the day.

    no offense, just curious: when do you carry this bag?  When would you ever need to carry a bag at your own wedding?  You'll already have you bouquet so will you carry it in the other hand or somehow together in the same hand so you can still hold hands with DH?  Is this "just to have", like to hold essentials?  And if so why buy a new fancy bag, just use one you own?

    @mishelleez -- Nordstrom!

    @Rgeddy -- Yes, it would be to hold my personal items at the reception. I'm afraid I don't make a habit of purchasing bags that coordinate with wedding dresses!

    @Miss Palmetto: I just thought that if this bag was just going to sit in another bag or the corner or a back room all day I wouldn't slurge or even worry about coordination.  However if I did get a cute clutch I'd make sure to keep it at the table or something so it's seen.  I like the big bow one myself!

    @Miss Palmetto: I just wanted to tell you my experience with the seller of the first bag.  I ordered it and was told I would receive it in two weeks.  After three weeks of not hearing anything back, I checked on etsy and the seller went on vacation.  I emailed her directly and she had not even started the bag.  She informed me it would be another two weeks.  I asked for a refund.  So if you go with the first bag, be cautious of the timeline.

    @des salazar: Thanks for the heads up! Was it seller "Viabella"? Just want to make sure its the same person. She has 100% approval from several hundred people...if this was her you should leave some feedback so people know to beware!

    @Miss Palmetto: Yes it was her, but because she refunded my money etsy doesn't allow feedback.  She wasn't apologetic about the situation either.  After I got my money refunded a bought a bag from Davie & Chiyo instead.  They mailed it out in three days.

    BTW-This was two weeks ago.

    @des_salazar: Gotcha...thanks again for the heads up. The Dave and Chiyo one was originally on my list too and it sounds like they are a better bet! Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks everyone for your thoughts!

    Davie & Chiyo is giving a 20% discount right now on their bags with the code PBFINGERS20.  Not sure when it expires, but maybe this will help.

    Great picks! The bow is very sweet and I love that you can customize, but I feel like the flower one in ivory would work better with your gown.
