Wedding What are you doing for wedding handbags? And I need a gift suggestion!

[violet02]

I''ve been scouring the web and magazines for all kinds of cute purses that aren''t an arm and a leg and found this site via In Style weddings. Love it!

My maids and I are thinking of doing the Be Baubled wedding bag (maybe with a fuschia ribbon instead of the black) for me and some fuschia silk cherub bags wth black accents or some other interesting mixture like that for them. The Fit to be tied purses are lovely as well for myself maybe.

Anyone else stumble across this site and what do you think of them?

I originally was hunting around for a pearl and crystal studded pouch which would be very blingy but cost more than three purses from this site probably. I also thought it might be a nice additional gift for my maids....

So far they have Kenneth Jay Lang flower rings, monogrammed handkerchiefs and now maybe a clutch. All of the bridal party got monogrammed hankies in their colors, including our parents and my grandma. Now what do I get my Man of Honor? Cuff links? I thought they may be nice but he doesn''t really wear cuff links much so I''m not sure how useful that would be for him, any suggetions? Something wearable at the wedding like the ladies rings would be nice. Maybe I''ll just spring for nice cuff links and he can keep them to use someday in the future as a memento....

Hi Violet,
Not sure how to help you with the GM prez, ours actually wanted flasks, so we did the engraved ones. Eh, not very original, but handy for tailgating. I was also looking around online for a clutch when my mom asked if I wanted to use the bag that she and my grandmother had used. Of course I jumped at that offer. Perhaps there is already something in the family that you can use?

Violet those purses are SO CUTE. Have you ever heard of 1154 Lill studio? They do custom handbags in your choice of colors/fabric and they are comparable in price (maybe even a little cheaper). Click here and check it out!

Those bags are very cute, I like how you can custom make them! I''m browsing through it now..

I was still tihnking I may get my man of honor cufflinks but I''ll think on it some more. I need to be careful not to spend money on ''gifts'' just to give people gifts in the wedding. I want them to at least use them somewhat.

best thing I bought was the bridal tote from David''s....I was able to put full makeup, hairbrush, extra shoes, wrap in it...it is satin with rhinestones and it was under 30$.
It was also so unique...it has little blue handles.
I loved it!

Oh crap--you mean I need a handbag to go with my dress!?

Good thing I read this thread.

I LOVE 1154 Lill, so much fun to go and make your own purses!
