You’ve probably forgotten how to dress for a wedding. We recommend making a checklist, to ensure that all bases are covered and no key elements are overlooked. Wedding guest bags are the quiet hero of your ceremony outfit: the right purse can become the pièce de résistance of a look. The dress – or shorts suit – you choose is important, but a sprightly bag can add just the right finishing touch.
