wedding guest fashion question :)

lidianonn

Hi! I’m going to a wedding held at Loyola’s Cuneo Mansion and I found the perfect dress (navy blue) that makes me feel great! I think I want to wear one of my favorite pair of moonstone earrings (has blue undertones). I also found nude platform pumps to wear to so I don’t have to hem the dress. Trouble is the evening clutch. I ADORE my koi purse and was hoping it would coordinate well with the dress and jewelry. I typically match all the time because I’m not fashion savvy enough to be creative. Please let me know if all this would work! If not, your thoughts on what would look best. I want to look great for the hubby. And I won’t compete with the wedding party, they’re all in pinks and burgundy.

    Eyes will be on the bride, not your purse. Use it if you love it. Or keep your eyes open for a different one before the wedding, but I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Beautiful dress and love the earrings and shoes! You will look fabulous. Not a fan of the purse, it’s just a bit to lighthearted for the dress.

    Nice purse, but I would prefer a fabric/silk purse for summer. What I have found is that once you’re older no one cares what you wear and your purse will be on table or chair most of the evening anyway. Pretty ensemble regardless.

    The purse is really cute, but agree it’s a little too whimsical for the occasion. The dress, earrings, and shoes will look lovely together as will you in them as a wedding guest.

    Great earrings!! Beautiful!! I prefer dark shoes but personal choice. I give hubby my cell phone and a lipstick and gloss and make sure I give him a couple $5s in case I need tip for restroom staff etc. Dress is stunning and I love navy blue for weddings. I think you have great eye.

    @Flo Mangan ha! You’re lucky, my hubby gives me his items to put in my purse. There’s no way I’d get my phone in the koi purse which may negate its travel to the wedding but it’s an old Judith Leiber and I love it. Thank you for for your kind words.

    @csoper hey thanks! I really love that minauderie but maybe I’ll save it for a date night.

    Perfect handbag.

    The Ranndi Sparkle Clutch is probably a perfect complement for the dress but I gotta say I love the whimsical handbag. It just says, "so I dressed up for this occasion but I didn't leave my sense of humor and fun at home!" I think if it were me, I'd probably buy the bag from Macy's and then try both bags with the dress. One will be the sure winner. 🥇👛

    @jayapple you’re the best!

    Don't buy the Macy's bag until closer to the wedding. You MIGHT want to return it (wink, wink) and you don't want the return window to have expired.

    Thank you Home Interiors. I was initially thinking of a nude clutch but wasn’t sure. I don’t like a lot of contract, I do prefer different textures. The koi purchase was my fun contrast piece. But I might reconsider a nude clutch!

    I’m a clothing designer and I love all your choices. The navy dress is sophisticated and a little bit sexy with the exposed shoulder, and summery when paired with the nude shoe. I think the Koi clutch would be a great conversation starter especially with other guests you’re meeting for the first time. Perhaps a solid gold color cuff bracelet for a little gleam on your wrist when you toast the bride and groom?

    @Kathy Furt congratulations on your daughters engagement! May you recover quickly and fully from your event! I think navy is a great color and I’m sure you’ll be a beautiful (and proud) MOTB! And you might even want to look at those cute ballerina slippers as shoes so your comfortable since it will be a long day for you. No one will be looking at your feet, just your smile ☺️
