What the evidence label on each pick means
Plan for a phone, ID, a credit card, a key, a lipstick and a few tissues. Wedding cards and gifts go on the gift table, not in your bag. If you need more, such as a charger or flats for later, leave a tote in the car or at the coat check.
A clutch is the traditional choice, but a small evening bag on a chain is just as dressy and easier to carry all night. At a dressy casual wedding, a small crossbody is fine too; see dressy casual wedding attire.
A black clutch works with dark dresses, black tie evenings and anything worn with black shoes. If you buy one evening bag, make it this one.
Gold suits warm colors such as burgundy, emerald, rust and blush, and anything you'd wear gold jewelry with. Burgundy wedding guest dresses shows one pairing.
Silver goes with cool colors such as navy, icy blue, lilac and gray, and with silver or platinum jewelry.
Beige, nude and champagne clutches suit pastels and florals and are the quiet choice for a daytime wedding. With a very pale dress, pick a shade that won't read as white.
Tip
Black tie optional means the hosts will dress formally and you can too: wear a floor-length gown, a dressy cocktail or midi dress, or a formal jumpsuit.

For a winter wedding, wear a long-sleeve midi or floor-length dress in a fabric with some weight, then add sheer tights, a wrap and shoes that can handle a cold walk.

Dressy casual wedding attire for women means a nice midi or knee-length dress, a dressy jumpsuit, or a skirt or tailored pants with a polished top: above everyday clothes, below cocktail.
