The Small Bag Problem: What Should You Actually Carry to a Wedding?

Introduction

Wedding ceremonies start with the early morning rituals and may end only after the late reception ceremony. Therefore, the bag that you use for the event must withstand the whole journey. Most of the bags used at weddings are very small in size, and the only thing you should think about is not the bag itself, but its contents. It is quite easy. Take your phone, one card, some cash, lip colour, and one little touch-up. Put all other stuff into the car or with your family members. Here is what you need to know, with five bags by Gulbhahar.

What Should You Actually Carry to a Wedding?

The only things that are necessary for several hours. That means your phone, one card or some cash, lip colour or balm and one little touch-up, for example, kajal. Some safety pins are always useful in case your dupatta slides away. Mini hand sanitisers may be an additional option if you can put them in the bag without making it overloaded.

What Should You Leave Out of a Small Bag?

Leave behind your wallet, keys, power bank, powder compact, and an extra pair of shoes. Hand them over to one of your family members or store them in your car. A bag which is filled up to its brim loses its shape and appears chunky next to an embroidered sari.

Which Bag is Suited for a Dance-filled Sangeet?

Choose a bag which comes with a strap so that your hands remain free for dancing. The Silver Clutch Bag is a structured square box clutch made up of silver metalwork which is carved with mirror-set flowers. It comes with pearl-beaded borders on all four sides and a domed silver knob clasp.

Which Bag Is Safest in a Crowded Venue?

One with a secure closure. The Navy Blue Party Handbag features a concealed zipper along the top, keeping your phone and cards in place. It is a crescent-shaped handbag covered in hand-stitched crystal faceted teardrops in colours of midnight blue and gunmetal. The straight, flat navy strap closes with clip clasps in silver tone. One customer found it comfortable to wear while noting that it looks absolutely beautiful for a cousin’s wedding reception. Navy matches well with all-black, burgundy or emerald outfits.

Is a Rigid Box Clutch Practical for a Reception?

Yes, when you don’t need much space for carrying items. The Gold Bridal Clutch Bag is a rigid rectangular box clutch with a fine gold metal mesh and decoration featuring twin starburst medallions and a coiled gold seed bead border. It closes with a turn-lock clasp, and the chain comes in the form of long engraved gold filigree metal beads. Suitable to use for going out in the evening. You can wear it with champagne or antique gold outfits or let it complement your burgundy or navy clothes.

Can You Carry a Small Bag Hands-Free?

Indeed, with an optional strap. The Red Designer Clutch Bag is a structured bag in the shape of a box with a velvet base. Zari cord embroidery, sequins, beads, and rhinestones embellish it, while two circular medallions are connected with a gold chevron design. The handle features gold-toned D-rings, which allow you to attach a shoulder strap when you need your hands free. Perfect choice for ethnic clothing.

Is Potli a Good Option for the Ceremony?

In case of the main ceremony or mehendi party, a potli bag will be more appropriate. The Gold Bridal Potli Bag is a structured dome-shaped bag with mandala designs on it, made of antique gold beads, sequins, rhinestones, and metallic studs. Circular medallions with bold golden centres radiate from each other. This type of bag has a traditional style that will look great with a lehenga, saree, or heavy suit.

How Do You Match a Small Bag to Your Outfit?

Let the outfit do the talking. For an embroidered outfit, opt for a colour that complements it, such as gold or silver. For a simple outfit, go for a more daring bag colour. Gold goes with warm colours, silver and navy go with cool colours, and red goes with ivory, cream or green. Combine the bag with juttis of the same colour to complete the look.

What Do You Need to Keep In Mind Before Buying?

Look for the closure, the strap and the size of the bag. The closure makes sure that all your things are safe, while the strap ensures that your hands are free. See the size of the bag on the product page and compare it to a box of your phone before making the purchase. There is no point in buying a bag if your phone won’t fit in it.
