Should Shoes And Bags Match For A Wedding?
There is no set rule on whether or not your shoes and bag should match each other at a wedding. You could wear two different colours or patterns on either of your accessories. However, matching the colour of your shoes and bag (despite not being mandatory) is important if you are looking to radiate elegance, as many think a matching bag and pair of shoes embody sophistication.
What Colour Works With Everything?
If you really want a foolproof solution to making sure your accessories don't clash with your dress, opt for the colour white. Weather you're heading to a black-tie wedding, or wearing a beach wedding guest dress, a white shoe or bag is a safe bet and provides your outfit with a cool overhaul.
Can You Wear A Tote Bag To A Wedding?
You shouldn't wear a bag that is too casual or baggy, so a tote bag would definitely be a no-go. Opt for a more formal bag, such as a clutch or shoulder bag.
