"Hi! My name is Kathy and we are at My Lords and Ladies. On behalf of expertvillage.com, we are going to talk about purses today. Let us take a few moments and talk about your special day, the wedding day. Now, like anything else in fashion there is a huge variety of kinds of gowns out there and it is important to pick the appropriate bag to go with the style of gown that you have. Now if you are doing a theatrical look, once again you want to take on a purse that has that feel. If you are doing a theme wedding and you have Victorian or medieval theme of everything going on, you are going to want something more like a reticule. Again drippy beads always works quite often they have different shapes, may be a little rhinestone at the top but this definitely takes on a very elegant old time feeling. If you are having a more traditional dress, you might want to start with a very traditional bag. Little bit of satin, touch of rhinestone, big bow is always soft, very feminine. This can work with many, many kinds of gowns. Generally speaking there is not much you have to carry on your wedding day, a little lipstick and you are good to go. So do not worry about the size of it because you are not going to be overstuffing it. Now, if you are having a little more modern, let us go for some fun. Some organza, flowers, beads this all works and we cannot forget that we have bridesmaids so whatever you are doing for the bride, let us pick something that can match for your bridesmaids; again, a little bit of pink, little bit of blue, just color coordinate and then in the pictures have them hold their bag; every accent can make a statement. If you are going in cream, just make sure that your creams are cream and your white is white. They all look the same until they are directly beside each other so be sure and lay that purse next to year gown and make sure that they match appropriately because in the picture later on, you will definitely see the difference in shading. Other than those few minor tips you have a great day on your wedding day and all will go well. "
