By Marti E. Andera | April 15, 2024

Celebrate with the Wedding Couple in style when planning your wedding guest look with a chic bag and shoes. Color is everywhere this wedding season, from Pantone’s color of the year—peach fuzz—to classic black and white. What fun would it be for all attending the wedding to create a wedding guest look with colored accessories, especially shoes and bags, for wedding day looks? Read on for inspiration and tips.

Color is on fire this wedding season. Choosing color combinations for your wedding bag and shoes is also a worthy trend. Add some sparkle with an unexpected color to your look. Yes, it’s good to plan ahead and have the right accessories to help you plan your outfits. Some buy their outfits ahead of choosing accessories. I like to select accessories first, then my main pieces—dress, jacket, blouse, pants. 

From Cosmopolitan’s Top 18 Summer Wedding Colors for 2024, I’m choosing my favorite color combos to inspire wedding guests purse and shoe choices.

Tips for Choosing Purses and Shoes

1. Combine a bold piece with a subtle one.
2. Select either a purse or a bag with texture, not both.
3. Navy Blue is a classic neutral that goes with everything.
4. “Color is the new black”.
5. For traveling, pack your purse and your shoes in a travel bag to protect from transfer of color from dark wash jeans and other denim items.
6. Consider buying handbag cleaning rescue wipes and pack one with for traveling.
