Weddings! A kaleidoscope of colours, emotions, and Instagram-worthy moments. From heart-warming mehndi ceremonies to the party perfect cocktail, every occasion demands a perfect outfit – and, of course, the perfect bag. Because, darling, your ensemble isn’t complete without a trusty companion that holds your lipstick, tissues, and a sneaky snack (no judgement). Here’s a Bollywood-inspired guide to match your bags to wedding events, Etcetera style!
The Mehndi: Clutch it Like a Queen
Think intricate henna patterns, laughter, and Kala Chashma blaring in the background. The mehndi is all about tradition and fun. Pair your bright floral lehenga with a gorgeous vegan leather crossbody bag. Not only will it complement the vibe, but it’s practical enough to avoid smudging your freshly inked hands. Scream effortless elegance like Deepika Padukone in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani!
The Sangeet: Dance and Dazzle with a Sling Bag
The Sangeet is your “Gallan Goodiyan” moment – a night of music, dance-offs, and full-on Bollywood drama. You need a chic bag that lets you dance freely and not worry about losing it mid-thumka. Choose a metallic or a luxurious satin fabric mini party bag to match the disco ball vibes. Plus, it’ll hold that extra gajra you forgot to put on.
The Big Fat Wedding: Tote around the Glam
Ah, the grand wedding day! An event where you morph into a character straight out of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. A roomy yet glamorous tote is your go-to. Why? It can discreetly stash makeup essentials, emergency safety pins, and maybe a small gift for the bride. Look for one with gold accents to match the larger-than-life decor. It’s classy, practical, and oh-so Bollywood!
The Cocktail Party: Bling Bags
This is the time to channel your inner Priyanka Chopra from the Desi Girl Song. A cocktail night calls for glitz and glamour, and a sleek handbag for Bridals fits right in. Choose one with a glossy finish to add a pop of shine to your chic gown. Hands-free and fabulous – perfect for holding a mocktail in one hand and the mic for karaoke in the other.
Psst… we were hard-pressed to choose between the party bag and the structured bucket bag since one screams PARTY and the other is an epitome of understated elegance!
The Reception: Shine Bright with an Envelope Party Bag
This is your red-carpet moment – the perfect opportunity to flaunt a statement envelope party bag that dazzles brighter than Alia’s lehenga in Rocky aur Rani. Think crystals, embellishments, and bold colours. You’re here to celebrate, and your bag should reflect that sparkle. Bonus points if it’s big enough for your phone – you’ll need it for all the selfies!
Choosing the right bag for a wedding is an art. It’s not just an accessory; it’s your silent support system through outfit changes, dance-offs, and goss sesh breaks. So, whether you’re going full Bollywood or minimalist chic, Etcetera Bags has you covered.
Because every wedding deserves drama, style, and bags that make heads turn!
