Nelle Handbags — Spring Line Released!

Oh, I love Nelle Handbags. I’d blogged about Nelle’s line back in September, even though I’d been privy to the lovely gorgeousness since the previous spring. Please forgive me.

I’m writing about Nelle again because the Spring ’09 line is decadent! And you can choose from a variety of colors. And… Nelle handbags were highlighted on Brooklyn Bride!

Check out this lovely cherub tote with hand-died silk ribbon detail!

And how could you NOT find a bag to match your dress, and your maids’ dresses? What a lovely gift to your girls!

Laura really outdid herself with the updated collection!

Skip The Bouquet, Carry This Purse!

Who says you and your maids have to carry bouquets?

Have you ever considered gifting your maids (and/or matrons) with a sweet handbag they can use again and again, rather than supplying them with beautiful (but short-lived bouquets)?

I am absolutely loving these J.Crew

For $88 each, these Gala bags are one sweet gift and they’d look lovely next to a 50s style dress, a sleek gown or the cutie-pie yellow dress I mentioned earlier!

Other colors include black, aqua (spearmint) and tea rose (stunning dark pink).

Beautiful Bag To Carry Your Gloss

My other favorite handbag designer is Nelle. This cutie is a silk charmeuse with a hand-dyed ribbon. What’s cool about these bags is that each one comes with its own unique broach. If you’re cool with a little bit of mystery and magic, this cutie-pie flex-close bag is perfect! It comes in different shapes (this one is 6″x6″ with a vintage brass handle, but there’s also a 13″x6″ bag)

Know what else is awesome? Its under $150!

Pretty Purses To Carry Your Stuff

I’ve gotten my wedding purse sort of figured out.

Here’s the deal. I haven’t chosen my dress, shoes, hairpiece or hairstyle. But… the purse seems like an easy, light thing to focus on. I have it narrowed down to some beautiful pieces from two seperate designers.

Letty Designs has these beautiful, rich and glamorous bags that would be perfect for a wedding, fundraiser or cocktail party. These little numbers have exceptional attention to detail and use really fabulous materials. They are a bit more pricy than I’d budgeted, but… I may be able to justify. Want to buy one?
