Wedding season has arrived and, besides toasting to your bestie and a lifetime of love and happiness, a major part of the fun is deciding what to wear. You’ve got the dress, the shoes, even the jewelry is all picked out. But the bag is the part that ties it all together and you have yet to find the perfect match. Enter the trio of options below, all big enough to fit the essentials while maintaining effortless style and elegance, too. The best part? These 3 bags are not just wedding-friendly, they’re versatile enough to carry all summer long.

Designed to fit only the essentials, this 90s-inspired classic is as timeless as it is stylish. As a wedding bag, it’s functional, too. Yes, it can hold your lipstick, your phone, your keys, but it also comes with a detachable strap, which means you can pivot it to a clutch in an instant, depending on the look you’re going for. There’s more: The interior multi-function pocket will help you stay organized. (After all, there’s nothing worse than trying to locate your coat check tag.) The best part? It comes in 20 different colors, so you can pick the one that most suits your wedding guest look.

This wedding-ready bag is a hair smaller than the Teri, but it’s still a total workhorse—not to mention, super cute. Once again, this is a purse designed to carry the items you need to embrace the glamour of the night (lip gloss, your phone, cash to tip any bartenders), but it’s also a silhouette petite enough to keep close. (The handle comes with no more than a 6-inch drop.) Still, our favorite part is the bag’s flexibility: A simple adjustment to the clip of the strap and you can convert the Nolita into a wristlet, which is just what you need ahead of hitting the dance floor.

This archival take on the 1970s Coach design features polished pebble leather and the brand’s signature (read: iconic) hardware, too. The resulting look feels luxe and chic, not to mention the type of piece that will elevate any wedding look. We especially love the dual straps, which gives you the option to wear this bag as a crossbody or carry it as a shoulder bag. In this case, there are six different colors to choose from, all neutral and polished—with an added layer of sheen—which makes it a breeze to pair with any ensemble, regardless of the dress code.
