Help me decide on BM clutches!

Hi ladies! I think I'm going to get my BM's evening clutches for their gift. I'm going to emphasize to them that they definitely don't have to use it in the wedding, but obviously can if they want to. With that in mind, I want to get them something that doesn't clash, but isn't too matchy matchy with their dresses. They are wearing long, lavender chiffon dresses FYI. Please vote and let me know which you like better. I've listed the links to them on Etsy if you want to see them from different angles or whatever. Also, if you could also help me with colors that would be great! I'm leaning towards a soft ivory because that's pretty versatile, but these all come in a lot of color options. #1 also obviously can have a different color bow than the rest of the clutch. Thanks girls!

    They all come in different colors, so does that change your mind at all? haha I'm so indecisive on this!

    i love #1....while it is still formal, it seems like the one to me that could be used on an every day basis, while 2 and 3 seem a bit more formal and wedding-y with the way that they close and the metal around the edges.  they are all cute though - i was just immediately drawn to #1.

    completely agree with this. #1 is the only one I could see myself using a lot (night out on the town, etc.). They are all cute, though. Good choices!

    I like number 2 the best and I could picture a nice silver (is that too much?) or a grey.  I feel that would go well with the lavender dress and I think it could match a lot of their going- out clothes/dresses in the future.  Ivory is also a nice idea.  What color shoes are they wearing (out of curiosity) and what are your accent colors?

    I'm letting them wear whatever color or style of shoe they want since you won't be able to see them anyway. Our colors are lavender and ivory.

    Whatever color you pick, I'd like it better than just white or ivory alone. Maybe different colors for each BM??? Or you could have it in purple like your wedding color.

    #2 is just a little classier and fancier in my opinion, but the different color ribbon options for #1 is also great. you could pick a different color for each BM that way maybe? idk how many you have...

    I would pick Ivory like you said then.  Not because it matches with your wedding colors but because ivory is a neutral coolr that they could use often.  The colored ones are nice but I think they'd be less wearable.  So my choice is number 2 in ivory.  But really, they are all gorgeous!

    I like the first one best. I don't really like the clasp style of the second two. Love the bows BTW!

    clasp! that's the word i was trying to think of when i made my prior post. i totally agree, the first one is by far my favorite because i am not a fan of the clasps (to me, they kind of remind me of a little girl purse).

    Thanks for the input everyone! I think I'm going to go with #1. I do like the fold-over style of #1 better than the clasp of the others. Now I just have to decide on colors...
