The Elsie Beaded Leather Clutch by Chloé is one of those beautiful bags that just doesn’t get a fair rap in photos. Bright enough to rival the shimmer of gems and crystals this pretty clutch is covered on the front by gleaming gold beads in various sizes for a three dimensional, effervescent effect that looks a little like champagne in sculpture form. The look is interrupted only by the unique twist-lock fastening and Ecru leather flap. The back is also Ecru leather and it has a zippered top closure. Inside it’s lined in nude leather and features an inner pouch pocket and hardware designer stamp. $2,195

When you think of what it takes for two people to remain in a relationship for years, its no wonder that many couples decide to hold a reaffirmation ceremony or renew their vows to celebrate their accomplishment. This is a great way to reinforce your commitment to your partner and show them your love them is as strong as ever.

But this isnt the only time a reaffirmation ceremony is held. Couples who dash on the spur of the moment and elope, sometimes choose to renew their vows in front of their family and friends to give them the opportunity to celebrate their marriage in style.

Although both situations are appropriate, most often couples who have been married for 10 years or more renew their vows. In many cases this gives them the opportunity to have the type of wedding that they couldnt afford when they first said I do.
