I love this tote! I holds my hugs wedding binder, my sketch/notepad usually a water bottle and whatever else I need for my hopping around to vendors and such. My only complaint is that the straps aren't long enough to put over your shoulder so I end up carrying the bag or keeping the straps at the crook of my elbow. The tote is very sturdy and I love that I get the embroidered "bride" on it- after all I only get to be a bride once!
