  • I think it might be best to leave it as the material is satiny because anything like milk may leave a watermark. Depending where mark is could you wear a brooch or cover it with a scarf. I expect the mark is more noticeably to you then anyone else (probably no one will notice it at all). Enjoy the wedding.

    If it is any kind of satin it is best to leave it. Hold you bag over it, scarf or brooch etc as suggested, smile & enjoy the day.

    Hairspray will will work on satin, I have used it on a child's white satin bridesmaid dress and it never marked it at all, and that was a big mark the size of a 50p, just spray on the hairspray and blot with a towel pressed either side, it will dissolve the penmark and shouldn't leave a mark at all.
