When you need a super cute wedding day accessory in a clutch, why not grab a clutch? Having a wedding day handbag is a definite do when it comes to pulling together your entire look. Sure, you’re not going to carry it down the aisle – in fact you may not really carry it all. But, whether you have it by your side or have your trusty Maid of Honor toting your little purse, you’ll be glad that you thought to have one nearby. All of the little things you’re going to want to have handy will go right in your handbag! Lipstick? Check. Tissues? Check. Cell phone for random adorable pics when you’re getting ready and at the after party? Check. Mini compact mirror that your besties gave out as bridal shower favors at your shower to make sure your falsies haven’t fallen off? Of course! During the reception you can simply place your purse under your seat at the sweetheart table or let your bridesmaids handle it for the entire night – your choice!
So, when it comes to choosing a wedding day handbag, where do you start? Well, you want to think dainty, and not the oversized bags that can carry the entire kitchen sink. Not quite the right look for the wedding day. Your purse for your wedding will only be for the essentials, and the most popular choice for your purse these days is the clutch! It’s elegant, it’s chic, and it comes in a range of shapes and styles to match your bridal personality. You can go tried and true traditional and opt for a white or ivory satin clutch, or you can even get a dyeable clutch to match your bridesmaids’ dresses! Clutches are also perf for the vintage look – find one with pearls or peacock feathers, or grab one right out of your grandmother’s closet as your something borrowed! You can also go super bright and bold with your clutch. This is a great accessory to tote along in hot pink or neon green to match your shoes underneath your gown! If you like the look of a clutch but want the convenience of a strap, many clutches do come with a daintier strap that can be worn or tucked into the purse, depending on what look you love.
So just remember when you’re accessorizing – don’t just think head to toe! You also need something handy to hold in your hand for all your must-haves on the big day.
