I haven't bothered to find a clutch, I think for my style and with my dress it would be weird. I plan on keeping a makeup bag in my bridal suite at the wedding venue, which is also where my bathroom will be, so if I need to touch up my makeup I can do so there. What else would you keep in a clutch?
I didn't vote, but I WILL be having a clutch. I'm sure my mom and sister will keep watch over it most of the day anyway, but I love the sentimentality of having a cute bag to use after the wedding that will remind me of our day -- and I think it makes sense to keep all my stuff (inhaler, eye drops, lip gloss, etc.) together in one place, so it's easier to find in case I need anything!
I definitely want to use a clutch, but I haven't found the perfect one yet. I'm trying really hard to only buy accessories that feel like "me", instead of just seeming "bridal". I was even opposed to a traditional dress for awhile, because a long, white dress is something that I wouldn't be likely to wear normally. I finally found a dress that I love, and now I'm searching for a leather clutch.
I'm planning on having a clutch the day of my wedding. I definitely won't have it during the ceremony and for pictures, but I will ask that someone in our wedding party remember to put it at the head table so it'll be there when we arrive to the reception room.
I'm keeping my lipstick in there, as well as oil-blotting sheets and my reception toats on index cards. I'll also probably keep my personal digital camera in there as well, just in case.
My clutch is black, and it was a gift from my mom this past Christmas. I'm doing a black/white theme with my wedding day stuff (white dress, black shoes, sash and jewelry) so it'll fit right in. Plus, I can use it after the wedding, too!
I had one, and I put my lipstick and blotting tissues in it. My bridesmaids put it under my table in case I needed it, but I never carried it. I did use the lipstick a few times.
I plan on carrying a clutch. I bought a pattern on Etsy and my friend made clutches for my bridesmaids and I. I picked out the fabric, it's a totally funky fabric that ties in both of our colors (blue and lilac/purple). I'm addicted to lipgloss so I'm sure I'll use it.
I had a clutch that my DOC kept up with for the most part. It would magically appear in the garden house where we waited until the ceremony started, at our table for the reception, and then in a basket that was moved to our room at the end of the night. However, the only thing I used was my lipstick so I could have easily done without the clutch and just put the lipstick in the hubby's jacket pocket.
I used a clutch I already had that was ivory leather so I'm glad I didn't spend anything on a new one, but it was slightly comforting to know it was there if I'd needed anything else out of it.
I had a cute gold clutch with me that I really loved. However, I don't think I opened it all night. I didn't carry too many things--lipgloss, tissue, hanky, phone and camera), but I don't think I used any of it once the reception began. I did need the lipgloss to touch up for photos, but after they were done, I didn't use it. In fact, I almost forgot it--my brother had to run back in and grab it.
I'd say if you aren't a real "purse gal", then you could skip it. If you're like me, then any excuse to get a new bag is a good one!

I didn't actually think of it! I dont know if I would want my own clutch, just seems like another expence for me! hopefully my MOH or BM will have one? if not, I guess I could get my own...
Nope, not doing it. I know I'd put it somewhere and forget where I left it!!!
What are you supposed to do with it? It's not like you're going to carry it around or take pictures with it, right? I just never have understood the extra expense.
I'm going to find something to put my make up in. I saw a nice one at an antique store the other day and might go back and buy it--only $17. On the other hand, I saw the most gorgeous, perfect clutches on Etsy the other day. If only they weren't so damned expensive...

I just ordered this adorable one off etsy this week. I wasn't planing on it (I hate being tethered to a purse normally, and what are bridesmaids for?) but one of my bridesmaids said she ended up with one (as a wedding gift the day before her wedding) and that it was unbelievably helpful. We'll see if I use it, but I'm hoping to use it again at least!

That's the thing with these gorgeous clutches...Unlike the dress and veil and stuff, the clutch is something that one will definitely use again at other weddings and cocktail parties. Hmmmm.
(Watch me talk myself into justifying a $105 clutch! 
)
@baffled111~ I don't need a reason to justify a purse purchase, but one for this purpose is just lost on me! :) Though I was looking at the JCrew lookbook today and they are debuting a KILLER feather cluth this Fall. OMG. I could totally use that!
I barely ever carry a purse anyway, so I had no hope of carrying it (read: keep track of it) on my wedding day. My mom and I put a bag together with lipstick, brushes, shawls etc under my table ahead of time in case I needed something. I never even thought about the bag let alone used anything in it.
wowza! lots of clutch opinions, I love it ... I think for me I'll probably get one that I know I will want to use another time or for special events. I think if I dont I'll probably need it ... but if I do I will probably never use it ... it's just one of those things!
I guess it wasn't technically a clutch b/c it had a handle on it. But I did not open it once. I sort of knew that would happen, but I wanted to carry it anyway. It's actually the purse my mom carried on her wedding...and it was gold and happened to match my gold petticoat exactly. My grandfather brought it back from Japan for her. It's still in pretty good condition actually.
I want a dress with pockets! If I have a clutch, I know I'll lose it. :p
i will be clutching....lol. i have an obscene love affair with bags/purses/clutches (shh! please don't tell the FI). i will find something with color and probably bling and God knows what else. i'd love to be able to use it again.

Here is my random thought/question of the day:
Did you / will you wear a clutch on your wedding day?
If yes - Did you go with white? or a fun pop of color? Did you actually use it?!
If no - did you make someone carry your stuff for you? What'd they carry? Did you actually use it?
Share, share -- I'm wondering if I need to search for the perfect one or just make my sister hold my stuff :)
