MemberDid you carry a clutch on your wedding day? Why/why not?
Are you glad you did/didn’t?
I’m debating whether to get one and I’d love to see what you carried on your wedding day!

just a small dark grey (to match our colors) clutch that i will stash at our table or keep with the BP. i’d like to have money, phone and lipstick & powder for touch ups.
Membercrackktheskyy: I won’t be carrying one, we’re doing a very small casual thing so I don’t think it’s necessary but I’d love to drool over some clutch pictures!!
MemberI bought a beautiful beaded vintage clutch from the 1920/30’s. I LOVE it, and I’ll be able to use it on the honeymoon as well. I had found one at a vintage shop and fell in LOVE but that one was too yellow, fortunately I found this one! Its a bit ivory and off color from my dress since it is so old, but I think its perfect 🙂
MemberI’m planning on having one to carry lipstick, powder, mints, tissues lol – just little things for touck ups.
Membercrackktheskyy: i carried nothing, but had a bag stashed away in the dressing room at the venue (got ready, married, and had reception at the same place) with anything i could ever need and i always had a BM or my mom nearby and happy to get me whatever i needed! pockets in my dress would have been awesome though…not gonna lie!
Memberandixlyn: Oh that’s so pretty! I love that it has a chain strap, too! It actually looks very similar to the charcoal colored clutches that I got for the girls in the WP!
playdohpants: haha there can never be too many clutch or shoe pictures!
MrsJBtoB: Wow! That is gorgeous! I love all of the beading. So perfect!
TheGorgonMedusa: That’s why I think that I’ll need one, too! I’m a hot mess so I’m lucky if I don’t accidentally wipe all of my makeup off within minutes, haha. Very pretty! I love the mirrored effect.
blankenshiptobe: Ugh, I so wanted a dress with pockets, too! I live in hoodies so it would have felt very natural, haha. I’m terrified that if I bring a clutch I will lose it, but they are so darn pretty. I like the idea of keeping stuff in the upstairs suite we have at the venue, though!
MemberI carried a vintage lucite clutch.. it’s actually clear and from the 50’s I had a beautiful scarf inside of it… now here goes the sad part, I didnt keep up with it, have no clue where it is now. I agree carry nothing and have a bag stashed away with it, you won’t keep up with it.
Membercreeative1: Oh no!! That sounds like it was so beautiful! I am so worried about losing something, too. Maybe if I do have a clutch I could carry it for photos and all and bring it to the venue, and then stash it away upstairs in our bridal room. I can ask my DOC to make sure it goes back to the hotel with us later that night! So sorry to hear about yours 🙁
Membercrackktheskyy: Thank you! Yeah previous experience from being a bridesmaid taught me that there are certain things that I will need throughout the day. That being said, I’ve anticipated that it may be a pain to keep track off on the day so both my DOC and MOH have said that they can hold on to it for safekeeping if I need to put it aside.
MemberI never got a picture of just my bag that I used for the day, but here it is from the online store:
But, I just had the larger bag with this pattern (they do 3 different sizes, and you can customize the fabirc). It’s from Better Life Bags, and is called a nesting pouch. It mainly carried my phone, lipsticks, ID and some cash, hairspray, and a few other items as well.
MemberI got mine at my bridal shower from my SIL’s mom, I am seriosuly obsessed with it.
MemberI rented a Kate Spade bag from Rent the Runway. So glad I did as it was a huge conversation piece, and I could never justify paying $400 for something I could use for a week, max.
MemberFollowing so I can see/drool. I haven’t decided on mine yet, but I will have one 🙂
Membercrackktheskyy: I had a wristlet made from someone on etsy. I didn’t carry it, I left it on the table in the reception room when the ceremony was going on (Ceremony and Reception were held in the same venue just different rooms). It stayed on the table all night and only used it when I wanted my phone. My wedding colours were Teal, White and Black. Here is the online pic I saved to my comp when I ordered them:
