Shopping for a wedding bag to complement your bridal look, whether it’s a suit, modern, boho or princess dress, is no small feat, believe us.
In the lead up to planning your wedding, you’ll no doubt be told to first prioritise the venue, photographer and florists before doing your research on the best bridal shops, bridal shoes and wedding rings.
Sadly, in addition to bridal nail art inspiration, bridal bags for wedding days are often overlooked or deemed an unnecessary accessory for a big day given most bridesmaids undertake the heroic task of carrying the bride’s essentials (think lipstick, phone, mascara etc) around with them all day.
However, we’d argue that wedding bags, such as clutches or boxy designs with detachable chains, are a fantastic way to create continuity through your bridal look or add another design touch, whether you want to add some modernity or toughen up an overly feminine aesthetic.
Of course, you don’t have to spend a small fortune on a wedding bag if you don’t want to. John Lewis and Oliver Bonas have some incredibly affordable designs under £50.00. However, at ELLE UK we like to see accessories as an investment that have a shelf life longer than one day, which is why we see well-crafted designer options from the likes of Miu Miu, Prada and Saint Laurent as staple pieces that you can use for your nuptials and every fancy occasion thereafter.
