It is definitely true to say accessories make an outfit  – and never more so than on your wedding day! The right veil can transform a bride from beautiful to breathtaking, a statement necklace from gorgeous to stunning and we all know that give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world! Whilst we would never leave home without one, an accessory all too often overlooked by brides is the humble handbag. But never more so than on your big day, do you need these little safe-havens of female necessities….. oh, and I’ll tell you exactly what for later!

If you don’t want to walk down the aisle holding one (although it does make for a cute alternative to the traditional bouquet!) or with one hung on your shoulder, give it to one of your bridesmaids to keep safe until after the ceremony. Believe me, you will definitely be wanting all it contains close at hand! I don’t know what I would have done without mine…..

So, here is my pick of 20 of the most beautiful bridal clutches, in an array of pretty styles, shades and shapes, just perfect for your big day!

So, once you have found the perfect clutch, what are the 5 things every bride needs? Well, take it from me, when you walk down the aisle you will definitely want…..

1. A Handkerchief

2. A Lipstick

3. A Needle & White Thread – just in case!

With these few things you’re set for the day!

So do you have a favourite? I love the Pearl Heart Clutch from BHLDN!
