Do You Need a Bridal Purse?

Filed in archive Bridal Style on June 11, 2008

There's so much to get for a wedding. Besides the big, obvious items like a dress and cake, what about little things like a bridal purse? Although this is a small accessory, you should put some care into what purse you choose, should you decide to carry one.

First and foremost, your purse should match your wedding dress. I don't mean it needs to be exactly matchy-matchy, but if your dress is formal and decorative, your bag should match in tone. Similarly, if your dress and wedding are very casual, then a more subdued purse will work.

Naturally, you should first decide how formal your wedding will be. After that, everything else can fall into place. You choose a gown, then find a purse that goes well with it. Besides holding things like lipstick, powder (you don't want to be shiny at your reception!) and tissue, you need something to hold all of those money-filled envelopes you may get.
