For the first post of my new ‘Bridal Styling Sunday’ blogging, I thought I would ease us into things by kicking off with a post on bridal accessories, or more specifically, bridal bags. (Yes, I am aware that today is Monday, but let’s pretend it’s not).
A bridal bag is usually the last thing a bride considers when it comes to her wedding outfit. In fairness, not every bride will need a bag for their wedding day, but of course a stylish bride will have the complete outfit; the exquisite dress, divine shoes and a perfectly matching bag to hold her lipstick, powder, maybe her something old or borrowed and other necessities.
Now ladies, your average satin, drawstring pouch simply won’t cut it in the stylish bride stakes these days. Your bag must be a staple piece in itself yet, it must tie in effortlessly with your gown and the overall theme of the day. To give you a helping hand, I’ve researched some of the best pieces out there to suit your personal bridal style and also ideas on how your bridesmaids could match.
For the Modern Bride
My modern day brides are dressed in clean-cut, minimalistic gowns and their wedding theme always has a touch of evening glamour. This stunning clutch from Coast will be the perfect accessory for a Grecian style, column gown and have your bridesmaids compliment you with this pleated metallic number.
For the Romantic Bride
A romantic bride will be searching for their fairy tale dress and what better way to accessorise than with this dreamy feather clutch. Your bridesmaids can stay romantic too with this sophisticated embellished clutch in silky satin.
For the Destination Bride
Travelling abroad for your big day? Then you’ll want to add a touch of jet-setting cool to your outfit. This River Island clutch with delicate cut-out detail will be ideal for beach brides. A neutral coloured accessory for your bridesmaids will help show off their tan and will compliment most colour schemes.
For the Vintage Bride
You don’t get more vintage than bows and flowers and these two pieces will be ideal for vintage-inspired weddings. A more refined style of vintage bridal, the two pieces complement each other perfectly and you’ll also find these soft hues will be very flattering for ivory-white gowns.
