The dress may be the most important part of a bride’s wedding day look, but that doesn’t mean the rest of her ensemble shouldn’t feel just as special. Bridal clutches or small shoulder bags are hero items that be can carried post-ceremony to perfectly compliment any outfit, while also serving as an emergency carry-all. Quick access to lipstick, a breath mint, a safety pin, and a mirror will help to ease the fears of any day-of style crises. Plus, if any guests choose to deliver a card or gift in person, it’s an easy way to keep track of it all.

A shoulder strap may also be worth considering if you’ll want to keep your bag with you as you hit the dancefloor.
