I've never been married, but I do compulsively watch all of TLC's wedding-themed reality shows, so I've developed quite a few opinions on wedding fashion. First, a bride should do pretty much whatever she wants, because it must suck not to feel like yourself on your wedding day. Second, not enough attention is paid to the bag a bride will carry for the big event.
Designers are starting to get wise to the fact that brides might want a special little bag to carry their phones and a lipstick for touch-ups, and since photographs of wedding accessories and shoes have long been a bridal keepsake, the look of the bag really matters.
Below, we've picked out over two dozen gorgeous bridal clutches for a range of budgets, aesthetics and preferences, including a few "something blues."
