16 Bridal Clutches to Love, Honor, and Cherish for the Rest of Your Days
Or at least until the reception ends.
You nailed the venue, dropped off your gown at the tailor, and found wedding shoes that are actually comfortable. With so much meticulous planning in the rearview, it’s time to exhale. You’re almost there. But wait, where’s your phone? Is there a mirror nearby? Does anyone have a bobby pin? I think you might need a mint. If only you had a bridal clutch to complete your look...
As you know, the power of a purse extends far beyond aesthetics. Whether you need a last minute touch-up ahead of family photos, or a quick blot of the eyes after the maid of honor’s speech, a small-but-mighty bag is imperative for keeping your necessities close by. Fortunately, there’s quite an array of luxury bridal clutches out there, just waiting to be called into action as “something new” by brides and anti-brides everywhere. From understated to sculptural, a catch-all clutch can serve as the perfect complement to your gown, reception ‘fit, or rehearsal dinner dress. Whether your preference leans towards the pearl-laden or the feathered, read on to find the bridal bag you’ll want to have and to hold forevermore.
This 14-carat gold-embellished handbag deserves a cocktail hour of its own.
Nothing says “bride” quite like satin. This one also moonlights as a shoulder bag with a detachable strap for those seeking variety.
Both functional and versatile, this bag marries leather and microsuede in a catch-all clutch that can be easily converted into a cross-body bag with the addition of a strap. The T-lock will prevent any spillage as you traipse through your venue or get a little too low on the dance floor.
This year, the only aisle I’ll be walking down is at the grocery store—or with any luck, a plane. If you, too, are looking for something that feels evergreen and not overtly bridal, this clutch is perfect for both the big day and the everyday. Understated yet sleek, this clutch is (and holds!) everything.
Veronica Beard’s bags are famous for their supple leather, and this one is no different. This version comes in a trusty form with a top handle and adjustable strap.
If there was ever a time to treat yourself, it’s on your wedding day. In the Loewe’s signature Flamenco style, this bag uses a drawstring to keep your items safe and sound as you indulge in a cocktail (or two).
Embellished with glossy imitation pearls, this clutch features a relaxed form and a magnetic closure. It’s also outfitted with an interior pocket for those can’t-lose items you’ll want tucked securely by your side all day.
Who needs doves when you have this show-stopper? Keep it caged under your arm, or use the removable crossbody strap for a hands-free approach.
If you prefer a shoulder bag, Staud is at the ready with this textured beaded number.
Tie the knot into a sweet bow with this ultra-feminine top-handle bag.
Bridging together both the sculptural and the functional, this hardshell clutch is dripping in character, making it the perfect partner for brides seeking to make a statement.
The more rings, the better, right? This pick boasts a magnetic closure and a striking gold-toned ring to wear around your wrist or hold in-hand.
This one has Instagram’s brides-to-be drooling—and for good reason. An update of the brand’s beloved box bag, this Cult Gaia option offers a top-clasp closure for security.
In case you plan on wearing silver accessories for the big day, I present you with this darling Max Mara pouch.
With an aptly named “kiss-clutch” closure, you’ll be saying “I do” before stepping foot anywhere near the altar.
This classic ivory clutch is nothing if not marriage material. Any chance it’s single? Asking for a friend.
