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 can’t feel just as special. Bridal clutches or small shoulder bags are hero items that can be worn after the ceremony to perfectly complement any outfit, but can also serve as an emergency bag. Quick access to lipstick, a coin, a safety pin and a mirror will help ease everyday anxieties of style crises. And if guests choose to personally deliver a card or gift, this is an easy way to keep track of everything.

To narrow down a possible style for your big day, look for something that fits the aesthetic and theme of the wedding in general.

A shoulder strap may also be worth considering if you want to keep your bag with you when you hit the dance floor.
