13 Beautiful Clutches For Brides

It's wedding season, y'all, which means that you probably will not only be attending weddings, but will also be in them, too. Heck, maybe you're even getting hitched yourself, which leads me to the question: Does a bride need a purse? Put this on the list of things I've never thought about before, but am now obsessively thinking about.

I'm nowhere close to getting hitched, but plenty of my friends and coworkers are. I imagine that in about a couple of weeks, my timeline is going to be lit with gorgeous wedding photos, whether they be at the beach, in an awesome city loft, or beautiful backyard. Essentially, I'm obsessed with weddings, and this is actually my favorite season of the year.

As a wedding lover, I've found myself spending hours on my Pinterest board, picking everything from table settings, to invitations, to photo booth ideas, to locations. Oh, and I've already picked my three wedding songs, and have flipped through more than one bridal magazines to find the perfect dress. Call it an obsession, if you will. I call it a hobby.

But the tiniest details are ones that I often forget about, mainly, day-of decisions, and what the heck you actually wear on your big day, besides your dress and gorgeous shoes. According to Brides magazine, you don't necessarily need a handbag on your wedding day, since chances are, you won't be needing to carry anything like cash, your license, or keys. And, you can rely on your trusty relatives and bridesmaids and friends to hold things for you.

But, if you're like me, you'll want a few important items with you at all times. Lipstick, phone, tissues, Chapstick, and mints are always a good to keep on you during the ceremony and reception. And these small and elegant clutches will not disappoint.
