You might like the idea of a dainty purse to carry on your wedding day or you could just see it as a nuisance and something you could do without. Either way you consider your options and decide what is appropriate for you.

Pros & Cons
On the plus side if you decide to carry a purse, you can carry the make up essentials for any minor touch ups, you can take along your mobile for any emergencies, and it's a good place to put all those important tissues. On the opposite side you will have to rely on someone else, perhaps your maid of honour, to carry it into the ceremony and it adds another expense to the wedding.

Styles
When picking out handbags for you and your bridesmaids, make sure you select something that complements the dresses, both in colour and texture as well as fabric. The best style for a bridal handbag is small and light weight. Chat to your maid of honour about what she would be prepared to carry.

Varieties
Why not pick out the detailing on your dress and find a handbag to match that. You can also find white satin handbags that are specially designed to be dyed after the wedding so that it can be used again and again. If you have a white wedding dress, a pale pearl handbag will make a good match. If you have an off-white wedding dress, an ivory or pearl handbag might be a better choice.

Magic Purse
The bridal purse is such a small part of the overall bridal outfit and as we have already discovered can be overlooked by the bride herself. However, if you have a plain wedding outfit then you could choose a wedding purse that lifts the whole 'look'.
