Gone are the days of the bridal clutch with the goofy sequins and beads sewn on.  Don’t get me wrong, those can look, ummm crafty and unique; probably not your style but perfect for a couple generations before you.  I found this very sleek and very affordable Kayla clutch in white patent on eBags.com for only $32.   It’s just big enough to hold some touch up makeup and your ID.  Anything else should really be held by your Maid of Honor because isn’t that the point of having a wedding, let alone assistants?  To have everyone dote and fuss over you, hold your stuff and tell you look perfect?  So let them do their jobs while you look stunning in your dress and little clutch!  If you don’t like this clutch there are dozens under $40 on ebags.com .  Just search for white clutch and it will bring you dozens of products.
