Picture this… You've picked out the wedding dress of your dreams (or perhaps you’re still contemplating whether to choose a vintage style dress or go for something short…) You’ve selected bridesmaid dresses for your nearest and dearest and you've invested in a pair of designer wedding shoes that compliment your dress. You’ve even decided on the perfume you’re going to wear when you say ‘I do’ and deliberated over the best jewellery to showcase your ring.

But hold up, there is one finishing touch left to complete your big day outfit… The bridal clutch bag. How else will you carry your lipstick, tissues (there's no point in pretending your won't spend the entire day mopping away happy tears) and phone?

However you plan to style out your wedding, there are a few things that remain constant: namely, the essentials that every bride needs in close proximity as she says 'I do'. Whether you're planning a mega do for next year or are arranging the finishing touches for a ceremony this year, you'll need one of these bridal clutch bags on your arm to complete that once-in-a-lifetime look. Handbags and purses are not something to be forgotten in the whirlwind that comes with buying shoes and jewellery.

Whether you’re balancing your budget so you can treat yourself to a designer clutch bag for your big day or are looking for the best bridal clutch bags from the high street (so you can save more money for the wedding party) we have rounded up the very best options at every price point. 

At the very pinnacle of our wish list is the breathtaking seashell-shaped, diamanté encrusted clutch bag from Judith Leiber. Label lovers will fall for Bottega Veneta’s iconic Pouch bag or Loewe’s Flamenco clutch, with sweet tassels and a detachable shoulder strap. Fashion forward brides might choose an acrylic box clutch bag from Cult Gaia - the angular shape is ideal for chic minimalist brides - while vintage lovers will fall for Oliver Bonas’s pearl detail clutch or this Accessorize pearl-embellished clutch bag. For classicists looking for the ultimate in elegance, LK Bennett has a creamy-toned patent envelope bag and Reiss has a similarly chic clutch bag in satin.
