I am all for breaking tradition, so I thought, “How creative can you be with giving your bridesmaids something different to carry down the aisle?” Well, little did I know, the answer was VERY creative!

Have you ever thought about carrying a clutch down the aisle? When I saw these beautiful photos of brides and bridesmaids carrying a clutch down the aisle, I was smitten! I absolutely LOVE this idea.

It is extremely practical, as all your bridesmaids can have their bare essentials in their clutch throughout your wedding day. They can have their makeup for touch-ups and that little white handkerchief that you know will come out at least twice before the end of the night.

They can also serve as your wedding gift to your bridesmaids. You can have their name’s embroidered on the inside or leave a sweet note tucked away in one of the pockets for them to discover and read at a later date. The possibilities are endless with a beautiful clutch.

I love the idea of both the bride and the bridesmaids carrying a clutch, but if the bride doesn’t have a bouquet … What does she throw during the reception!?!
