You will have likely used up most of your sartorial nous searching for 'the one' – and yes, we're talking dresses, not partners. But that's no excuse for allowing your bridalbag to fall by the wayside. No accessory oversights for these nuptials.
A chic bag filled with your wedding day must-haves (lipstick, a mirror compact, mints, and a safety pin would not go amiss) will come in handy once you've relinquished your bouquet to the most sharp-elbowed bridesmaid.
Bridal bags have taken one a whole new sartorial cachet in this age of social media. These sweet accessories provide the perfect opportunity to play with your wedding day aesthetic, whether you fancy a touch of whimsy florals or a frosting of uber-glam crystals to infuse your look with Old Hollywood decadence.

How we chose the pieces:
Style and colour palette: Naturally, you want your bridal bag to complement your ensemble, and for most that requires a sense of colour cohesion. White, off-white and ivory tend to be what most brides opt for, and our picks are reflective of that. For those wanting to inject their reception look with a splash of party glamour, feathers and lustrous pearls feature throughout.
Price: Weddings in general, let alone your own, can cost a total bomb. To keep your bank balance looking healthy, we've selected a mix of both high street and designer labels, carefully selecting pieces that look super luxe.
