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.
