Clutches for bridesmaids. A good idea?

Nicole, on April 18, 2013 at 12:25 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

I've been looking for clutches for the bridesmaids but then I started wondering if they will even use them. Or if they will get in the way. Who will hold them all during the ceremony and pictures? It would be nice to for them to have a place to put their cells, cameras, touch up makeup if they want to but I'm not sure if it is a convenience or a hindrance.

Anyone buying clutches for their girls? Or anyone been a bridesmaid before that can shed some light on whether this would be helpful? Thanks Smiley smile

    At my venue they have lockers in the getting dress/ restroom areas that the girls can lock their stuff in.. I think clutches are cute to hold everything but I don't think they want to be carrying it around throughout the whole wedding.. I would want to store my stuff somewhere safe and when I need something I can go get it.

    I was thinking of giving my bridesmaids clutches as well.. But I changed my mind because I was thinking if they were going to use them as well.. I ended up giving them pashima scarves with their names engraved of their favorite color and they loved them. Smiley smile But depending on your bridesmaids if they use small purses they may use them again.. Good luck

    I want to get mine clutches as well although I'm not too concerned with them using them during the ceremony/ wedding day but as a gift they can use later.

    Finger clutches could be your best solution. Finger clutches are strategically designed clutch that have four cut out finger holes for unique carrying. Your bridesmaids can keep all of their things in comfort and style. Look for clutches that will complement the bridesmaids’ dresses or gowns. The right clutch can be hidden behind the bridesmaids’ bouquets, if they are carrying one. I hope this has been helpful.

    I was a bridesmaid last year and we were given clutches, it was handy for the day but I haven't used it since. I don't plan on giving them to my BM.

    My dress has pockets. I think all Maggie Sottero dresses do.

    I would re-use it because I believe one can never have to many of such things.

    However, the idea would be wasted on my MOH. It's just not her thing. I wanted to do it and then realized it'd be pointless.

    I'm also having two JB, but at 6 and 5 they don't need anything $$$.

    I thought about getting one for my mom. She carries clutches from time to time so as long as I didn't get some crazy color she would find a reason.
