Do brides carry purses on their wedding day?

What is everyone using to carry all their stuff in on the day of the wedding (if anything) ?

What is everyone using to carry all their stuff in on the day of the wedding (if anything) ? I am thinking that I will want a small clutch or something to carry my phone, makeup for touch ups, wallet etc. But I don't want to be carrying it around all night or put someone in charge of it. I wish I could have a pocket sewn into my dress! Any suggestions??

    I made a small tote bag with emergency touch ups for my sisters wedding and my sister gave me her phone, ID/ATM Card. I kept the bag in the back of the church and at our bridal suit.

    Oh man I never thought about that. I 'm guessing it would be tacky to just shove my cell phone in my bra Smiley winking

    I bought a clutch as well to have the important stuff with me and not my huge purse like phone, credit card, touch up make up. Im having someone in my family hold it for me when I'm not with it.

    I had a little clutch with all that... but then I ended up bring a bag of other stuff as well. I had a bridal suite at my venue, which was also locked, so I kept my stuff in there for the evening and just went in and got it when I needed it. The keys for the room were left to my MOH, though sometimes one of the GM.

    If you don't have that option, then give your clutch to one of your bridesmaids or MOH and have them take care of it for the evening.

    I didn't have one. I didn't want to worry about carrying things with me. I didn't have time to be on my phone so didn't need that. But I wish I would have brought my lipstick for touch ups Smiley sad Forgot about that.

    I'm planning on getting a small clutch to put similar things into. During the ceremony I'll put somebody in charge of it, and then afterwards I'll have it if I need it.

    I have a bridal suite and even though the wedding clutches are sooo cute ( and expensive) I'm not getting one. I purchased some off-white ballerina slipper crocs (OMG so comfy) with a cute little bow on it, to be placed under the table were I am sitting so I can kick off the heels and have something comfy to dance the night away in!! I'm going to hand my phone off to someone. If you can get a bag and put your things in and hide it under the table (if you are using floor length tablecloths) or put someone in charge of it. Unfortunately, there are guest that steal things Smiley sad I've seen videos of people stealing the card box at a reception...hopefully that doesn't happen to anyone.
