Bridal handbags come in two basic types: all-out bridal (think Edie Parker’s famed “Mrs.” clutch, for example) and bridal-to-evening ready. For this blog post, we’re all about the latter, and we’re sharing our top picks for wedding-day handbags that make a seamless transition to evening-out elegance. Make one of these evening jeweled, fringed or glittering evening bags a part of your wedding attire, then keep it close at hand for accessorizing in style any night of the year!
1. Jimmy Choo “Florence” Cross-Body Bag
There’s never an evening occasion when sparkle’s not in style. And Jimmy Choo’s glittering “Florence” bag has sparkle (and style) for miles. Use this super-embellished bag as a bridal clutch on your big day, then put its cross-body chain to good use when you need your hands free for sipping cocktails or throwing your hands in the air like you just don’t care, on GNO!
2. Badgley Mischka “Graph” Clutch
Catch the light right, with Badgley Mischka’s sophisticated, sparkling Gold Graph clutch. With its textured bengaline body, statement-making crystal embellishment and vintage-inspired clasp, this elegant bag is perfect for holding your wedding-day and evening-out essentials.
