At first I wasn’t sure if I wanted a bridal handbag, it didn’t seem like I’d need it that much. However I did think it might be nice to have somewhere to stash some powder and lip gloss, so I just figured I’d use a bag I already own, borrow one, or sew up something sweet and simple.
Then I saw this sweet sparkly little lady at almost 60% off and I decided that I did in fact need a new fancy bridal bag.
She arrived in the mail today, and she is gorgeous. She is a tad smaller than I had pictured, but I think it’ll still work.
Sunglasses used for scale.
Here are some other bridal bags I’ve been eyeing:

Are you using a handbag during your wedding?
I’m not planning to use a bag, but I think you picked the right one of the options you posted… it’s dressy enough to be bridal, but at the same time, it doesn’t scream wedding, so you could use it again!
Oooo that’s a Menbur bag! They have the matching shoes on http://www.endless.com!
Although you’ve picked some really cute ones (grey & pink is my fav) I’ve always wondered about ‘bridal bags’. It just seems like another pointless thing that the wedding industry tells you that you need. I mean I’m sure your maids will have a much larger bag with tons of back up important items - why spend more money on something you wont even really use. It’s unlikely it’ll be in photos and a lot of fabrics could easily get torn or damaged next to taffeta, tulle or sequins. Plus remember you’ll have to carry your bouquet in one hand and the other hand needs to go to holding things, hugging people or with the mister!
You picked my favorite out of all of these! I’m not using a bag, simply because at our venue, I can just walk upstairs to my dressing room any time I need to touch up or something
My dress has pockets so I’m thinking of stowing my lip gloss, powder and small mirror in one of those (along with my kleenex). However, I’m having nightmares of my lip gloss bursting and staining my gown!!! Otherwise, I pretty much plan on making my BM’s or groom stash the rest. 
Your bag is beyond gorgeous! You chose well!!! I picked up a clutch at H&M last week, so proud of my little $18 purchase. It looks like other bags I had been eyeing that were WELL beyond my budget. I rarely go into H&M and it was meant to be that I found it. I probably won’t need a clutch, but I really wanted it for pictures!
I had a clutch that matched my shoes. It was amazing in pictures and I love it! ALSO BOTH WERE BY MENBUR!
@Robin: I understand–that’s why I made sure to get a bag on sale that I know I would use again!
@MUI831: I love dresses with pockets!
@7SEVENJ9: I just discovered Menbur and they have some great stuff! My sister will be wearing Menbur shoes!
That heart bag is totally reminiscent of SATC! Love the one you picked though, perfect for your big day!
Definitely. I decided to make clutches for my ladies (a la Mrs. Peep Toe) and couldn’t resist making one for myself!
Love the one you chose!! I used one, and I loved having it. I added a little wrist strap to mine so I could carry it with me without it getting in my way.

Ms. Cheetah, Los Angeles/Palm Springs Age and Occupation: 31, Artist, Educator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, TV Finance Engagement Date: April 2010 Wedding Date: March 2011 Venue: The Viceroy About Me: I’m a silly, sassy lady with a compulsion to create. I love to sing and dance, despite the fact that I lack any talent doing either. I somehow manage to be messy and organized at the same time. I like to spend my days road tripping, watching '80s movies, reading true crime books, buying things on sale, sending postcards, playing board games, dining at food trucks, snuggling, and drinking ginger ale. I have a weak spot for all things sweet, especially Mr. Cheetah! I’m a Chicago girl and he’s a Nor Cal boy but we love living in the City of Angels. After 10 years as a couple we are planning a fun-filled semi-destination wedding in Palm Springs. Hope you enjoy the ride!
