wedding clutch
When creating the perfect wedding look, it is important to think it through to the smallest detail, and the choice of a clutch as the main decorative accessory and a completely functional gizmo is an important and very entertaining process. Well-known and not so famous brands produce many small handbags, which are called "clutches" and are usually used to complete an evening look.
Wedding clutches are distinguished by an innocent and at the same time festive color scheme, dominated by white, beige, soft pink or blue, lilac and any other, but muted and barely distinguishable. Solemn handbags are richly decorated with semi-precious stones or their more budgetary copies; a wide variety of materials from shining rhinestones to natural fur or feathers can be used as an external finish for a clutch bag.
How to choose
When choosing a wedding clutch, it is worth noting its main purpose for yourself: what is more important - its functionality or an attractive external design that goes well with the whole image? Undoubtedly, these two features are easily combined in one copy, but still, even the choice of the shape of a handbag for the bride sometimes puzzles her, and how much more needs to be prepared for the most important ceremony in life.
- Functional clutches are more of a soft shape, for example, they look like a bag with a small strap and an abundance of additional jewelry. In such a handbag there is a place for a phone, lipstick, a pair of invisibles and even for threads with a needle in a small case. The handbag-pouch opens conveniently and quickly - you can get something very important without even looking, and then it is just as easy to close it - just tighten the strap.
- A wedding clutch can be combined with the color of a tone-on-tone dress (if light shades predominate: white, ivory, powdery) or be an alternative to it (red, blue, patterned), but be sure to match one of the items of the wedding wardrobe, be it a dress, a veil or a holiday-themed shade.
- A handbag should be combined with the decor of the dress, that is, a dress decorated with pearls looks good with a clutch decorated with a pearl thread. Speaking of pearls: your clutch can resemble a pearl itself, only the size of a comfortable and roomy handbag with a round dense shape. The lace design of the dress is in harmony with the clutch with the finest lace trim, and the flounces on the dress match the flowers on this bridal accessory.
- When choosing an accessory, pay attention to the handles of the bag, it is good if the strap is long to hang the bag on your shoulder and safely accept congratulations and bouquets from guests. However, everyone chooses a convenient option for themselves, for someone a clutch with a short strap that is easy to put on your hand will remain optimal, and in a clutch without the possibility of “fixing” it will be inconvenient.
Kinds
There are clutches of simple and most bizarre shapes - from a laconic rectangle to pearls and fur muffs, from restrained in terms of decor to incredibly bright ones.
Rectangular clutch
This model can be designated as a classic. Such a piece of wedding wardrobe goes well with strict outfits without an abundance of decoration and perfectly with a fluffy dress and rich wedding decoration. The versatility of this handbag is explained by its simple shape and the ability to bring severity to the image. These include clutches with a solid base, reminiscent of boxes or softer envelope clutches.
Wedding clutch in the form of a purse
The model is suitable for creating a retro look or a very feminine style for a wedding ceremony. Such a handbag for the bride can be decorated with pearls or rhinestones, flowers, or it can be absolutely simple of satin fabric and a minimum of additional details.
In the shape of a heart
Romantic people will love a white heart-shaped clutch, which is perfect as an accessory for a dress with a fitted silhouette and will serve as a kind of "highlight" in creating an image. A heart-shaped clutch, and other atypical handbag options, act as bright accessories and require a laconic outfit. However, you can play with its color, let it be ivory, lavender, pink.
Round or oval
A round or oval clutch will emphasize the image of the bride and bring lightness and romance to it. Pearl-shaped clutches are especially popular - large, round and durable in ivory color, which allows the accessory to look even more like a huge pearl in the hands of a fragile bride. Such a handbag is devoid of pearl details and is concise in its execution. In round or oval bags, a quilted fabric base or a bright ring-shaped clasp can be allowed.
Decor
Decorated with beads or pearls, clutches go well with the bride's attire, whether it be a crystal white dress or an outfit of a different shade. The main thing in choosing a white clutch is to choose a shade suitable for the dress (cold, warm, ivory, with blue) and it is desirable that the decor on both items of clothing matches.
If a themed wedding is expected, the clutch can be picked up in an alternative color - lavender, turquoise, red and any other, it is important that this bright accessory is in harmony with the image of the bride and combined with something else in color: jewelry, bracelet, earrings, at least insignificant, but an important element.
