Do brides have bags?!

I'm not having a bag, my Mum & BM will have a few of my things between them. And in our venue we have a little powder room so I can dump make up and freshening up stuff in there for the night. Like you I couldn't imagine myself with a bouquet & clutch bag as well, although I think some might have a little clutch and just give it to someone while in photos etc but i'd rather dump them on others haha

I was planning to just keep bare essentials, e.g. make up, in my MOH's bag. I wasn't going to take my phone as I won't really have the time to use it and any organising/co-ordinating will be done by my entourage.

I'm not planning to. My FSIL will have my house keys as she will be taking over from the pet sitter as we're going to a hotel and my mum can have my phone because let's face it I'll be too busy to use it and I plan to pack my purse in the over night bag for the hotel and give the reception bar some money to cover any drinks myself and OH buy and will give the co ordinater that when I go in to set up.

Im having an ivory dolly bag and it should be ok over my wrist with my bouquet xx

I'm not having a bag. MOH will have a little make up or my mum for me. No way am I taking my phone, all my friends will be there anyway.

I had an ivory clutch bag (cost about £14 from Debenhams). After I'd had my make-up done, I put the lipstick in it, with pins, tissue and other bits and bobs. My mum took it in her car and gave it to me during the meal so I had it available all evening but wasn't bothered with it at the church or during the photos.

I'm going to put a small clutch bag together with similar things in too. I'll give it to the coordinator to look after for me and to then pass it onto someone in the wedding party straight after the ceremony.

I had a clutch bag with some make up in it etc but my bridesmaid looked after it for me. It was easier for her to keep two separate bags (hers and mine) rather than mixing our things together. It also meant she could get someone else to look after my stuff if she needed.

Yes, l am having one. But we are eloping just the 2 of us in Vegas and Mr Erin will only moan if try to get him to carry stuff for me!

I've bought a vintage 1960s silver clutch bag. I don't have bridesmaids or anything to look after my stuff, and I'm not risking not having my allergy meds, powder compact etc with me. I bought a vintage (new!) handkerchief to go in it too, so if I cry I'm not wiping my face with a gross scrunched up Kleenex

Not me. I wasn't going to bother taking my phone, everyone I would want to phone or text will be at the wedding, so I won't need it. Make-up would only be a lippie and h2b hates the taste so probably won't worry about renewing it. Tissues? Best man and my daughter will have those to hand!!

I am afraid to say that I am a smoker. I am thinking of getting a clutch bag and giving it to Mum to look after until after the ceremony, but I have also already arranged for my nearest and dearest to be carrying cigarettes and a lighter each (H2B, CBM, Mum etc). That is my only essential item for the day. Unless, I miraculously quit by then. I can't see that happening in the next few months though, too much to worry about already!

I found a lovely black lace pouch bag that goes wih my dress, will just have essentials in it and intend to make my Mum look after it!

I'm a smoker too so plan on having a clutch bag for the evening do but not for the day. My sister (who is my MOH as well) didn't fancy a bouquet, so she's going to have a nice clutch bag and wrist corsage, and will carry my cigarettes and lippy for me so that I can do a quick touch up. I'm definitely not planning on taking/using my phone at any point during the day or evening, but might need a few pennies for the bar later on!

I was thinking of sticking my cigs in my garter!

I was wondering the same thing mainly for my phone and make up incase I need to put more on. Also my phone is incase for any reason I need to contact hotel or guests need to contact me. I was thinking of getting a small ivory clutch bag you can get them on eBay for like £5 including postage and I was just going to get my mam to hold it for me as I'll only really be holding flowers in church and for photos or so I can hold my bag or keep it at my table while at the hotel

I had nightmares over this very thing lol! My moh had all I needed and my mom had the rest. I needn't have worried so much. x
