    I will not have a purse. My Dress has pockets!!! So i plan on keeping my phone in there for the reception to have it close by for pictures. Everything else doesn't matter to me on that day!

    I had a bridal clutch because I always like to have my mints, phone, lip gloss/chapstick and compact with me.

    No purse for me. Bridal cottage for getting ready, ceremony, and reception are all in one place and I’m not quite sure what I’d do with a purse or where I’d put it.

    I bought a beaded vintage purse! We have separate locations for the ceremony and reception plus I plan on going out after the reception so I will definitely need a purse!

    I think a lot of brides keep makeup and tissues and such in their purses. Are you worried about that or are you having one of your wedding party members help you out there?

    I don't think I'll have one if so probably end up in the bridal suite.

    No purse for me either!

    On an average day when I don't feel like carrying one, I just slide my phone/lip balm into my fiancee's pockets...haha figured I might do the same on our wedding day :p But really, there's a bridal room at the venue where I could leave things, or could store things in my moms/friends' clutches if need be.

    I will have nothing!! Not even my phone!! I want to be in the moment and ready to bust a dance move at every moment! I will be ready to dance with my FH every chance I get and not worried about losing something.

    I want to carry a purse but with the amount of stuff I plan on carrying with me, I need something bigger than a clutch but still looks bridal.

    Haha :p

    Debating about the phone. Want to leave it behind so I don't get distracted. I use my phone's camera to check my face, but could just get a small compact instead.

    Definitely something for my lips, and probably a hanky bc I'm a crier ha.
