Details create style. This truth is worth remembering even when creating everyday images, and the image of the bride should be thought out to the last detail. Not every girl has the opportunity to get advice from a professional stylist, but it is quite possible to choose the details for your wedding dress without outside help.
Functional wedding clutches will perfectly complement any look; you just need to choose the right model of this accessory.
Advice to the bride
A clutch is a handbag that should harmoniously complement the image. Therefore, even if you are prudent, do not try to put a bunch of necessary things into a small handbag. The clutch should not change its shape because it was hammered to capacity. It is necessary to limit yourself to only the essentials.
Things that do not fit in the bride’s purse can be given to the witness or mother; they certainly will not refuse to help the hero of the occasion.
Step by step sewing process
We take a piece of satin 65 cm, a clasp, a cord 125 cm, thread, scissors, a needle. We will decorate the main part with puffs. To prevent the fabric from fraying at the edges, we scorch it with a candle, and you can overcast it.
Cut out a 6*20 strip from a sheet of paper. We make cuts along the entire strip with scissors at a distance of 1 cm. We get a template with which we will make a pattern on the fabric.
You need to leave 4 cm at the top to sew on the fastener. We mark from the middle of the material so that the pattern is uniform. You get a dotted pattern in the form of a herringbone: one branch to the left, the other to the right.
We select threads to match the color of the product. We grab the material with a 1 mm stitch, pulling the material together, securing it with a knot on the wrong side. The pattern looks like a herringbone. We collect one row, skip the second, etc. We gather the edges a little to fasten the elements together. We sew the parts, retreating 1 cm from the edge to the semicircular side parts. Sew on the lining. We insert a plastic strip inside between the base and the lining to give it shape. We fix the clasp by carefully passing the thread into each hole and securing it from the inside out.
Important!
Models
The ideal clutch for the bride should be harmoniously combined with the outfit and shoes, and also be roomy enough to fit the necessary little things - a phone, lipstick, wet wipes, etc.
Rectangular clutch
A handbag with a clear rectangular shape is an ideal choice for a laconic wedding look. It looks great with a sheath dress or a pantsuit. The clutch may have a long chain handle, but this is not necessary.
A clutch with minimal decor is ideal for such a strict and elegant look. The bag can be held in your hand or under your arm. And if the clutch has a chain handle, then it can be hung on your lecho. The advantage of this model is that the handbag can be used in the future; it will fit perfectly into any evening look.
What should I take with me?
- Mobile phone;
- Regular and matting wipes;
- Mini-comb, hairpins, bobby pins to straighten your hair;
- A mirror and some cosmetics (powder, mascara and lipstick) to quickly correct your makeup if necessary;
- Eau de parfum to refresh your look;
- Plaster (unworn shoes can greatly ruin your mood);
- Hygiene products.
Important! Don’t take a lot of things with you - give some items to your mother, sister, bridesmaid (thread and needle, spare tights, light shoes without heels and medicine).
How to choose?
Wedding clutches are very beautiful and varied, so choosing a handbag can be difficult. The bride will benefit from advice from stylists:
- If you purchased a lush dress, embroidered with pearls and crystals, then it is better to choose a modest clutch without decoration. Otherwise, the image may turn out to be too “overloaded”.
- Does the dress have a laconic cut and minimal decor? Then you can safely choose a clutch with pearls, silk flowers and ribbons.
- For a dress made of shiny fabric, you should choose a handbag made of matte leather or suede, but if the fabric is crepe, then stylists recommend purchasing a model made of patent leather.
Stylish wedding accessories
At a wedding, every detail should be thought out to the smallest detail!
If you are afraid of bad weather, then pay attention to stylish umbrellas. Then a wedding photo shoot in the rain will definitely not ruin your mood, and the photos will be beautiful and original. For a wedding, you can choose an umbrella with a transparent dome or an openwork texture. Multi-colored umbrellas sewn from different scraps look interesting. Let nothing overshadow the most fabulous day of your life! Happy shopping with Bag Empire! Share:
Brands
The bride can choose a branded clutch from the most fashionable designers. Thus, Christian Louboutin offers a luxurious handbag that will delight lovers of floral motifs. A small round handbag on a long chain with pearls has an original design; its upper part resembles a bouquet of white peonies. And the lower part of the bag is decorated with a decorative tassel made of silk threads. To make this elegant accessory, the designer used ivory satin. The bag was called “Paradise Peony”.
Another interesting master class
Let's look at a master class on how to make a wedding handbag with your own hands. We make 4 semicircular blanks from fabric: two satin and two openwork. We have a pattern for a wedding handbag. Sew the side seams. We turn the top and hem it. In the middle we make two seams for the handle. Stepping back 3 cm from the edge, we lay two lines and insert a satin ribbon there to tighten it. We make handles from the same tape. We decorate with butterflies and flowers - you can make them yourself.
We cut out small circles and fold them in four, gather the edges with a thread and tighten them. The result is a petal. There should be 5 or 6 of these petals. We connect them together, and glue a bead or rhinestones to the middle. We fasten them in the place where the tie will be. And now your unique DIY wedding handbag is ready! We show a photo of one of the design options not for exact copying, but as an example, of course, you can experiment and add your own elements.

Features of making a leather pattern
For a leather bag, you can use an old item or buy scraps of thin leather, but the manufacturing process will not be easy, so it is important to use the following tips:
- To get an even base, the leather can be ironed with a not very hot iron from the wrong side.
- To give the base rigidity, it can be treated with a special spray and then ironed.
- The seams are first connected with double-sided tape or glued and then stitched. This way you can ensure the immobility of the element.
- It is difficult to sew individual parts of the product. To facilitate this purpose, each seam must be “tapped” with a hammer. The material becomes softer, the needle enters easier during stitching.
For any model you need to create a pattern. Beginning fashion designers should remember that sharp corners on leather products are difficult to achieve, so all lines should be smooth. You can draw such a line using a pattern. Based on the pattern, templates are prepared from hard paper, according to which all the leather parts are cut out, this makes it easier to work.

When creating clothes and accessories, the Simone Rocha brand uses light shades and romantic designs that emphasize the femininity and tenderness of its owner. The bags are made primarily of faux pearls and clear crystal-shaped beads. Such models are suitable for the classic image of a bride in milky white tones.

If you need a purse for your phone, money and an extra pair of stockings, then when purchasing, ask the seller to put the selected items in the purse. This way you can see how it looks from the outside and decide whether you have chosen the right size.

History of bags
Let me deviate a little from the topic!
Ever since a person had something valuable, handbags have become an integral part of life.
Although historical evidence shows that the Egyptians only wore pouches around their waists in the 14th century. And the richer the person was, the more jewelry and embroidery adorned the bag.
During the 16th century, leather handbags became more practical to use. And in the 17th century, both men's and women's wallets became fashionable. Handbags with embroidery were intended for young brides and were a necessary accessory.
Women of the 18th century feared that a purse could ruin the appearance of their dresses. Each outfit came with its own pouch designed to hold fragrance bottles, face powder, blush and other items.
More complex fittings and locks were added in the 1990s. In the 1940s, plastic and wood were used to make handbags, as materials such as leather, mirrors and metal frames were rare.
Wedding Bag Styles
There are four main styles of handbags for brides.
- Wallets. These bags have no straps and are usually made of satin or silk with an inner lining.
- Vintage handbag. So named because it is made from elegant designs and decorated with stones, beads and crystals. Can be made of metal - with a shoulder strap.
- Structured. Made from satin or silk. This style of handbag has metal handles and a stable bottom.
- Drawstring bag. There is a satin, lace or silk handbag. Must match the dress and be worn on the arm. Embroidery, material flowers, and pearls can be added. An elegant and comfortable handbag will suit any bride.
Wedding handbags can be decorated with materials like beads, crystals, lace, ribbons, gemstones and sequins, as well as flowers made of material or silk.
Once you decide that you must have a handbag, choose a style that matches or complements your dress and adds elegance.
So, you have a purse and now you need to think about what to put in it. You can choose a couple of items listed “just in case” that are more important to you.
- Handkerchief
- Telephone
- Money
- Lipstick
- Face powder
- Compact mirror
- Tiny sewing kit
- Nail file
- Perfume
- Spare pair of stockings
- Painkiller
These are just a few suggestions for any bride.
Just a couple of hours and your stylish handbag is ready
Today there are many handbags that you can make yourself.
Bag – Pompadour
A bag that is completed in one hour. Without an expensive sewing machine, you can sew it yourself using different fabrics. Also choose decorations to suit your taste: beads, sparkles, flowers.
Making a template is easy. Cut out a circle and a rectangle from a sheet of paper. Using the templates, cut out one rectangular and two round pieces from the selected fabric. The latter are used for the bottom of the bag.
To ensure that the bottom does not bend and is strong, place a circle of cardboard between the two round parts and stitch the seam using a sewing machine.
After the bottom of the bag is ready, you need to iron it with a steam iron through gauze or cotton fabric.
The next step is to sew a rectangle of fabric from the short side. Then sew to the bottom on the sides and iron again.
Now bend the top edge 2 cm, either by machine or by hand. Make a cut to insert a cord or ribbon that will tighten the bag. Finish the cut with an overcast stitch. Now decorate the product with sparkles, beads, rhinestones, flowers, jewelry, etc.
It should be noted that such a mini handbag will make you a queen.
Handbag in the form of an envelope
Recently, many brides prefer an envelope. If you are a creative person, you can create an original and unique handbag with your own hands. And in the future you will also be able to use it.
To sew an envelope, you will need thick material. Leather works well. To fix the fabric, use special glue to connect the base to the top.
Buckles and other little details will make even the most ordinary thing glamorous. The main thing is imagination. By the way, some brides even sew on their own jewelry.
It is better to make a medium rectangle in size (length 30 and width 15 cm).
To avoid damaging the fabric, fold the envelope with paper first. After several attempts, start cutting the fabric according to the chosen shape. Glue it to the cardboard blank. Wait until your creation dries. If you want, you can make an inner lining. It is attached using contact adhesive.
Now fold the blank into an envelope. On the sides, embroider strips of fabric or leather no more than 4 cm wide. You can use a magnetic buckle or Velcro to secure the cover. All this is sold in specialized stores.
If you plan to carry the purse over your shoulder, make a strap from a thick piece of fabric or a metal chain. Congratulations, your chic DIY accessory is finally ready.
Crocheted Bridal Bag
Those who prefer crocheting can choose this option for creating a bag. You will need knitting yarn chosen to match the dress. You also need plastic or cardboard paper to give rigidity, silk ribbon or a thick cord of gold or silver thread.
Knit two circles with a diameter of 20 cm. In the last two rows, make holes for the bag handles. Cut out circles from cardboard or plastic equal to the knitted shapes.
Sew knitted parts. Leave a small hole for inserting cardboard or plastic. Then fold in half. You will get a semicircle. Sew the edges on both sides. Decorate the product with ribbons, beads, artificial flowers. The handle of the bag can also be tied.
