How I Chose the Best Wedding Clutches

As all brides know, each wedding is uniquely planned to their style, and your wedding clutch should reflect that. To choose the best wedding clutches, I researched top rated and popular bags at a range of price points, touching on top trends and picking out timeless options that could be carried on your honeymoon and beyond. I looked for clutches that were large enough to fit essentials but not too big that they’d be hard to carry or take up too much space on a table. I also consulted a few brides and brides-to-be on options they looked at for their own wedding day to help compile this list. 

20 ‘Non-Wedding’ Wedding Dresses for Every Type of Bride


Best Bow Wedding Clutch

1. Loeffler Randall Rayne Bow Pleated Clutch

What I Like

  • delicate pleated details
  • good size
  • removable chain

What I Don’t Like

  • organza exterior may be hard to spot treat if stained

Loeffler Randall

Loeffler Randall's bow heels have been spotted on everyone from Sophie Turner to Margot Robbie, and they've become a comfy wedding shoe staple among in-the-know guests, but I say the brand's bow clutch deserves just as much applause. It's a statement bag that isn't overwhelming. Featuring a detachable crossbody chain, it’s the perfect size for keeping your cell phone and emergency kit closeby, just in case. 

Best Detailed Wedding Clutch

2. Lulus Pearl Rhinestone Clutch

What I Like

  • scallop details
  • interior pocket
  • removable chain

What I Don’t Like

  • needs to air out before using

Lulus

It’s all in the details. The combination of faux pearls, round  rhinestones and beaded details create a scallop-like shape that is a dazzling addition to any wedding look. It’s quite roomy with a sidewall pocket,  and there’s a hidden magnetic closure that quickly snaps closed, so you can get on the dance floor faster. There’s even a detachable silver chain strap for a crossbody look. I think it would look stunning paired with a simple, clean-lined gown. 

Best Crystal Wedding Clutch

3. Boutique De FGG Flower Rhinestone Clutch

What I Like

  • intricate detailing
  • removable chain
  • statement piece

What I Don’t Like

  • on the smaller side

Boutique De FGG

If you’re planning on making an extra statement with your bridal clutch, this is the bag for you. Covered in rhinestone-studded roses (5,000 to be exact!), this bag is bound to shine throughout the night. It comes in a few sparkly color options to best match your wedding palette and there’s a removable silver strap. While it's on the smaller side, you can still use it to house your phone for quick access for photo snapping at cocktail hour.

Best Themed Wedding Clutch

4. Olga Berg Mrs. Glitter Acrylic Pod

What I Like

  • pretty marble look
  • solid and secure
  • bridal themed

What I Don’t Like

  • minimal uses

Olga Berg

Now here's an accessory that really underscores the day—and looks great in photos. This solid acrylic purse is eye-catching yet has enough space to hold a phone and wallet. You can opt to hold it throughout the night or wear it crossbody style, thanks to the removable strap. This would be a great bag for an engagement party or bridal shower, too.

Best Versatile Wedding Clutch

5. Kate Spade Gemma Crossbody

What I Like

  • scallop design
  • extra storage pockets
  • versatile uses

What I Don’t Like

  • a bit large for a clutch

Kate Spade Outlet

While you might not be able to wear your wedding dress again, you can definitely wear this scalloped crossbody again. The cream-colored clutch is effortless bridal, but functional enough to be used in your day to day life. It also has bonus storage, like 12 credit cards slots and a center zip coin compartment that will be helpful for keeping everything extra organized. 

Best Mini Wedding Clutch

6. Anthropologie The Frankie Mini Clutch

What I Like

  • inner slip pocket
  • easy to carry
  • shiny elements

What I Don’t Like

  • small size

Anthropologie

If you only want a clutch that can hold your phone and a lipstick, this one will come in clutch. Despite its small size, you can still keep organized thanks to the inner slip pocket, quick frame closure and the detachable strap. The shiny braided exterior also means that it will sparkle as much as you do on the big day.

Best Beachy Wedding Clutch

7. Tuckernuck Slouchy Clutch

What I Like

  • oversized look
  • beachy feel
  • chain can be tucked in

What I Don’t Like

  • only works with certain themes

Tuckernuck

If you plan to have a tropical destination wedding or even getting married on the beach, this raffia clutch adds a nautical flourish without going full "under the sea" kitsch. The lighter color of the textured bag still makes it seem bridal, and a chunky chain strap makes it easy to hold or can be tucked in for that full clutch look. It has an oversized slouchy look that will hold all your wedding day essentials without losing its shape over time.

Best Budget Wedding Clutch:

  • removable chain

What I Don’t Like

  • basic looking

Charming Tailor

For those who are already well past their initial wedding budget, this clutch adds sophistication without pushing things too far—aesthetically and financially. The simple oversized clutch has delightful pleated detailing paired with a detachable gold chain. It comes in several hues, but the champagne and white colors are especially bridal-appropriate.

Best Bubbly Wedding Clutch

What I Like

  • inexpensive
  • pleated details

Best Satin Wedding Clutch

10. Nina Ivory Satin Concord Clutch

What I Like

  • elegant
  • bedazzled clasp
  • easy to hold

What I Don’t Like

  • small capacity

Nina

A satin clutch with a bejeweled clasp is a classic option to complement your wedding dress. The versatile look will work with most wedding designs, providing a sense of understated elegance. Plus, the pleated frame makes it easy to keep hold of during the reception while you’re chatting away with your guests.

Best Beaded Wedding Clutch

11. Olga Berg Beth Encrusted Clutch

What I Like

  • beaded design
  • removable crossbody strap
  • knit overlay

What I Don’t Like

Olga Berg

Any lacy or beaded wedding dress would be complemented beautifully by this stunning floral beaded option. Just check out the delicate crochet knit overlay, which houses a crystal and acrylic pearl embellishment. And the satin interior? Talk about wow factor.

Best Hardshell Wedding Clutch

12. Mango Pearl-Effect Clutch Bag

What I Like

  • secure design
  • pearl-effect exterior
  • satin-lined interior

What I Don’t Like

  • doesn’t hold much

Mango

This clutch-meets-mini-bag combo has a shiny pearl exterior that’s made for any bride. It opens up completely in half to a satin-lined compartment that’s just large enough to house a phone and a few extra goodies. With a short strap that’s easy to hold, you won’t be dropping it on the dance floor, either.

Best Designer Wedding Clutch

13. YSL Uptown Clutch

What I Like

  • heritage brand
  • easy to hold
  • versatile beyond weddings

What I Don’t Like

  • expensive

YSL

The YSL Uptown Pouch is an iconic bag that would look stunning at any upscale venue. With the classic YSL logo atop an envelope-style clutch, the cream shade will go well with a white wedding dress. It’s a heritage bag that you’ll want to use well beyond the wedding day, as well.

Best Floral Wedding Clutch

14. Staud Tommy Garden Party Shoulder Bag

What I Like

  • vegan leather
  • zippered interior
  • beaded detailing

What I Don’t Like

  • not a true clutch

Staud

Staud is known for its intricately beaded bags, and this one is fit for a spring wedding. Featuring delicate, floral beaded detailing that isn’t too flashy, it has a magnetic snap closure and an additional zippered interior pocket to stash away smaller items safely. While it does have a vegan leather handle, it’s still small enough to be held as clutch if desired.

Best Champagne Wedding Clutch

15. Olga Berg Champagne Slimline Clutch

What I Like

  • different than white
  • metallic details
  • easy to close

What I Don’t Like

  • might not work for traditional looks

Olga Berg

A champagne-colored clutch is a great alternative to a traditional white or off-white bag. Clean lines and minimal hardware means it won’t overpower the dress but rather complement it, especially with its streamlined look.

Best Heart Wedding Clutch

16. Kate Spade Love Shack Heart Crossbody

What I Like

  • pearl handles
  • heart shape design
  • roomy interior

What I Don’t Like

  • a bit cheesy
  • might be too casual for some dress styles

Kate Spade

You can truly wear your heart on your sleeve—er, wrist—with this adorable heart-shaped bag. It has a removable leather strap to be worn as a crossbody, but we like the idea of using the pearl handle on a wedding day. The interior is quite roomy to boot, for those of us who need more than just their phones on hand.

Best Feather Wedding Clutch

17. Lulus Fabulous Arrival Feather Clutch

What I Like

  • fun and flirty
  • two strap options
  • inexpensive

What I Don’t Like

  • feathers can fall off

Lulus

There’s something fun and flirty about a feathered clutch, especially on your wedding day. Covered in long ostrich feathers, you’ll have the options to hold a thick pearl handle or use the thin silver crossbody strap. If you plan on having more of a party-style reception dress, this would be the perfect match.

Best Pearl Wedding Clutch

18. Babeyond Triangle Pearl Clutch 

What I Like

  • decked in pearls
  • affordable
  • a little extra

What I Don’t Like

  • small interior

Babeyond

If you want to be a bit extra on your wedding day, why not embrace pearlcore and deck out your look in them? With a small tassel to grab, you’ll have fun tossing this small bag around as you rush to the dance floor, knowing your goods are safe in the satin-lined interior.

Best Ruched Wedding Clutch

19. Nina Emmy Clutch

What I Like

  • holds a lot
  • soft detailing
  • removable chain strap

What I Don’t Like

  • too big for some

Nina

Soft, ruched pleats give this otherwise plain clutch some subtle definition. Plus, its 9-inch by 6-inch size means you’ll be able to stuff the essentials, as well as a hair clip and foldable flats in there. Even better, there’s an optional chain strap for hands-free carry.

Best Personalized Wedding Clutch

20. Fontem Personalized Rosa Clutch Bag

What I Like

  • sentimental 
  • holds a good amount
  • wedding gift potential

What I Don’t Like

  • customization time needed
  • expensive

Fontem

This personalized clutch makes for an incredible bridal shower gift she can relish in on her wedding day. It has a classic leather exterior, but the lining can be completely customized for the bride-to-be with a note from a loved one or even her wedding vows. Talk about the perfect wedding keepsake.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Bag Should a Bride Wear?

During the actual ceremony, a bag likely isn’t needed. But during the reception, it's worth keeping a clutch that can hold a few items but won’t get in her way of mingling with guests. It should be easy to hold, but if you'd like to keep your hands free, look for an option with a strap.

What Should You Store in a Wedding Clutch?

With minimal space inside a clutch, you need to think strategically about what you want to carry. Most likely, your clutch should be able to fit your phone, some cards/IDs, lipstick, tissues and a hair tie. If you have more space, a camera, small emergency kit and foldable flats (for when the heels become too much) are nice to include.
