Best Wedding Party Handbag Ideas
Of all the details that go into planning a wedding, the bridal party's day-of accessories are often some of the easiest to overlook. Dresses and hairstyles are extremely important, of course, but so are details like shoes, jewelry, and a purse. You'll want to have a few essentials within easy access for the entire event, including makeup for touch-ups, your cell phone, tissues for those inevitable emotional moments, car keys, and depending on the venue, possibly some cash for the bar.
Fortunately, all of these items will fit nicely into a smaller wedding party handbag, like a clutch or small crossbody, so you have plenty of options when searching for the perfect handbag. Perhaps you want to keep it subtle with something that complements your dress, or go with a bold option that highlights or even completely contrasts your outfit's details.
Either way, no one does handbags quite like Mary Frances. With one-of-a-kind designs that cover the spectrum from romantic to whimsical and impeccable attention to detail, Mary Frances is your one-stop shop for the best, most wow-inducing wedding party handbag ideas. Although there are dozens of fabulous options, here are five of our favorites for wedding season.

What could possibly be more perfect for a wedding party handbag than one adorned with decorated wedding cakes? With this elaborate handbag, you can truly have your cake and eat it too — not only is it an attractive head-turner, but it's functional, too. The vegan leather purse features a fixed top handle, removable chain strap for carrying as a crossbody, magnet closure, and an interior slip pocket for quick access to your cash or lipstick.
Bonjour Crossbody Clutch Paris Handbag
This romantic clutch is ideal as a wedding party handbag, especially for destination or themed weddings. After all, one of Paris' well-deserved nicknames is the "City of Love!"

The genuine leather sides provide a roomy interior for all your wedding day essentials and two strong magnet closures keep everything safe and secure. The back slit pocket is the perfect spot for your phone and the small inside pocket provides quick access to smaller items. The removable chain strap makes it easy to wear as a crossbody or a clutch.
Layers of Love Top Handle Cake Handbag
We already mentioned the Sugar on Top Cake Shop handbag, but this one really "takes the cake!"

Not only is it an excellent wedding party handbag, but it would work very well for any type of bridal event and even for the bride herself.

This novelty handbag, a swan with individually-decorated feathers and 3D beaded flowers, is both elegant and whimsical. The neutral colorway with a few accent colors in the flowers also works perfectly for complementing any wedding or event color scheme. Just be prepared for plenty of attention and compliments, because this one is truly a head-turner!
Sugar Coated Crossbody Handbag
This utterly chic handbag is perfect for wedding season, especially for the bridal party. The crossbody-clutch hybrid is covered in fringe, composed of crystals and beads that shimmer and shine with any movement. It's especially show-stopping on the dance floor or walking down the aisle!
