Frequently Asked Questions
Who buys the bridesmaid clutches?
Whether these clutches are a bridesmaid gift or a replacement for a bouquet, it is the responsibility of the bride to buy them. The bridesmaids should never be expected to pay for these as they are not a mandatory part of their wedding day ensemble.
What do you put in a bridesmaid clutch?
If the bride is giving these clutches out as a gift, she may put other small trinkets in them like sunglasses, a compact mirror, and/or lipgloss. On the wedding day, bridesmaids may choose to use their clutch to hold essentials like their phones, keys, money, etc.
What can you get your bridesmaids instead of clutches?
Instead of a clutch, you can opt for giving your bridesmaids a less formal, but similarly sized makeup/cosmetic bag. If you’re looking for a larger option to hold more items, consider a tote or duffle bag.
