Why Have A Clutch?

Clutches are a must have bag for the bride, bridal party, and the guests.

Clutches tend to be slightly smaller than a handbag that can easily be held in one hand, perfect for hiding in photos if wanted but ideal for keeping the essentials in.

A contemporary bride may want to keep a clutch with her to keep make up near by for touch ups, or even a mobile phone to capture moments from the day.

At Paradox London, we have our Bride box clutch, which is a perfect clutch for the modern bride.

The Bride bag is a statement piece made for the modern bride in mind.

Unlike other clutch bags, the Bride clutch is made from sturdy but stylish acrylic which will keep your things secure and safe whilst looking fabulous, perfect for the on the go bride.

How Can I Choose A Perfect Clutch?

A perfect clutch does not necessarily have to match your wedding dress, it could just compliment your ensemble.

For example, it could match your bridesmaids’ gowns or the style and tone of your gown.

At Paradox London, we even offer a dying service for clutch bags in certain materials.

Some brides may worry that choosing a colour matched bag will look outdated.

However, if you are a bride with bright flowers, this would work to bring the colour into your look.

Or if your bridesmaids are wearing a soft pastel colour, this would work beautifully.

We offer our Darla clutch bag, made in gorgeous ivory satin with modern pleats for a chic look.

This is a perfect match with our Protea court shoe, made in the same dyable satin with same pleating at the front, essential for making a statement!

When choosing a perfect clutch, another important aspect is the size and thinking about what you really need for the big day.

A slightly smaller bag is always better as it can be hidden in photos and will not be too much effort to carry around all day.

Remember, your bridesmaids will also be carrying around handbags, so they will be able to fit items in that you may not be able to.
