I write as a bride to be and a somewhat baffled one at that!
Why don’t brides carry handbags? Where do all the bags go? What do women do with their lippi and comb on this the most important day of our lives?
As we stand, sit, stoop, dance, or eat – we are caught by a camera lense! Everyone is expected to marvel at our beauty and appearance. Yet how is this achieved without our trusty handbag? Surely on this of all days our handbag needs to be at our side as much (some might say more) than the newly acquired hubby!
As a ‘forty something’ first time bride-to-be, I will be dispensing with matrons of honour, bridesmaids or any other variety of that species. I won’t be dependant upon friend or mother to escort me to the loo every time I need to freshen up. So, my search for something cream, silk, vintage and expensive begins. I’ll let you know what takes shape as I switch out ivy and lilies for Balenciaga or Bottega.

I bought a beautiful 1950′s evening bag with a perspex handle- one of a kind.
