TAmong all the 2023 wedding trends, there is one for all to see: the increasingly popular use of the bag to complement the wedding dress. A star habit that is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to the needs of women bride-to-be younger, who never separate from iPhone and lipstick. Not to mention the new precautions, from hand gel to mask, post pandemic.
Buy one wedding bag to complete the look, whether it’s a minimal, boho or princess dress, it is above all, of course, a detail of personal style. Just like choosing wedding shoes or wedding rings, choosing the right accessory is crucial.
The (useful) accessory for the bride who wants to stand out
«Nothing is more necessary than the superfluous», said the “romantic” Oscar Wilde. And to free the bridesmaids from slavery, who are usually entrusted with all the possessions of the bride-to-be, there’s nothing better than betting on a big day bag. White or a similar colour, from cream to pastels; the style, the same as the dress and exactly the opposite, for those who want to stand out. Better to focus on a piece to carry in the hand with a small handle or chain detachable, to be sure not to abandon it in rotation on the tables of all the guests.
Yes, because in terms of wedding bags the prices are quite high – even if there are some low-cost options, for budget-conscious brides determined to say yes to the irresistible whim.
The 2023 bridal bags trends
The trends of the 2023 wedding season in terms of wedding bag they are multiple. Starting from the classic clutch bag with chain or handle, which in 2023 is reinterpreted in the light of new trends: just think of the cult model Bon Bon Of Jimmy Choo, a small bucket with a metal bracelet or covered with sparkling crystals, also chosen by the new bride Barbara Palvin. An accessory that brings together different trends: the pouchindeed, the bag in satin fabric that looks like a pouch, refined and never banal (just think of the proposals, decorated or simple, in a thousand colors, of the made in Italy brand Halite).
