From sophisticated clutches to classic cross-body bags, Aspinal of London has launched some seriously chic accessories for brides, bridesmaids and beyond.
Details are what makes a wedding. Elaborate seating charts, home-made alcoholic favours, embroidered napkins, couple-branded beer bottles – the level of minutia brides are able to dream up ahead of their big day is somewhat staggering. Yet there is one detail a little closer to home that can often get lost in the mix – wedding accessories. Finding the perfect dress, tux or jumpsuit will likely be one of the first things an eager bride adds to her to-do list, but finding the right accessories to accompany is just as important - none so much as your wedding bag.
In the grand scheme of wedding planning, the bridal bag may seem like a minor detail but, in reality, it should take precedence over all other accessories. Why? This tiny yet essential piece serves as a functional and fashionable companion throughout the entire wedding day. Think about it: when you’re weeping over your partner’s handwritten vows, who wants to wait for someone else to scrap around the bottom of their handbag for a tissue? A mascara stream waits for no-one. Therefore, brides require a bag that can not only carry the essentials she needs within reach at all times like lipstick, tissues, and a compact mirror, but also look chic enough to offset the most important look she’ll likely wear in her lifetime. No mean feat, but entirely possible thanks to Aspinal of London’s new bridal collection.
Known for their exquisite leather craftsmanship and attention to detail, it should come as no surprise that Aspinal of London has created a range of wedding-worthy designs suited to brides, bridesmaids and beyond. These bags have been meticulously crafted using timeless wedding-worthy materials such as ivory white satin, layering them up with luxurious leather, and delicate embellishments, for a timeless look that will last long beyond the big day. And when you're done picking out your preferred arm accessory, you'd do well to explore the other little details they've turned their attention to - pearl earrings, 'something blue' aquamarine jewellery, and even some retro white cat eyes sunglasses (our personal favourite).
Whether it's a small clutch for an intimate ceremony or a statement tote for a grand affair, we’ve pinpointed the best Aspinal of London bags to suit every bride and wedding style. We’ve even included some glitzier options ideally suited to an evening costume change (or two). With the options laid out ahead, that should give you more time to get back to your pressing wedding admin – like Pinteresting and plotting even more details for the day.
Aspinal of London Cream Mini Paris Bag in Ivory Pebble
£495.00
Inspired by the trapeze silhouette, the Mini Paris Bag is the perfect minimalistic addition to your bridal wardrobe. Handcrafted from the finest, full-grain leather, we can see this fitting in particularly well at a chic city hall wedding.
Aspinal of London Mini Mayfair in Ivory
£550.00
This classic Aspinal of London shape has been shrunk down to a petite size that can still fit those all-important essentials. We're envisioning this one with tailoring.
Luna Clutch
£1250.00
The Luna Clutch is a serious standout; a half-moon clutch bag offset by decorative pearls to drape around the wrist for an achingly-pretty finish. The ultimate evening accessory, or a beautiful addition to a princess gown.
Micro Lottie in Ivory
£450.00
Miniature in size but mighty on style, our Micro Lottie crossbody bag is designed to carry your barest of essentials on the big day. Handcrafted, as always, from the finest full-grain leather and lined in our signature grosgrain, this best-selling silhouette would look unbelievably beautiful with a blazer and skirt combo at a registry.
Micro Hat Box Deep Shine Ivory Small Croc
£450.00
This tiny retro icon is one of our personal favourite. The curves feel particularly feminine, meaning it will work with the prettiest of dresses while adding a timeless vintage touch.
Small Makeup Bag
£115.00
Before you've even made it down the aisle, there's likely a photographer who will be capturing shots as you get ready with your girl gang. Don't let that lens land on a manky make-up bag covered in concealer stains - instead, trade it in for a glamorous bridal cosmetic case. It's the perfect size to hold your favourite make-up, brushes and everyday essentials, in a chic white lizard finish that was made to be papped.
