 No one
bride can do without these terrific details that so nicely and strikingly
complement her wedding costume, at the same time hiding drawbacks and
emphasizing advantages as the bride's
bag. Every such item is assigned to make a bride more styled, thus giving more
positive emotions to her and may be more glamorizing her wedding day. Now we
will have a talk about the bride's bag which is very likely the hot topic of
discussions.
So, whether
the bride needs a bag? This topic is under discussion at various forums, sites,
at the wedding saloons... but no one brought to a single conclusion. So, we
will consider all «pros» and «cons» in regards of this accessory.
«Pros»:
A bride can
keep all accessories necessary for the ceremony like the main set of cosmetics
(lipstick, rouge...), rings, and mobile telephone in such a tote. It is
possible to do without the telephone, though at the wedding day the phones are
ringing off the hook to congratulate on the wedding. Moreover, it is very easy
and convenient to get connected with mom, or friend or toastmaster (underline
as appropriate), to have the chance to cope with small organizational issues,
and so forth.
By the way,
do you happen to know that the Europeans do not operate the term «bride's bag»?
When they talk about the similar item, then it is a desk bag. The bag that the
bride does not have on her but leaves it at the festive table instead next to
her and when necessary the bride takes it to the bathroom. Also there are
special «bride rooms» at the places for celebration of weddings with such a
bag. However, from practical point of view such use of a bride bag can cost you
a «fortune». Just imagine, why the bag if it is left in a separate room and
nobody sees it? (This particular conflict may be referred to the «against» list).
Many
brides, now wives, share their experience on use of the bride bag. They say
that they planned to have a honey moon or departure somewhere just after the
wedding, and they kept all tickets and passports in the bag. Providing that you
are in the close circumstance they advise that you do the same as them. It is
much more reliable than to have them kept with others since they may get lost
or you risk forgetting them finally.
And just to
the topic it is worth saying that many brides find it convenient to charge the
witness, moms, or friend to have everything on them. But... the tote is always
under the hand, and them - are not! :) Therewith, they will have to seek for a
bag to hide all this «stuff». As an option, you may put everything in the
pocket of the husband-to-be though it is not so nice to celebrate such a
splendid day with full pockets. Being aware of all these aspects, a bag is
undoubtedly the best way out.
Also many
ladies buy a bad in advance, considering the «upcoming» use of it not only for
the wedding purpose but in the everyday life as an evening garment, for
instance. And, if you are allowed to wear a wedding dress only for your wedding
(for a wonder :)), then the wedding shoes, jewelry and a bag may be used later
on. And the most important thing is that the debut with such a bag should take
place at the wedding otherwise the effect of the «new item» will get lost.
«Cons»:
The first
issue you face when seriously addressing «do I really need it?» is a price of
the bag, certainly. If the bag is especially for the wedding, meaning that you
do not intend to use it afterwards, rather from the wedding saloon, then this
accessory will cost you a bomb. Though this item is more practical to buy at
the wedding saloon since it goes with the shoes or a wedding gown to match, as
a rule, and the wedding costume will look more styled and harmonic, the cost of
this set is still too high for the average salary. However, on the other hand,
following the ceremony you may want to sell it either pick up an option to
match your wedding costume and the evening gown.
If you strictly
want to wear accessories to match your wedding dress then you should be
cautious and not to go too far. Too many accessories look too ridiculous and if
you are close to the same situation you'd better quit the bag. Less is more
than the risk to look as a Christmas tree.
A mobile
telephone, some make-up, a mirror, the rings, and bear in your mind that you
have to carry your tote for the whole day, therefore your hand, in particular
your wrist (and this is the exact place to carry the bag) may easily get tired
with it. And so many brides find a way out of this situation - they buy a bag
to match the style of the witness or friend (the bag is especially bought to
match the dress of the latter), and so she undertakes to «keep» «all
necessities» of the bride.
