What Your Choice Of Bridal Bag Says About You - Part 2

Like wedding rings follow engagement rings, part 2 of this fab feature inevitably, and happily, follows part 1 (which, if you missed it, is here). The totally lovely Debbie Percy from Handbag Therapy has cast her expert eye over four more wedding day handbags and explains how your choice speaks volumes about you...

Above - "'Love knows no bounds' sums up our wedding bag of simplicity. But looks can be deceiving! If you are this bride's intended, grab her quick before she's gone! This bride loves to travel, she adores adventure and is always packed and ready to go. She'll breeze through her big day with ease but bridesmaids, be on guard. She's bound to have a surprise or two under her veil!" Image - Shefaly

Above - "'To have & to hold' and who wouldn't want to hold this charming clutch? From this day forth this bride will be kind through and through. She is tactful with others, full of forgiveness and loves to be in the company of like-minded pals. For her marriage to be all that it promises, her groom will need to be a decision maker and keep her feeling as though she is moving forward in life!" Image - Precious Bags

Above -"'Into the future we go' - a bride full of self expression and desire! A wonderfully tiered veil should accompany this bride to match the many layers of her personality. A woman of instinct, intuition and creativity. She'll be driven by a desire to know where she's going and how to get there with many questions along the way." Image - Rocks For Frocks

Above - "'You are my rock' - a wedding planner's dream bride! You'll see no flapping, hear no screaming and see not foot stomping! This is a bride who is stable & secure; grounded & down to earth. She loves practicalities and has a strong sense of self. When it comes to getting things done, she has more persistence than you can throw a bouquet at!" Image - Not On The High Street

What Your Choice Of Bridal Bag Says About You - Part 1

We know that we're all giving out signals all the time - how we stand, how we speak, how we dress and, in my case, how we wave our hands around when we're talking. But did you know your choice of handbag also speaks volumes?

I'm absolutely thrilled that the UK's only 'bagologist', the fabulous Debbie Percy from Handbag Therapy, is here to save you from making a bridal bag faux pas or to give you an insight into why you might have chosen a particular design and what that choice says about you! And of course, if you're off to a wedding as a guest, don't forget to check out the bride's bag and decipher the meaning.

So, here are the first four bags that Debbie has been casting her eye over for us (four more to come later!)...

Above -Debbie says "A dream come true - and this bride has a clear dream! She knows herself inside out and back again! She will be drawn to slightly unusual, even bizarre, ideas to bring her day to life and she'll want to be in on all the planning & details. She'll be a dream to work with knowing what she likes and what it will take for her day to be everything she'd hoped." Image - Vintage Bridal Jewellery

Above - Debbie says "I do - says it all for this bride whose focus is to have 'the wedding of all weddings. She'll insist on a wedding day packed with purity, perfection and style with a clear sense of her own desires. Above all, her light will shine brightly throughout the day and even if slip ups occur, nothing will spoil it; she remains positive and steadfast knowing 'it will be alright'."

Above -Debbie says "love me, love me not - whether you like it or not, this bride knows her mind! She is as she appears and expects sincerity back from others in equal measure. Her focus is selfless: all the day's details must meet the needs of her adored guests and groom. Above all, she'll create a day of beauty and balance." Image - Elbo

Above - Debbie says "Lady Luck is surely synonymous with the bride who carries a bag like this. Success and elegance will follow her up the aisle. Our bride to be will love having wedding 'dos and don'ts' and will be sure to have a few of her own! Expect some drama and extremes on the day and DON'T whatever you do hold anything back - this bride won't like surprises and secrets are totally taboo!" Image - Amazon
