BRIDAL BAGS, a plenty

Most of us are at a time in our lives where a lot of friends are either married or engaged. I for one, have been attending a lot of weddings. As a creative person, I tend to pay attention to the small stuff and so it got me thinking...do brides really use a purse on their Big Day?

And if so, what do they put in it? Isn't that what a Maid Of Honor is for? I asked several friends and strangers alike this question--only because I've never seen any bride carry a purse--and sure enough everyone I asked reported that yes, they did tote along a bag that day. The contents of which mainly included lip gloss, a handkerchief, cell phone, a compact and breath mints.
