Monograms Adding the brides married monogram to the purse is an elegant way to personalize the bag If the bag is reversible it may be possible to put her maiden monogram on one side and her married monogram on the other so it can be switched after the wedding ceremony If the full monogram wont fit use a simple initial instead Fabrics Bridal purses come in several types of fabrics from cotton to matte satin to fine silk Generic bags can also be covered in any desired fabric and choosing cloth that matches the wedding dress similar lace or tulle for example adds sophisticated coordination to the purse Accents Elaborate accents can be added to a bridal purse to personalize it for the wedding A piece of lace a rosette that matches the bridal colors a butterfly or other themed details are quaint touchesEmbroidery is an easy way to personalize a purse Add the brides name the wedding date the location or just the word bride to the purse to add a more personal touch than a plain bag.
