Hi, loves! Emma here. There are several wedding traditions some brides are opting out of, from veils to garters to traditional wedding dresses. But there’s one tradition that is a classic and will always be in style: the wedding handkerchief.

A handkerchief is not only a classic addition to your wedding purse; it’s a functional gift you’ll actually use.

Many brides wrap their wedding handkerchief around the handle of their bouquet to add texture, color, or simply to have it close at hand when/if needed.

As the bride, chances are you’ll have tears of joy on your wedding day. And instead of reaching into a clutch to grab tissues, a delicate handkerchief is a much prettier choice for wiping those tears.

And even if you think you won’t shed a tear or two, it’s still great to have a wedding handkerchief on hand, just in case. And while we’re on the topic, don’t forget to wear this, just in case! :)

Wedding Handkerchief

In addition to you needing a wedding handkerchief, do you know who else needs one?

Your mom!

A mother of the bride handkerchief makes a sweet gift for mom from the bride. The lovely set is available here.

Also, if you still need to add something blue to your accessories to follow the Something Old, Something New adage, this monogrammed wedding handkerchief is an easy way to do it.

Your initial is beautifully embroidered into your handkerchief and features delicate blue Swarovski crystals for a pop of something blue.

These beautiful handmade handkerchiefs are lovingly designed by Monica of Aristocrafts. You can buy them here.

Happy Planning!
