Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

Just wondering if it looks strange to carry a purse as you walk down the aisle - for moms?

I think my mom should just leave her purse in the bridal suite...what do you think ladies?

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

Wow good question. So if your mom does not carry it in the church....does someone hold it for her?

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's a nice bag that compliments her dress.

That's fine, the flowers are a matter of preference.....my mom didn't want a corsage....

I think she just put her bag in the pew she was sitting in before the ceremony started......I'm not too sure....

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

I'm pretty sure my mom did. What does it really matter, though?
Ok, found a pic. She did. I don't see why anyone would even notice this, though.

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

Someone could just bring it to her seat for her if she wants to have it during the ceremony and you don't want it in the pics...

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

That makes total sense...her purse shouldn't be walking down the aisle with her....she can stash it somewhere or have someone hold it for her entrance. Not at all a crazy request either.

i like your mom's dress. i know FH's mom will be in a much more conservative dress per the request of FFIL...but I know my mom will get something more like your mom's....i was slightly worried that she shouldn't, but your mom looks great!

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

My mom wore it down the aisle for my brother's wedding. It went with her dress and it looked amazing. It definitely was part of the outfit. I am not sure what she plans on doing for my wedding, but either way it really does not matter to me. Whatever she wants to do. I don't even think anyone noticed she walked down with it for my brother's wedding.

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

Seeing as our ceremony and reception are both outdoors and there will be no place to 'lock' anything up, my mom, in addition to everyone else, doesn't have a choice! But thank you for giving me something else to think about... what are my bm's gonna do...

Re: Did your mom carry her purse down the aisle?

I want my mom to leave it on the limo...and she said no (she said it doesn't feel complete) I look it looks terrible! (But what am I going to do?) I would lock it up!
