I would customize the clutches so that they are ivory in color with an ivory flower on the outside. The interior would be royal blue to give it a nice pop of color. I'd add the wristlet to make it easy to carry around.

I really liked the clutch with the ruffles on the side and the buttons down the middle. I thought that it would go with the overall vintage look. I would customize them to be in a warm yellow or orange instead of the ivory.

I was totally planning on getting my bm clutches, I love these! I have 8 bridesmaids so this giveaway would be a great start. My 2011 wedding colors are gray, black, ivory and hydrangea green. I would customize the clutch for my bm by doing a black body ruffle folder over style with silver ruffle and by adding a white silk and tulle embellished flower (with pearls in the center for a true southern female). Then add a fun green print inside with initials and our wedding date. To coordinate with the bm I would do a white clutch with silver ruffle and same white flower for myself the bride. You have to add the wristlet to make it an everyday or night accessory!

I am in love with these clutches! My favorite would have to be the bow fold over clutch! I'm doing a very traditional black and white wedding with red accents (shoutout to Katherine- I loved your b&w wedding!), so the ideal clutch to go with my black bridesmaid dresses would be the bow clutch with an exterior black fabric, white bow, white trim, and a red lining to add that pop of fun and sexiness!
Thanks for the giveaway BabbsBoutique and SW!

I LOVE these Clutches!! I am a huge supporter of Etsy, so to find this on here was amazing!! I have 3 Bridesmaids and 1 MOH, so these would be such a special thank you gift for them to show how much I appreciate all their help, hard work, and participation in our Special day!! I would customize each one differently to show their personal styles. Our wedding colors are a few different shades of green and pink. Love the ruffle outline (this would work great for Kassy's modern side), the bow I would choose for Lindy (she has a very sophisticated style), the ruffled fold over design (that belongs to Natalie! She's spunky and classy rolled into one!) and last but not least my MOH Mandy would get the Poof!! She is fun, funky, and loud! And the POOF screams that!! All of these accents would be in fuschia and light pink with the clutches being silver! I would also include a special message to each one and maybe add a lil bling for them to wear on the BIG day inside as an extra surprise! Thank you so much for presenting this opportunity for Brides! Its hard to come up with creative ways to make your bridesmaids feel special and not just give them an ordinary ole gift! These would be perfect!!

I just adore the scallop foldover clutch! For my 'maids I'd get the clutches in black and make sure there's an emerald rosette on the corner since the girls' dress colors are emerald green and the wedding colors are emerald, black, and white/silver. They're dramatic, but DEFINITELY use-again-and-again friendly, and truly the perfect bridesmaid gift!

oh my goodness! I am using scallops and stripes for my wedding decor so naturally the scallop fold over clutch would be PERFECT! I'd either pick a yellow or navy bow. Oh, they are so cute!

I LOVE these clutches. My bridesmaids' dresses are actually made from dark brown dupioni silk so the BabbsBoutique clutches would complement them perfectly. I would probably customize it by using the Dark Champagne dupioni with a dark brown contrasting fabric. Not only would they be great for my girls for the wedding but they could most definitely use the clutch over and over!

These clutches would be just the right accessory for my bridesmaids! My maids are wearing different styles of long Amsale dresses in slate blue. My vision is for each clutch to be different so I can match the unique styles and personalities of each one. The bow would be great for that preppy southern girl and the flower is perfect for some of my fashion - forward girlfriends. I'd love to have the clutches in champagne and incorporate a pop of contrasting color in parrot green or silver blue. The finishing touch - once I got the clutches, I would have them embroidered on the inside flap to include a special message to my dearest friends.

The clutches are fantastic! I love the vintage feel that some of them have--which is something I am going for with my wedding style. My wedding colors are celadon/sage green, gold, and cream. I love the silk pleated clutches that she has designed, so I would start with that in a cream color. have a narrow band of the green silk where the hem line for the pleats are with vintage looking rhinestones on it that are set in tarnished-looking gold. I also love the chains--that is a must! The lining on the inside could bring in more of the deep gold color. Y'all are awesome!

The bow fold over clutch is UNREAL. I think that it would describe both myself and my bridesmaids in a way that many other potential bridesmaids gifts could not do. I would actually love to make it in a sunset rose with an aqua blue bowcombination. Sounds a little wild, but when my colors are peachy coral and light turquoise - man, I sound more particular than I really am! - I think it would be a fun and memorable way to remind them of my colors, while also giving them something they could wear again with their dresses. These clutches are so fun. I would love them in any color... I might just have to get one for myself... ;)

Babbs Boutique clutches are absolutely lovely. I have a peacock themed wedding and I would customize the clutches to be navy blue on the outside, and lined inside with vivid plum or purple, with a small gathering of peacock feathers in the corner. Since I am wearing a dupioni silk dress, it would be great to have the clutches made out of the same material.

My bridesmaids are my best friends, I would love for them to have these little clutches!
