Your wedding day is one of the most special moments of your life, filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories. While you’ve meticulously planned every detail, unexpected mishaps can still happen. That’s where the trusty wedding day emergency kit (and your coordinator) comes in, packed with essentials to tackle any last-minute hiccups. Here we will delve into what, in our experience, every bride should pack to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible on their special day.
The Essentials:
Beauty Must Haves
Yes, your makeup artist will provide what you need for your wedding day, but it never hurts to keep some of your favourite essentials at hand just in case, like lipstick, powder, and blotting papers for touch-ups throughout the day.Here we are also talking about perfume, if you choose to wear it, it could even be a unique fragrance you choose especially for the big day, just don’t forget to bring at least a mini bottle of it for quick touch-ups if needed throughout the long day.
Whether it’s a stray strand or a sudden frizz attack, hair emergencies can also arise. Pack hair ties, bobby pins, hairspray, and a small comb to keep your locks picture-perfect all day long, even after your hairstylist is long gone.
Wardrobe malfunctions are every bride’s nightmare, but fear not! Pack safety pins, fashion tape, and a small sewing kit to tackle any unexpected rips or tears. And let’s not forget a comfortable change of shoes for dancing the night away (you can choose not to wear it, but it won’t hurt to bring one, so you have the option).
Health and Wellness
It’s crucial to stay hydrated and energized amidst the whirlwind of activities. Pack a bottle of water, maybe a Gatorade, little snacks, pain relievers, and some mints to keep you feeling refreshed and ready to embrace every moment, including the long photoshoots walking around chasing the perfect shot.
Minor cuts, blisters, or headaches can pop up unexpectedly. Be prepared with a small first aid kit containing band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relief medication to keep discomfort at bay.
Miscellaneous Marvels
Keep all important documents such as vendor contacts, timelines, a printed copy of your vows and your marriage license in a waterproof folder for easy access. It’s also handy to have a list of emergency contacts on hand.
In today’s digital age, technology can leave you hanging when you least expect. Pack a portable phone charger, extra batteries for any gadgets, and a backup playlist just in case.
You never know what unexpected situations may arise, so it’s wise to be prepared for anything. Consider packing items like a stain remover pen, tissues, a small umbrella, and even some spare cash for any unforeseen expenses.
Your wedding day should be full of excitement, love, and celebration, not avoidable stress. While you can’t control every detail, having a well-stocked wedding day emergency kit ensures you’re prepared for whatever comes your way. By packing these essentials, you can relax and enjoy every precious moment of your special day, knowing that you’ve got everything under control. So, grab your emergency kit and get ready to say “I do” with confidence!
