Supposedly, tomorrow is the day you’ll walk down the aisle with charm! You have spent months waiting and preparing for this day, and you expect everything to happen without a hitch. From the wedding dress to jewellery to flowers to décor, everything is set up and you’re ready to glitter.
Though however big or small an event, some mishaps are inevitable — and your wedding day is bound to have it. But, that doesn’t mean you bring your charm down on this once-in-a-lifetime day.
You just need small handy solutions to small mishappenings and tiny impediments. These items will be helpful in case you need them while you are getting ready, after-function festivities, or mid-function bad luck.
You can keep these Bridal Emergency Kit items stored in your clutch or a reception ready bag. It will give you a sense of relief and ease knowing that you have gears ready in case something comes up.
1. Tiny Hand Sanitisers
Hand Sanitiser is a must-have for your big day. Be it a pandemic or not, this small emergency item should be in your bridal emergency kit list as well in the clutch.
Don’t go for boring old sanitisers bought from medical stores, rather opt for a custom one from any of your local aesthetic stores.
These hand sanitisers are also a great wedding favour for your guests that will remind them of your wedding day.
2. Instant stain remover pens
An instant stain remover or wipe should be visible in your clutch (or wedding day prep arsenal, as you may call it!).
No matter how much care you take of your beautiful worn gowns, lehengas and cholis, someone or you yourself can spill something over the course of gaiety.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to have a wand that vanishes all the stains in no time on-the-go, maintaining the beauty of your attire.
3. Gold plated Safety Pins
Gold plated safety pins in your bridal emergency kit can save your day for any fashion emergency, from a broken strap to an accidentally torn hemline.
Just make sure you have a range of sizes available to hide the pin from explicit oddness.
Also, why Gold Plated Pins? To blend it with glitter and shimmering attire — gold plated pins can pair up with any attire easily without looking an odd one out element, like silver ones.
4. Makeup Auxiliaries
Even if you are donned with professional makeup, keeping a handy emergency makeup backup in your kit is a good idea. You’ll often find its use after your bridal wedding entry dance sessions, or long sitting at wedding stages.
The items we recommend to have are mascara, lipstick, a tiny compact kit, and lip colour. These things can be your saviour to glow throughout function in your pictures.
5. A Lip Balm
You don’t realise the need for a lip balm until you direly need it. A lip balm is a classic to keep in your bridal emergency kit to feel refreshed after long hours of Thanksgiving and sitting on the couple stage.
6. Hairspray
You’ll be needing this handy bottle throughout the day, as you’ll want to touch your hair and you need them to be in the place.
Additionally, hairspray can be used as a static guard when needed!
Therefore, it holds a crucial space in your special reception bag or clutch for your bridal emergency kit.
7. Portable Steamer
A portable steamer is essential for getting out wrinkles in your dress — or your spouse’s dress. You’d be wanting this bridal emergency kit item to use in between lunch breaks — flashing out any creases and wrinkles which got on your attire throughout shenanigans and rituals.
8. Medicine
Medicine tablets are crucial to have for a long wedding day. You may need them for any uneasy reasons.
Put some tablets of Crocin, Anta-acids, and Non-drowsy allergy medicines in your bridal emergency kit (in case you need any one of them, or follow your specific prescriptions). Also, don’t forget to have Band-Aids!
