Feature Friday: Wedding Day Emergency Kit

This month we have been talking about having Plan B for the rain, the unforeseen natural disaster scenario or the unfortunate case where a vendor has to close up shop.  Today I want to talk with you about being prepared for the little items that can be overlooked on the day of your wedding.  Any wedding planner carries an emergency bag with them, which contains quick fixes for your day.  Just in case you may not have a planner present, these are some items I recommend you getting for your wedding day:

• Rubbing Alcohol:  Just in case you get some lipstick on your dress, you can use rubbing alcohol and gently blot that stain out.
• Baby Powder: Can be used to get last minute stains out of that white dress.
• Sewing Kit: Just in case that hem comes out of place and you need a quick fix or one of the bridesmaid dresses is in need of some repairment.
• Masking Tape:  If you’re not a sewer and a hem becomes loose, then masking tape will be your new best friend.
• Bottle of Super Glue: This is a great quick fix for a broken nail, bead work, or jewelry.
• Clear Tape: After taking all those pictures before the wedding , flowers can get a little wear and tear.  Clear tape is great for fixing flowers.
• Bobby Pins: Even though you have a 100 of these in your hair, trust me you always can use more.  
• Clear Nail Polish:  This can be used for a snag in your stockings, a quick fix for a chipped nail or even for a scratch for leather shoes.
• Breath mints or Gum:  This may not seem like an emergency item at first, but almost every bride ask me for a mint right before they walk down the aisle.
• Eye Lash Glue:  If you are getting fake eyelashes make sure you have some back up glue, just in case you start crying and those lashes start coming off.
• Standard Items: Be sure to have Advil, Acid relief medicine, spray deodorant, hair spray, shout wipes, nail polish remover, lady products, tissues, earring backs, brush, and a lint roller.

If you are feeling a little overwhelmed by gathering all these items, don’t worry you can also now purchase these kits online.  Let us know what would be your must-have item for your emergency day kit.
