Wedding Planning: Your Bridal Emergency Kit

Despite the best laid plans, things can go awry during your wedding day, but good planning can short circuit any potential  problems that may arise.

As you think of all the possible things that could solve any potential wedding day emergencies, put them in a basket. Ask your Maid of Honour to keep this kit readily available on your wedding day.

You will want to include fingernail polish for any quick fixes as well as for fixing a run in anyone’s stockings. Remember to also have a bottle of polish remover and some cotton balls just in case.

You’ll also want to include extra stockings, anti-static spray and spot remover. A sewing kit with thread to match the formal wear and gown would also be handy.

Grooming items like deodorant, facial tissues, talcum powder and a hair dryer, curling iron, mirror, brush, bobby pins and safety pins are also important additions.

Black socks and extra studs are also great to have on hand for any groomsmen who may require last minute assistance.

It is also important to have a list of all the wedding suppliers and the wedding party on hand.

Many brides and grooms forget the need for money on their wedding day for any last minute errands.  Payment due to your services on the day, should be in envelopes or paid in full as per your contracts. Review them and tender the bills for your vendors when you agreed on.

Being ready for anything is an art and the more you you trouble shoot before your big day;  the more efficient and ready you will be for almost anything.
