You’ve planned a flawless wedding and believe with all your
heart that it will go off without a hitch.
Your family has thought about and planned for any
eventuality. However, should “Murphy’s Law” show up, the wise bride and her
wedding consultant always have an emergency kit available.
What should go in your kit? These are the basic items we
recommend for every kit. Add your own items as you see fit.
1.
A small
sewing kit. At a minimum be sure it has thread to match your gown, the
bridesmaid dresses, the mothers’ dresses and the tuxedos. There should be a
variety of needle sizes, small scissors and a collection of extra buttons for
your gown (if appropriate) for shirt fronts, safety pins and hemming tape just
in case.
2.
A roll of
Hollywood tape. This is used to keep low cut necklines in place among other
handy uses. If you can’t find it in your area, you can find it online.
3.
A small
medical supplies box. This should include aspirin or Tylenol, Tums or other
antacids, band aids, smelling salts, breath mints and some PeptoBismal tablets.
4.
A box of
personal grooming aids. Include a hair brush for touch ups, hair spray (used
for both hair and for eliminating static cling on fabrics, hair or bobby pins,
hat pins (for securing boutonnieres), your make up, mouthwash, deodorant.
5.
Rolls of
Scotch Tape and white gaffer’s tape (you should be able to get at a local
hardware store.) These are to be used on emergency fabric tears and on bouquets
that “come undone”. Also bring a couple of sticks of white chalk to cover up
stains on your white gown.
6.
Other
miscellaneous items include: a lint brush, a pair of white or ivory ballet
slippers for when your feet scream “take off the heels”, a small hand towel and
wash cloth, a couple of zip top plastic bags, Kleenex and a bed sheet (to cover
the floor in the dressing room to protect your gown as you step in to it.)
Thanks for sharing beautiful Wedding
