AppId is over the quota
It is so easy to get caught up in the wonder of creating your own arrangements, bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres that they are all you think about. But don’t get so caught up in the flower creation and preparation that you end up with another kind of Last Minute Oh No. I’m talking about the moment after you’ve put that last centerpiece down, take a deep breath and then realize, you’ve got less than an hour to prepare for the biggest day of your life and the slip for your wedding dress is hanging in the closet. At your mother’s. Two hours away.
Things are always going to be forgotten when preparing for your wedding, especially if you are a DIY bride and are doing your own floral arrangements. One of the smartest things you can do is take an hour before that final push to get everything place and pack a bridal emergency kit. Or if you are the Maid of Honor, what better way to help your friend by getting a check list together and making sure that everything she will need in those last hours before the ceremony is packed and already at the church or hall waiting for her.
Here are some things you should consider having available on your wedding day in case of an emergency.
Grooming: hand lotion, wet wipes, tissues, cotton balls, cotton swabs, make up, makeup remover, nail polish in shade worn, nail polish remover, nail file, tweezers, small grooming scissors, small hand towel, lint brush, curing iron/hot rollers, hair dryer, brush, comb, hair spray, hair gel, bobbin pins, hair elastics, barrettes, headband or clips for pulling hair back while applying make up, tooth brush, tooth paste, floss, mouth wash, baby powder, deodorant, perfume
Attire: garter, clear nail polish for runs in panty hose, extra earring backs, extra buttons, flat shoes for the reception, iron, extra panty hose, safety pins, sewing kit with thread that matches the bride’s and bridesmaid dresses, masking tape or sewing tape for last minute ripped hems, small scissors for thread, club soda or other stain removal solutions
Health/Medical: antacid, antihistamine, cold remedy, prescription medications, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, upset stomach remedy, feminine hygiene products
Miscellaneous: extra copies of directions to reception, breath mints, cell phone and home phone numbers of all wedding participants, contact information for all vendors, snacks, cooler with juice/sodas/bottled water, champagne and glasses, small flashlight, folding utility knife, duct tape.
