There is a lot of planning and preparation that brides put into their wedding day. No matter how much attention you give your big day, you can’t predict how the day will go down. Incidents and accidents may pop up, which is why our Toronto wedding photographers always recommend brides have an emergency kit for the day.
Here are all of the essentials you should include in your bridal emergency kit!
Touch Up Essentials
Your wedding day will be a long one, so chances are you’ll have to touch up your look throughout the day. Maybe your face is shiny after taking pictures under the sun, leaving you in desperate need of blotting papers and powder. Maybe you want to freshen up your breath after the reception meal. Some gum would be great for that. Here are some touch-up essentials you should have on hand.
- Brush/ Comb
- Blotting Papers
- Deodorant
- Eye drops
- Face mist
- Floss
- Gum/ Mints
- Hair Spray
- Lip Balm
- Lotion
- Makeup (same items as bridal look)
- Makeup removing wipes
- Mini mirror
- Nail file
- Nail polish (same as bridal look)
- Perfume
- Razor
- Sunscreen
- Q-Tips
- Tampons/Pads
- Tide to Go
- Tissue
- Toothbrush
- Tweezers
Backup Essentials
Even the best-laid plans can go awry. That’s why it’s important to have a few backup items in case anything goes wrong with the originals. Maybe your elaborate bridal up-do stats to undo, so having a few extra bobby pins can be a lifesaver. Here are some backup essentials to have on hand on your wedding day.
- Bobby Pins
- Earring backs
- Extra contact lenses (or glasses)
- Hair elastics
- Safety pins
- Underwear (always good to have a backup pair!)
Wellness Essentials
Even if you wake up feeling great the morning of your wedding, you’ll want to be prepared. It’s not unusual for a headache to pop up from the stress, bright flash from wedding photos, or alcohol. Here are a few wellness essentials our wedding photographers recommend you have on hand for the bride (or anyone else that needs it!)
- Advil
- Allergy medication
- Antacid
- Band-Aids
- Blister treatment
- Bug spray
- Contact lens solution
- Energy bar
- First aid kit
- Water
Wardrobe Essentials
The bride should always look her best on her wedding day. There’s nothing more stressful than a last-minute wardrobe malfunction like a stuck zipper or torn dress. Here are some wardrobe essentials to have on hand to divert any outfit disasters.
- Fashion tape
- Flat shoes
- Lint roller
- Mini sewing kit
- Static guard
- Tights
