Every bride wants to look perfect on their special day. No matter what the day, you will inevitably be exposed to wind, maybe a bit of rain, a touch of nerves, maybe some happy tears and any other natural elements throughout the day. You can’t avoid them but you can prepare for them; no bride should be without her emergency wedding day kit and since we don’t want you forgetting the one remedy that you might need on the day, we’ve compiled the biggest list we could think of for items you might want in your kit. Each bride can decide for herself what she will need. Don’t worry, you can put your bridesmaids in charge of carrying some (or all) of your emergency kit.
- Parecetamol/Asprin (or other pain reliever and Acid relief)
- Rescue Remedy (for last minute nerves)
- White chalk (for any last minute smudges)
- Clear nail polish (for possible ladders in tights)
