Bridal Emergency Items
The day of the “big day”, brides have a lot on their mind. After all, it’s probably going to be one of the most important days of their lives!
In order to make things easier and ensure that no page goes unturned, brides should pack their “emergency” kit ahead of time. This kit should include everything and anything the bride might need for her or her bridal party on the big day. Here are the most important things the kit should have:
- Lint roller
- Tide To Go Pen
- Aspirin/pain reliever
- Drinking straws
- Little snacks like granola bars
- Breath mints
- Sewing kit
- Toothbrush/toothpaste
- Deodorant
- Earring backs
- Safety pins
- Static remover
Separate each item into categories such as: cosmetics, food/drink, miscellaneous. By category, put them into labeled Ziploc bags and place them in your bag.
This way, you have everything you might need and are prepared for any situation!

Tough Timelines
As your wedding gets closer and closer, you’re definitely planning everything down to the very last detail. However, sometimes it can be hard to plan everything to the very last second.
When it comes to mapping out your wedding day timeline, it can be tough! Good thing the blog “Every Last Detail” has come up with the perfect guide to timelining your wedding!
Check out the full guide and downloadable timeline here, but we have listed some highlights below:
- Hair and makeup are most likely to make you run behind, so allow wiggle room when adding that in
- Schedule in to eat! Brides end up going all day long and end up starving. Make sure you get a meal in and a few snacks
- Consult everyone involved i to ensure that your timeline is realistic – for example, talk to your photographer and hairdresser ahead of time
