Murphy’s Law states that if anything can go wrong, it will! Any bride you speak to will tell you that even with all the preparation in the world, there’s bound to be minor hiccups before you walk down the aisle.
Whether it’s a mild wardrobe malfunction or annoying flyaway edges that just won’t stay down…the planning never stops until you say “I do.”

No need to panic, though! You can plan ahead by packing a quick bridal emergency kit to take with you.

Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover
Don’t get caught slippin’! Be prepared for minor stains if God forbid they come in contact with your bridal attire. Fingers crossed, though!
If there’s one day you should be able to slay in heels without your feet in pain, it should be your wedding day. The Vivian Lou insoles are scientifically-proven to prevent foot discomfort caused by high heels. Slip them into your wedding day travel bag, and pick up a few extra for your bridesmaids!
Safety pins are an obvious wedding day must have, but it’s also that one item that gets lost no matter how much you prepare. Buy multiple packs and stash them in your glove compartment, suitcase and purse so they’re wherever you need them to be.
Just in case anyone gets a knick on the day of, you’ll want a bandage that won’t stick out like a sore thumb. Tru-Colour bandages are waterproof and blend in seamlessly with darker skin tones.
What most brides forget when transitioning from the ceremony to the reception is a lipgloss to refresh their pout. Keep your lips poppin’ even after your makeup artist has left the building with a brilliant yet lightweight gloss by MAC in the warm honey-like shade Get Rich Quick.
No nip slips over here! Fearless double sided tape will hold your wedding or bridesmaid dresses and hemlines comfortably against your skin. It can also be used to keep undergarments hidden to keep your outfit refined, classy and elegant all day long.
This is an essential for summer brides! You’ll want to touch up your wedding hair with some product to keep your edges smooth and sleek all night long.
