4 Essential Items for Your Wedding Emergency Kit

Wedding day essentials

One of the tiny details you can easily forget about when planning a wedding and even on the wedding day is the emergency kit. More often than not, people disregard the need for an emergency kit because wedding outfits are or look quite reliable, and you feel confident nothing can go wrong.

While it’s advisable to be all positive about your day, unfortunately, wardrobe malfunctions, makeup emergencies, headaches, and hangovers do occur, even on your wedding day.

Hence, it’s worth putting aside some time to assemble a little but essential survival kit. Here, a few of the items you may need for the ultimate wedding day emergency kit! 

●      Double-stick Fabric Tape

A hem may start to loosen, or a bodice may slip; fabric tape will be excellent for holding it in place. For fabric tapes to be a necessary item to celebrities at red carpet events, you will agree it’s indispensable for walking down the aisle.

●      Sewing Kit

Your sewing kit should comprise tiny scissors and threads in colors that match the bridesmaids’ dresses. If a button comes off or loosens and needs to be taken care of or stitched back in place, having a sewing kit at hand will be helpful.

●      Safety Pins

A compulsory item befitting for your bridal emergency kit is safety pins. You may buy a pack that comes in various sizes, so you’ll be prepared for anything. The small-size pins can instantly fix fashion emergencies.

Whether it’s a little rip in a bridesmaid’s dress (pin it underneath the fabric), a gap at the end of the zipper, or a slip of a bra strap, safety pins can be helpful and easy to use for any fashion emergency.

●      Pain Killer

A container of medicines for emergency cases like headaches or hangovers anyone may have from the wedding party is necessary. Ensure you include your preferred pain reliever and other medications for emergency cases that may involve indigestion, allergies, and headaches.
