Ok, it’s going to be a drive-by posting but I’ve been thinking a lot about what you need in your emergency kit. Here’s the deal, you don’t need as much as you think you do, but here’s my list for things you do need!
- sewing kit – whether it’s to tack your bustle back in place, fix a button on a tux or vest, strap fixer or anything, your sewing kit can come in handy!
- safety pins – in case your bustle rips or something and you don’t want to use a sewing kit – ideally, big and small depending on what you need them for and the weight of your dress fabric (and bridesmaids too!)
- bobby pins – so I can pin your hair back into place if needed – did you know I double as a emergency hair fixer? Yep. I do.
- deodorant – everyone forgets this
- small item of body spray if it’s hot out – stay fresh my people!
- body glide – if it’s hot and sticky out and you’re worried about any type of chafing (whether on your legs, feet or shoulders) this stuff is awesome, you can find it at any running store (thanks to my running brides for tipping me off to this!)
- don’t even pack gum because I will yell at you for it – it shows in photos very easily!
- general makeup stuff – blotting papers and lip stuff, everything else your makeup artist should’ve taken care of! You don’t need everything on the day of!
And that’s my list of go-to things. The other things are nice if you have room to take them with you but this is an essentials list! And who doesn’t love a condensed version of the lists that show 10000 things that they say you must have? I do that’s for sure!
And what’s a post without a picture? See my isabelley? Isn’t she just the cutest ever?
