A question we always get asked a lot is what to pack for the wedding day and we are here to make this simple for you to ease your stress over this to not take away from your big day. We have a list of the top 10 items and there is a resource from our Etsy shop that goes into an emergency kit packing list and a list for each part of the wedding party!
To give you a good idea / base level knowledge of the must have items you will need to pack for your wedding check out the list we’ve curated down below:
Baby Powder - helps reduce sweating with just a quick wipe using a clean powder puff
Blotting Sheets - to remove shine without messing up your makeup
Sewing Kit - you’d be surprised at how many times we’ve had to help bridesmaids with last minute fixes to their dresses.
{ Note your kit needs to include double sided tape and safety pins }
Eyelash Glue - while it may seem random we get asked about this a lot especially a few dances into the night
Vaseline - this one has saved some of our brides arms from rubbing up against their sparkly beaded dresses
First Aid Kit - it’s always good to have one with everything possibly needed just in case
Chalk - this is for the bride’s dress, because we all know that it’s impossible to keep a bride’s dress to stay perfectly white, especially during those outdoor photos. So to give it a little clean-up before she walks down the aisle, cover the stains up with standard chalk to hide and marks added to the dress.
Shark Week Prep - We’ve seen it happen time and time again that that lovely time of the month hits a bride or bridesmaid on a wedding day so best to be prepared and ready instead of panicking the day of!
Shout Wipes - Accidents can happen! Don’t worry but always be sure to have these together and remember to blot not wipe or rub to avoid creating a bigger mess!
Steamer - A given but one that slips the mind easily. Be sure to bring a few depending on size on your bridal party!!
We hope this post has been helpful to you as you plan for your big day. Be sure to message us with any questions or check out our resources below for more specific lists and details!
