Everything is going to be perfect on my wedding day! Yes, that is what all brides think, but you never know when an earring backing may fall off or a piece of hair springs free from your bobby pins! Most event planners will bring an emergency wedding kit with them, but if not your maid/matron of honor should take over this responsibility. Your kit should be everywhere with you, the ceremony, the reception, and any off site photo locations that you are going to. Here are Emily’s suggestions for an emergency wedding kit so that you have peace of mind on your big day:
- Travel size mirror
- Travel size hair spray
- Travel size deodorant and perfume
- Tissues
- Manicure kit (nail clippers, file, tweezers, scissors)
- Breath mints and/or travel size mouthwash
- Basic sewing kit (safety pins, scissors, sewing tape, needle and thread)
- Stain remover
- Makeup and Makeup remover
- Pain relief tablets
- Eye drops and cough drop
- Earring backs and an extra pair of earrings
- Band-aids and small bandage
- Vanity kit (cotton balls, nail file)
- Clear nail polish (prevents stocking runs and ladders)
- Feminine hygiene products
- Super glue
- Sun cream and unscented insect repellent
- Flat shoes in case your wedding shoes become painful later in the day
- Hair brush , Hair bands and Bobby Pins
- Drinking Straws
- Extra pair of stocking is wearing them
- Phone number list of wedding vendors
- A copy of your wedding schedule
- Extra pair of stockings if needed
- Phone numbers of all wedding vendors
Along with the wedding emergency kit, the matron/maid of honor should have these items handy in a small handbag for the bride throughout the reception in a safe but easy-to-access place during the dinner and/or reception.

And just for fun……
