Of course your wedding will go off flawlessly. You
and your family and your consultant have thought
about and planned for every eventuality. However,
on the off side chance that the unexpected should
happen, a professional wedding planner will always
have the following emergency kit available.
What should go in your kit? Here are items
some that brides everywhere have found helpful.
Add your own items as you see fit.
1. A small sewing kit. At a minimum be sure it
has thread to match your gown, the bridesmaid
gowns, the mothers dresses, and the tuxedos.
There should be a variety of needle sizes, small scissors
and a collection of extra buttons for your
gown (if appropriate) for shirt fronts, safety pins,
and hemming tape just in case.
2. A roll of Hollywood tape - used to keep low
cut necklines in place among other handy uses. If
you can’t find it in your area you can go to

3. A small medical supplies box - aspirin or
Tylenol,Tums or other antacid, band aids, smelling
salts, breath mints and some Pepto Bismal tablets.
4. A box of personal grooming aids - hair brush
( for touch ups), hair spray (for hair and for eliminating
static cling on fabrics)hair or bobby pins, hat
pins (for securing boutonnières), your make up,
mouthwash, deodorant.
5. Scotch tape rolls,white gaffer’s tape (secure at
hardware stores) to be used on emergency fabric
tears and on bouquets that “come undone” and a
couple of sticks of white chalk to cover up stains
on your white gown.
6. Other miscellaneous items: lint brush, a pair
of white or ivory ballet slippers for when your feet
scream out for comfo rt , a small hand towel and
wash cloth, a couple of zip top plastic bags, Kleenex
and a bed sheet (to cover the floor in the dressing
room to protect your gown as you step into it)
Knowing that you can cover most emergency
situations gives you peace of mind. And of course,
when you are prepared emergencies are less likely
to occur. Let our trained consultants give you
