Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day

Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day

Guest Post: Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day www.redeventweddingfayres.com.png

There are so many things that could be overlooked or missed on a day as big and important as your wedding day, no matter how obvious they may seem. 

Have you heard of the traditional something new, something old, something borrowed, and something blue? Have you considered preparing an emergency kit? Well, we have curated a list of things that you cannot forget, which are necessary and essential, for every prepared bride on her wedding day. 

Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day www.redeventweddingfayres.com

Something New, Something Old, Something Borrowed

We’ve all heard of the bridal trousseau, which is a collection of items from the clothing and jewellery you wear on your wedding day to more traditional pieces like a garter or something blue.

Your something new can be anything from your dress, jewellery, shoes, or anything you’ll be wearing that was specifically bought for the occasion. This means that you will have prosperity and happiness in your marriage.

For something old, you can wear a family jewel or relic. It symbolizes that family and friendship ties will never be broken and will lead with your partner.

Something blue represents the purity of marriage, and you can choose to wear it on a small ribbon, bridal bouquet, a hair accessory, or earrings.

As for something borrowed, it refers to something another bride has already worn. Someone in a happy marriage lends you something, and yours will be equally delighted. It is a symbol of friendship from the person who lends it to you, and it can be a jewel, a garter belt, or a handkerchief.

Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day www.redeventweddingfayres.com

Emergency Kit

Things happen; there’s dancing, spilled drinks, sweating, etc. Lots of things to consider and lots to prevent, so you must always consider carrying a bridal emergency kit that consists of :

  • barrettes

  • bobby pins or hair clips,

  • disposable tissues, 

  • sewing kit, 

  • mint sheets,

  • hairspray, 

  • lint roller, 

  • double-stick fashion tape, 

  • stain remover pen, 

  • perfume, 

  • blotting papers, 

  • pain reliever, 

  • pads or tampons, 

  • eye drops, 

  • toothbrush and toothpaste, 

  • deodorant, 

  • allergy medication, 

  • antacid medication, 

  • extra earring backs,

  •  brush or comb, 

  • phone charger, 

  • cords and an emergency camera, 

  • snacks and protein bars, water, etc. 

The list could seriously go on; it is important to keep anything that may come in handy and have the mother or bridesmaid keep it around when needed.

Makeup To Retouch

With all the hustle and bustle of the day, the dancing, sweating, happy tears, pictures, kissing, and hours going by, you will probably need a little touch-up on your makeup. This can be part of your emergency makeup kit: translucent powder, lash glue and extra eyelashes, blush, eyeliner, makeup remover to clean up any mess, tweezers, lipstick and lip liner, lip balm and makeup setting spray, and refreshing spray (very important!) Better safe than sorry!

Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day www.redeventweddingfayres.com

Flats or Comfortable Shoes

We know how exciting getting a beautiful pair of cream pumps is on your big day; indeed, a girl will always love shoes! But the reality is wedding days are usually long and packed, and by midnight you will want to throw them and never see them again! So don't forget to buy some nice flats, sandals or tennis shoes for this occasion. Make sure they are comfortable and preferably broken into already. Wedding dresses are long, and by midnight no one will even notice you’re not wearing your heels anymore. 

Bride Essentials To Pack For Your Big Day www.redeventweddingfayres.com

Keep Three Bouquets At Hand

One bouquet is never enough; we recommend that you use three: the first in case you want to keep it as a souvenir, the second will depend on whether you want to offer it at the ceremony, and the last will be the one that you throw to all your single guests. This can also come in handy if anything happens to your bouquet, mostly if it’s made out of natural fresh flowers. You’ll always want a fresh-looking flowers in your picture.

Cassie M’s Top Tips To Choosing the Right Bridal Hair Accessory For you!

1. Choose what stands out to you!

We often get asked by brides for advice on what would suit the style of hair they have chosen for the season they are getting married, and our advice is always to pick something that stands out to you. Don’t be swayed by friends or family on what they think is the right accessory for you.

2. Pick something that reflects who you are!

If most of the year you’re very minimal and natural with your makeup and hair- don’t go and pick the biggest, shiniest encrusted Swarovski hairpiece you have seen, it simply won’t be you!!

If you like the no fuss and minimal, pick a delicate and elegant piece that gives just enough sparkle to not be overpowering and so that your comfortable and love wearing it in the hairstyle that suits you! 

For all the brides who love the glam, big, oversized voluminous hair, you ladies need the “wow” factor, there are many endless options in hair accessories and styles, some of the most beautiful big statement pieces suit the most minimal sleek hair buns, accompanied by a gorgeous veil is just breath-taking if the correct one is chosen.

3. Choose the right bridal accessory to match your wedding dress!

Depending on the style of your dress, we always advise that if you have a statement back to your dress (like low back or pretty lace detail), have your hair up, to show off the beautiful detail. Go for a more classic hair accessory, one that won’t take the eye off your dress, the less is more approach definitely will compliment your wedding dress perfectly!

If you have a bohemian style dress with a flowy, dreamy, relaxed look, the hair vines are just perfect for almost all bohemian style dresses. If you won’t want to have a statement piece then choose more delicate hairpins that don’t have too much of a contrast with the style of your wedding dress.

4. Try on bridal hair accessories after your bridal hair trial!

I always advise my brides to come to me on the day of their hair trial or come to me with some ideas of some hairstyle they like. We work together to build their perfect hairstyle from all the inspiration pictures, their Pinterest boards, and also to find the accessory that suits their personality too!

If your unsure what accessory you want, have your hair trial with your stylist first, then once you're happy with your hairstyle discuss what sort of accessory will suit your style with your stylist. We do many online videos and live chats with brides to discuss which accessory suits which style through our Instagram page (click here to go to the videos!)
