Emergency items you need to carry on your wedding day

Most Indian weddings are held in a marriage hall, a resort, at a hotel, and, nowadays, even in exotic locales. Naturally you and your family must carry everything you need to this venue. Here are a list of items which you as a bride must carry; most of these are ignored, forgotten or not given due importance:

Painkillers: A typical Hindu ceremony involves lot of things like dealing  with smoke, hymns and long hours. By the end of it, you may have a migraine or headaches or feverish… So better you carry of your emergency medicines to the venue…

Safety Pins: Indian wedding dresses like lehengas and saris with long “palloos” definitely need to be hitched up so that you are comfortable. Your professional makeup artist/stylist will definitely carry safety pins, but it is essential that you keep these handy too, so you can quickly fix your attire (yourself) during the ceremony.

Makeup items, extra Bindis etc: weddings are quite emotional, and you don't want your mascara running (especially during the Vidaii ceremony). Make sure you carry the right shade of lipstick, blush, mascara etc so that you can do ‘quick touch ups’ every now and then. Bindis tend to fall off too, so keep extra ones handy.

Deodorant/perfume: If you are wearing fresh flowers (especially jasmines) then you probably won’t need these but tiny Deo-sticks can help keep your underarms dry.

Eye-drops: wedding ceremonies have you sitting around the fire and a great deal of smoke. Do carry a tiny bottle of eye drops so your eyes do not appear red.

Gums and mints/mouth-fresheners: You should not have bad breath on your special day. These items can ensure that!

Facial tissues: Everyone knows how necessary these are-you can dab sweat, wipe off extra makeup or even your sweaty/ clammy hands.

Talcum powder: This item comes in handy for dabbing off oil/food spills from your expensive bridal attire- helps you get stains off quickly, at a later stage.

Glue sticks/scissors, tape: There isn’t much you can do about a broken shoe heel (other than change your shoes) but glue sticks, tapes and scissors can come in handy when fixing small jewelry items. In many Indian weddings. So, craft items like these can be helpful in fixing stuff that might have been damaged during the commute from home to the venue.

A few snack items: You as a Bride will usually get to eat last (which is the norm in most Indian wedding ceremonies) so make sure you keep a bottle of water, a small snack (chocolate bars, cookies, apples etc) for a quick bite every now and then.

These are just a few bridal emergency kit items.

Additionally, you may carry hand sanitizes, sunscreen, antacids, moisturizers, nail paint remover, cotton balls etc.

This kit will help you to have a memorable day which is flawless and perfect in every way!

Happy Wedding
