Wedding Day Emergency Kit

  As the 'Big Day' get closer and closer, there are a million little details that can go running through your head. This includes all the little things that can go wrong. So why not be prepared?  A great way to take care of some of the minor mishaps is to create a 'Wedding Day Emergency Kit'.
  For years, every time I worked on a photo shoot set I would pack my 'Set Emergency Kit'.  For me that included things like mini A-claps, double sided tape, bandages, and safety pins.  And I can't tell you how many times I was able to come to the rescue with my little kit.  And even today I carry a few safety pins, tissues, mints and bandages in my photo bag to weddings. You never know when you might need to save a bridesmaid from runny makeup or a mom from a runaway hemline.

So here is a list of must-haves in your Wedding Day Emergency Kit:

1. Sewing kit with needle, thread, buttons and safety pins in various sizes.
2. Toupee tape for keeping clothes in place.
3. Scissors
4. Stick-on instant hemming tape.
5. Clear nail polish (for runs) and nail polish in the shade you are wearing.
