Having a little bag that you can carry (or have someone in the bridal party carry) with you throughout the wedding day can keep you from worrying about things that may happen, and dealing with them when they do.
Medicines
Although everyone is feeling wonderful on the wedding day, it’s amazing what a few nerves can do to the body. Headaches, upset stomachs, and dizziness can all rear their ugly heads right when you are feeling the most pressure.
And that’s not just the couple. You may want to keep on hand a few things to keep everyone feeling good, or at least keep them upright throughout the ceremony. A chewable or liquid antacid is a great way to calm any nervous stomachs. Crackers and ginger ale are good though too. For headaches, you can keep some acetaminophen on hand. This is usually gentler on the stomach than ibuprofen, and can be taken without food.
Dizziness can be triggered by a lot of factors such as hypoglycemia, nervousness or other medical conditions. Should the bride or the groom or any guests feel dizzy, you can give them smelling salts.
For those experiencing sore feet due to tight shoes, band-aids would suffice.
Beauty Fixes
Aside from body changes, you should also prepare some things that can maintain the beauty of those ladies in your wedding. For example, you can prepare a translucent face powder just in case someone is having a shiny nose or forehead. To maintain the elegance of the lips, bring some lip gloss or lip balm as well. Also, preparing a nail polish would be a good idea just in case someone needs to fix her rhinestones.
A small brush and mirror can also help, while hair spray and extra deodorant are also nice to have on hand. Bobby pins can help most hair crises, but a curling iron can be an asset too.
Miscellaneous
If there are minor emergencies in someone’s dress or in your dress, bringing with you a sewing kit is a great idea. Extra pins for the corsages would also do and would also be useful if the flowers fell off.
Stain remover and chalk are also good to have on hand. If there should be any stains that need removing, the stain remover is there. If there’s something on the bride’s dress, then you can lightly cover it with the chalk-it works great and won’t hurt the dress.
