We love the cute styles over at Dagne Dover. Their Hunter Toiletry Bag has room to organize all of your essentials with additional removable pouches! It’s also made with water resistant neoprene material.
Now that you’ve got a cute little bag to hold your day-of emergency items, it’s time to fill it up! Below are a few items were snagging for our brides.
Welly is an adorable new brand carried by Target! They have cute miniature emergency kits that are perfect not only for your wedding weekend but can easily transferred to your honeymoon luggage for use on your next adventure! Pick up the “Kicker Stickers” in case your wedding shoes give you a blister; the “Travel Medicine Kit” in case you can’t sleep the night before, have a tummy ache from nerves, or simply have a headache from too much fun; and lastly, the “Oops Equipment Kit” for emergency procedures like cutting a loose thread on your dress or a broken nail!
Hair ties are also a must in an emergency kit! We’re obsessed with Teleties for any occassion because they don’t leave a dent in your hair or pull it out. This “Counting Karats” style is perfect for your wedding day. They add a little extra sparkle so you shine bright like a diamond even if you need to throw your hair up into a ponytail or bun!
There’s nothing worse than not having pump up tunes playing while you’re getting ready with your bride tribe! That’s why we’ve included portable speakers on your emergency day kit list. Having tunes playing can help keep your jitters away while you sing and dance the morning away. If you or one of your girls don’t have a speaker already, JBL is a great brand to invest in. Not to mention, many are waterproof making them perfect for pool parties. Perhaps grab this guy a few months before your wedding so you can use it at your bachelorette party, too!
This trendy new brand is all over the internet and all of their products are perfect to pack in your emergency day kit! From dry shampoo and makeup wipes to razor and lip balm, these items can easily be transferred from your emergency kit to your honeymoon bag.
Once you’ve got your emergency kit bag put together, be sure to give it to someone you trust! We suggest your day-of coordinator, planner, maid-of-honor, or even a family member. The last thing you need is to remember to tote this around, however, when an emergency strikes, you’ll want to have it close by!
