It's in the
Bag
Emergency supplies every bride needs at her wedding
That darling little clutch might as well hold something
sensible! Designer Michelle Roth of New York City cautions
that the bride's purse should never appear bulky. "You can
delegate other items to your mother or maid of honor," she
says. "You'll want to have lipstick, powder, perfume, and
a mirror on hand along with some extra-strength Tylenol or
aspirin." Toss in a good luck charm from your grandmother
or mother and you're all set, she says. In the bridal area,
however, or in a locked suite near the reception hall, you'll
need to stash some additional essentials. Roth recommends:
- Three pair of extra hose
- Written instructions on how to bustle your dress if it
requires it
- Baby powder, which will help to disguise accidental stains,
if necessary. Remember to "go with the flow," Roth says.
"Do not attempt to clean any stain. You may seal in the
stain rather than remove it."
- Crochet hooks for buttons
- Extra buttons
- Sewing kit with essentials (needle, thread, safety pins,
etc.)
