TOP 10 EMERGENCY ITEMS
The top 10 emergency items needed on the day.

1. A small sewing kit with a few extra pearl buttons, thread the colour of your gown, mini scissors, lots of different sized safety pins (for everything and anything), sewing tape (for emergency hemming), two extra pairs of your stockings, dressmakers chalk (for emergency coverups), superglue (not for the pageboys mouth!)
   
   
2. Headache pills for your Mum, bandaids for new shoes, eye drops, lip balm, any prescription medication you may take, something for hayfever if the wedding is outdoors.
   
   
3. A beauty kit with your compact, lipstick, mascara, bobby pins, mini hairspray, a comb, clear nail polish (for ladders in stockings), mini perfume and deodorant.
   
   
4. A mobile phone and a complete list of phone contacts of everyone involved in the big day.
   
   
5. A detailed map of directions to the venue, just in case your driver gets lost.


6. Tissues, tissues, tissues!


7. Mints for a kissable mouth and lots of breathy thank you's.


8. A small container of talcum powder. Grease or lippy on veils and dresses can be dealt with by sprinkling the talc on the spot. Leave it there to absorb the grease and brush off a little later.


9. A bottle of very good bubbly, to crack open when the coast is clear!


10. Yourself and your sense of humour - you and your wedding coordinator have done your best and now you can enjoy the ride!
