Wedding Day Survival Guide for Smart Brides

You’ve planned, you’ve organized and you’ve probably even agonized, and now your big day has just about arrived!

Don’t let minor glitches become major pains. To help ensure this doesn’t happen, SmartBride Boutique has compiled a list of 20 MUST HAVE ITEMS that every bride needs close by on her wedding day!

The list includes plenty of practical items, but to spice things up, there are also some “MacGyver Bride” items, including some amazing products brides might not know about!

Top 10 Items Every Practical Bride Needs on her Wedding Day:

1. Kleenex
2. Lip stain rather than lipstick (it lasts longer between applications)
3. Q-tips and eye-makeup remover for any precision mascara touch ups required after ceremony or speeches.
4. Stain remover pen
5. Safety pins
6. Flats or flip flops for the end of the night
7. Charged cell phone
8. Deodorant
9. Bobby pins and mini hairspray
10. Breath mints (for you or someone else!)

Top 10 Items Every “MacGyver Bride” Needs on her Wedding Day:

1. Double-sided Fashion Tape: Perfect for last minute wardrobe mishaps, hem repairs, tears and snags.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Wine Wipes: These gems discreetly remove red wine stains from your teeth and mouth. Now you can enjoy red wine without worrying about your smile in all those photos! (Your dress might be another story)
3. Disposable Booties: These will protect your white shoes en route. No one wants pesky scuff marks on wedding shoes to stick out like a sore thumb against their dress! Pick up a pair of the booties furniture delivery men wear in your house so they don’t have to take their shoes off.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Blister kit including Blister Treatment and Blister Block: You'll be able to dance the night away in your totally amazing wedding shoes. Enough said.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Model Mirror: This LED compact mirror lets you touch up makeup in any lighting. Even MacGyver couldn’t do that for his lady friends.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Baby Powder: Ahem....to soak up stains on clothing or to dry sweaty palms and underarms. Try a small format or travel size like Burt’s Bees Dusting Powder.
   
   
   
   
7. Breath Strips: Not to be confused with breath mints. These are NOT the same! Strips instantly dissolve to freshen up breath before you go cheek to cheek in your first dance.
   
   
   
8. Eye Drops: Reduces redness on the off chance that there are a few tears during the ceremony or speeches ;)
   
   
   
9. High Heel Saver: It’s better late than never! These wonders protect you from sinking into the grass during your wedding photos and your shoes from being caked in mud.
   
   
   
   
10. Cleansing Cloths: Just because it’s nice to be fresh on your way back up to the honeymoon suite.
