As a photographer (and even a bridesmaid over the past few years), I think every wedding day needs an emergency wedding day kit.

No, I don’t WANT anything bad to happen but preparing for unexpected events can never hurt! My car has a fully stocked kit of everything under the sun for this exact reason. Plus, it’s always better to be over-prepared than underprepared and stressed on a wedding day.

Here are some emergency wedding day kit items that I always recommend…

Baby Wipes – Sewing Kit – Bobby Pins – Scissors – Stain Remover Pen – Safety Pins – Hairspray – Dry Shampoo – Push Pins (for bouts!) – Bandaids – Antibiotic Ointment – Tape – Tweezers – Umbrellas (if there’s room!) – Ibuprofen – Body Tape – Deodorant – Kleenex – Chewing Gum – Mints -Bottled Water – Hand Warmers (for winter weddings!)

Even if your wedding day is months away, start prepping your emergency wedding day kit now! Comment below with more items to include in the kit!
