Tissues
Weddings are full of emotion, laughter and tears. So to wipe away all those happy tears and avoid damaging your make-up, remember to slip a pack of tissues into your bridal bag...
A sweet snack
Between the stress of the preparations, the adrenalin of the big day, the mix of emotions and the demands of your guests, a little sweet snack,such as cupcakes or chocolate, , could come in handy in case of a bout of sluggishness or hypoglycemia.
Bandages
We all know how uncomfortable it can be to walk in heels all day. So to prevent blisters, put a few plasters into your wedding bag! (Or keep a pair of flats around, at hand...).
Deodorant wipes
On such a unique day, you don't want to think about anything other than love and this union with your other half... And above all, you want to avoid the stress of a potential sweaty smell! Slipping small wipes into the bag will take this off your head.
