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
