Wedding Ceremony Essentials

The wedding planning

You loved planning and organizing your wedding to the letter and you want to keep an eye on the correct sequence of events? Then keep the detailed schedule of your day with you! This will prevent you from making mistakes about the times of the ceremony, the photo shoot, the start of the meal, forgetting certain small interventions, etc.

Your identity papers

Essential for a wedding at the town hall, take your identity papers for the ceremony.

A pen

To sign the famous papers! You shouldn't need it, but you never know, it's a big day and you want everything to be perfect! Don't hesitate to bring one personalized with your initials to add a personal touch to keep as a souvenir.

Copy of wishes

Take a copy of your vows and thank-you speeches with you to make sure you avoid memory lapses due to over-emotion when the time comes!

A lucky charm

You might consider bringing a small sentimental or religious item with you, one that you want to have by your side as you walk down the aisle under the gaze of your guests on this much-anticipated day.

Beauty essentials to take with you in your wedding bag

A hairbrush

Very useful for staying perfectly styled no matter the circumstances. Hugs from your loved ones? No problem. The rice toss? Enjoy it. A little wind? Not afraid at all! And besides, an updo is fine for the ceremony, but for partying until the end of the night, let your hair down! We have selected this customizable hairbrushmade of wood from a small French boutique.

A hair clip and bobby pins

In the same vein, you should think about small touch-ups. Bobby pins will let you secure any stray strands that escape from your bridal hairstyle. During the preparations on the big day, our target="_blank">The Bride hair clipwill allow you to keep your hair up while putting on your wedding dress and during your beauty session with your makeup artist. Planning to wear your hair down? It will be perfect for tying it up at the end of the evening on the dance floor.

A lip balm

That famous must-have accessory we should all always carry with us to keep our lips perfectly hydrated all year round, lip balm becomes your ally for the much-anticipated wedding kiss. Don't have one yet? We created the little Atelier Lilac lip balm, pretty and compact, to slip into your bag.

A nail file

Perfect down to your fingertips. A nail file will allow for small manicure touch-ups, you never know...

Makeup

Remember to bring your lipstick or gloss with you so you can do a few touch-ups. Mattifying powder will also be your best ally if you want your dress to shine brilliantly rather than your skin...

A mirror, mirror

Yes, you're the fairest of them all! Use it for quick checks and discreet touch-ups.

Mini perfume

To make sure a lovely scent comes from your hair, your veil, from you quite simply, when you go dance on the floor or chat with your guests.

Mint candies

No bad smells at your wedding, a few mint candies will help you keep fresh breath all day long.

Sunglasses

If you're getting married in sunny weather, having your sunglasses in your bag can be that useful little accessory to fully enjoy the beautiful weather without squinting. It's time to bring out the fashion touch in your outfit!

The list of essential products to create your wedding first aid kit

Tissues

Weddings are an event full of emotions, laughter and tears. So to wipe away all those beautiful happy tears and avoid ruining your makeup, remember to tuck a pack of tissues into your wedding bag… Find our < target="_blank">custom tissue packs to dry your tears!

A Sweet Snack

Between the stress of preparations, the adrenaline of the big day, the mix of emotions and the demands of your guests, a small sweet snack, like small cakes or chocolate, could come in handy if you feel tired or have low blood sugar.

Band-Aids

We know how uncomfortable walking in heels all day can be. So to prevent blisters, tuck a few band-aids into your wedding bag! (And maybe a pair of flat shoes to keep handy nearby…)

Deodorant Wipes

For this one-of-a-kind day, you want to think only of love and union with your partner… And most importantly, avoid the stress of a potential body odor! Small wipes tucked into your bag will fix this little hassle.

Some Medications

You never know, a migraine, stomach ache or any other pain that strikes during your wedding would ruin your day. So keeping a few medications at the bottom of your bag will ensure a more peaceful day.

Our wedding survival kit

To make things easier for you, we have created the wedding survival kit for you. It contains a hair accessory, a box of bandages, a pack of tissues, lip balm, a hairbrush, a mirror and a pack of personalized cookies made by the Shanty brand.

All the essentials for wedding survival, gathered in one pretty kit!
