Nuts or granola bars are a great source of protein, and will keep for months before your big day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toothbrush and toothpaste.<\/strong> Buy a travel size of each to keep in your bag. You wouldn\u2019t want to say your \u201cI do\u201d with anything less than fresh breath.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A garment steamer.<\/strong> If you have a handheld one on hand you\u2019re already winning! If not, get one. It\u2019s an essential tool for smoothing out stubborn gown wrinkles, and can be used for last-minute clothing touch-ups for years to come!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bobby pins and hair ties.<\/strong> There are going to be <em>lots<\/em> of girls. Someone is going to need them, right?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sewing kit.<\/strong> A popped button or dropped hem is never good news. Having needle, thread and hem tape handy will save the day in a pinch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mints, not gum.<\/strong>\u00a0You don\u2019t want to be captured on film chomping away like it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business, after all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Band-Aids.<\/strong> You\u2019ll be wearing your bridal heels for hours. Even if you\u2019ve made a pre-wedding effort to break them in, you\u2019ll almost certainly have a few blisters or sore spots as the night progresses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nail polish.<\/strong> Be sure to pack a bottle of your wedding-day nail color. Your bridesmaids should do the same. Chipped nails are a definite no-no in those detail shots your photographer is going to take!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lipstick &amp; lip liner.<\/strong> You\u2019ll be kissing your freshly minted spouse all night. Make sure your lip color is locked in or refreshed for photos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blotting papers.<\/strong> A quick press to absorb any oil or sweat that may have snuck out to your skin\u2019s surface, followed by sweep of translucent powder, will have you looking fresh and shine-free, in person, and in pix!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re packing your own bridal bag (aka the wedding-day emergency kit) or having your MOH get one ready for you, you\u2019ll want to make sure not to leave out a single wedding-day essential!
