Emergency Bag For Brides
It's in the Bag
Emergency supplies every bride needs at her wedding
by Jane Reilly Mount
That darling little clutch might as well hold something sensible! Designer Michelle Roth of New York City cautions that the bride's purse should never appear bulky. 'You can delegate other items to your mother or maid of honor,' she says. 'You'll want to have lipstick, powder, perfume, and a mirror on hand along with some extra-strength Tylenol or aspirin.' Toss in a good luck charm from your grandmother or mother and you're all set, she says. In the bridal area, however, or in a locked suite near the reception hall, you'll need to stash some additional essentials. Roth recommends:
Three pair of extra hose
Written instructions on how to bustle your dress if it requires it
Baby powder, which will help to disguise accidental stains, if necessary. Remember to 'go with the flow,' Roth says. 'Do not attempt to clean any stain. You may seal in the stain rather than remove it.'
Crochet hooks for buttons
Extra buttons
Sewing kit with essentials (needle, thread, safety pins, etc.)
