Don't get caught out! The little things almost every bride forgets

Months of planning, fine-tuning every detail, choosing the flowers and the dress, and it looks like you have everything under control. Every booking is confirmed, the guests are seated and you can't wait to say “I do”. But even the biggest perfectionist eventually finds she has forgotten the little things that can save the day at just the right moment.

The groom's brown leather shoes and the bride's ivory heels on a wooden step

Amid the morning preparations, the congratulations and the celebrations that follow, it is easy to overlook details that turn out to be absolutely essential during the day. Go through our list of indispensable little things and be ready for anything!

A straw

After a long morning of getting ready, you want freshly made-up lips to stay perfect for as long as possible.

Plasters

New shoes can cause real trouble, and not only for the bride, so it pays to have a supply.

Mints

They freshen your breath at any time of day. Unlike chewing gum, you don't have to go looking for a bin.

Cotton buds

Even the best make-up may not survive a flood of emotions. Cotton buds are the best choice for small touch-ups.

A button hook

A little helper that brides especially appreciate if their dress has tiny buttons.

Safety pins

A lifesaver when something won't stay where it should.

A mini sewing kit

Torn-off buttons and loose straps never wait for a convenient moment.

Scissors

A stray thread that has no business being there always appears out of nowhere.

White chalk

Nobody gets to choose the weather or accidents. White chalk hides small smudges and marks on the dress.

Although you can buy ready-made SOS kits for brides these days, you already have most of these things at home and can easily put together a kit of your own. During the day, most of these little items fit easily into one make-up bag. Give it to your maid of honour or your mum, who will keep it to hand during the ceremony and the reception. With this small kit behind you, no torn thread or smudged mascara will throw you. You can enjoy your big day completely carefree!
