Fashion tape is a LIFESAVER for bridesmaids and brides in strapless dresses or any kind of dress really. Sometimes you just need a little extra sticky to keep that dress and where it belongs. Plus, these can “fix” hems in a pinch!
Shoe Protection

P.S. these heel grips work great for men’s pesky dress shoes too! 👞 Protect your heels 👠 (and ankles) from sinking and tripping in the grass with these heel covers. Now you can both dance the night away!
Stain Stick
Because of course stains happen at the worst times. Keep your dress or tux looking clean with stain removing sticks. This wedding day essential is a must, must, must to look sharp all day. Our favorite is the Tide pen because of its small size and power! This is a must have for your wedding day essentials!
Medicines
Benadryl will keep those allergy sniffles away on your big day. Ibuprofen will help in case your bridesmaids partied a little too hard last night, maybe your mom won’t stop offering her “help” with your hair. Either way, stop that headache as soon. as. possible. 💊
Personal Needs
Tampons. Bobby Pins. Q-Tips. Tweezers. These are must haves for your big day that can take care of an “uninvited guest” (lookin’ at you Aunt Flo) to unwanted stray hairs to runny makeup. Pack all of these wedding day essentials together in a ziploc so that you don’t lose them in a large go-bag. 👝
Shine Those Pearly Whites!
Altoids smalls come in perfectly compact tins that you can take anywhere discreetly while still packing that strong minty punch! Another essential is dental floss or floss picks because you don’t want to thank your guests for coming with spinach in your teeth.
Tissue Travel Pack
These little disposable handkerchiefs are perfect for your first look, sneezy bridesmaids and groomsmen, and your sentimental loved ones. If you’re a bride, maybe consider getting your dad his own personal pack so he can unleash that inner softie. 🤧
Liquid Bronzer
Uh-oh tan lines! Have you been hitting the beach or pool more than usual? While your tan lines may not seem that dramatic in a t-shirt, they will show up way more in a strapless dress. To fix this, use a little liquid bronzer and blend. Just make sure to let it dry (and set it with a translucent powder) before you get dressed!
Protein Bar
As a bride, the chances you will be able to sit down and fully enjoy any of your delicious food is pretty low. This wedding day essential will help you stay upbeat and energized with a little hit of protein. Our favorite is the Perfect Protein Bar because it’ll give you enough energy to dance, dance, dance! 💃🕺
De-Wrinkle Spray
This is a must, must, MUST. From sitting down to movin’ and groovin’ a de-wrinkle spray will keep your dress looking fresh all day long. 👗 You probably can’t have your MoH carry a steamer around but you can make sure she has a travel size wrinkle spray! Our favorite is the Downy Wrinkle-Releaser!
