Every wedding I do, I come prepared. One of my gifts to the Bride and the Bridal party is an Emergency kit for the day of. This is usually a small make up bag or small tote with items for any quick fix you may need. Now that it is time for my own wedding, I am checking all the boxes in my mental checklist. So if you are getting down to the wire to your big day, follow this guide for all the secrets inside my day of Emergency kits.

The moral of the story is, you never know what is going to happen, a delicate display could tip over, the wind could be blowing your arbor away, or your battery operated light display could burn out. No matter what happens, as a day of coordinator, I do everything I can to be prepared. If you need help bringing together your big day, send me an email at Thedirtyblondestylist@gmail.com. Can’t wait to hear from you!
