Fashion Fix: Wedding Emergency Kit

It’s wedding season! Whether you’re a bride, a groom, a member of the bridal party, the event planner or a guest, you’ll want to look great for the big day — whether it’s yours or not! After all, every moment is captured by photographers and videographers (both pro and amateur!) and you want to be photo-worthy at all times.

What happens if you have a fallen hem, a wrinkled veil or a boutonnière that flops?  You need an emergency kit — especially if you’re in the bridal party!  Manhattan Wardrobe Supply has them — both basic and deluxe!  Here’s what’s in them:

Wedding Emergency Kit: Deluxe

Jiffy J6 Steamer:  There Will Be Wrinkles. Whether it’s in a tux shirt, a veil or a flower girl’s dress, you need to quickly and easily get them out without scorching, and a Jiffy steamer is the best way to do it.

Silk and Clean Stain Wipes: Mimosas can be the bane of any bridal party. Don’t spill! But if you do, Silk and Clean will get the stain out of your silk bridal gown or bridesmaid’s dress without spotting or ruining the fabric. Whew.

Spotless and Clean Stain Wipes: For other fabrics, Spotless and Clean Stain Wipes will do the trick.  Groom ate a slice of pizza in his tux shirt? This will kill that stain so he looks picture-perfect at the altar.

Dritz Corsage Pins: Florists never give you enough corsage pins.  These come in both pearl and black to complement any outfit, whether it’s your ring bearer or Grandma who’s wearing the corsage or boutonniere.

Static Guard: Keep your veil from sticking to your dress, or a clingy dress from sticking to your legs (embarrassing!) with Static Guard. It’s also great sprayed on a hairbrush to mitigate flyaways!

Krazy Glue Singles: A crystal falls off of your necklace? Never fear — a little Krazy Glue will help. It’s also great for torn nails (ouch) and holding together most anything that isn’t slick plastic.

Short Stuff 2 1/2″ Gold Scissors: Trim errant threads with these small scissors. It’s also great for cutting off price tags, cutting out the small fabric manufacturer’s tags that can often itch, or just making sure you don’t take out an entire hem by pulling at one thread!

Run Free Hosiery Repair: While not everyone wears hosiery these days (I think we have Carrie from Sex and the City in the late 90s to blame — or thank!– for that), when you do you cannot have a run in them.  Clear nail polish is a solution, but can stick to your skin (ouch!). Run Free will help you stop the run quickly and easily.

Band-Aid travel size: For new-shoe blisters, minor mishaps– you need Band-Aids at all times.

Evercare Mini Lint Roller: Tuxedos are magnets for lint. Battle it by making sure to have a small lint roller in your bag

Butterfly Clutches-6 pr. Gold: Losing an earring back isn’t a disaster if you have a few at hand. These butterfly clutches fit most post earrings.

Pre Threaded BLACK and WHITE Sewing Kit: Don’t fuss with threading a needle when you only have a few minutes to spare. These pre-threaded needles (with both black and white thread) will help you fix a hem, sew on a sequin, or make other small repairs quickly and easily.

Monda Studio Large Shoulder Bag: You need to keep your supplies (not to mention some protein bars and maybe a flask!) close by.  This large shoulder bag holds everything in this deluxe kit and more. And you can use it for other purposes as well.

Wedding Emergency Kit: Basic

The Basic kit comes with a smaller bag and no steamer, but the rest of the supplies are the same. This is a great choice if you already have a steamer, or if you just want a smaller kit to keep in your car (event planners, I’m looking at you!).

Keep your wedding emergencies at bay with these kits, as well as all of the other supplies and expertise at Manhattan Wardrobe Supply!
