The space you use as your bridal suite on your wedding day, whether it’s a hotel room or a hidden room at the venue, will be your fortress for the night. It’ll be a place that you and your bridesmaids can drop off their bags and even head to when they need a couple of minutes to take a breather throughout the night. That’s why you want to make sure the bridal suite is stocked with a few necessities, so that they don’t have to leave the wedding to hunt for toiletries or even a quick solution to sore feet. Wondering what you should keep in the suite? Here are the top 9 items.
1. To-Go Snacks
The day will be long and having snacks around will truly benefit all members of the bridal party. Stock the room with snacks they can eat easily and that aren’t too messy.
2. Band-Aids
Because blisters are a given for everyone involved in the wedding. The more Band-Aids you have, the more people you can count on to man the dance floor all night without having to sit down and rest burning feet.
3. Mini-Water Bottles
Since the wedding day is a long one and your bridal party will be on-the-go, have mini-bottles of water in the bridal suite that they can grab and chug in-between photos and tasks that you want them to do.
4. Phone Chargers
Chances are your bridesmaids will be taking photos and helping you document the details of your day on their phones. Having spare phone chargers around will let your bridal party take a break in a noise-free space and charge-up their phones.
5. Fashion Tape
Last minute dress emergencies may happen and one of the fastest ways of solving these fashion mishaps is with double-sided tape. Having a roll or two of fashion tape nearby will be a pre-aisle lifesaver.
6. Couches and Chairs
If your designated bridal suite at the venue is somewhere that doesn’t have much opportunity for seating, ask if chairs or couches can be moved inside. This will give your bridal party a space to lay down and rest whenever they need a break.
7. Hangers
Try to have as many hangers as possible in the bridal suite. If not, you may have clothes everywhere by the end of the night, especially if you’re planning on doing wedding dress outfit changes.
8. Flip Flops
When everyone’s feet need a break, have extra flip-flops available, just in case the bridesmaids forgot to pack a pair of flats for the dance floor.
9. A Curling Iron
It’s a long day and the weather or even the constant running around may make people’s curls fall out. Having a curling iron just in case will let your bridesmaids do a last-minute hair touch up if they need one.
