The Top 3 Items Every Bride Should Bring With Her on Her Wedding Day

When you’re a bride-to-be, you’ll find yourself crossing off the final days on your calendar and looking forward to taking that very first step down the aisle. But, no matter how many times you’ve glanced over your to-do list and made sure you packed every single table card or called and confirmed with all of your vendors, there are a couple of things you’ll want to remember to toss into your tote bag before heading to the venue and blurting out an, “I Do”.

You never know when you’ll need it to snap a photo here and there on your wedding day. Next, you may want to bring an extension cord or two with you so that there will be enough outlets for all the bridesmaids and bridal party to plug in their phones or curling irons, if needed.

 

3. An Extra Pair of Shoes

No matter how much you adore the heels you picked out to wear on your wedding day, they’ll bring their good friends “blisters” along with them. Be sure to have an extra pair of shoes, comfortable shoes, packed with you so that you can change into them when you don’t need to be in your heels. Between photos or before the ceremony – even after the ceremony when you want to break it down on the dance floor. Whether it’s a pair of flats of flip flops, keep an extra
