After a great wedding weekend here at The Loft, from the outside one would have guessed it was pulled off flawlessly! With a few hiccups behind the scenes, my staff here at The Loft really stepped it up and came to the rescue when the bridal party needed them the most! From misplaced socks to the best mans pants ripping 20 minutes before walking down the aisle, I am thrilled to say I really have the BEST staff working with me! Running errands and sewing dress pants on the spot, really shows our brides and clients we are here to help them with just about anything!
However, I understand that no bride wants to think about what could possibly go wrong on her wedding day, but it is important to be prepared for whatever is thrown your way! From tears of joy that might damper your makeup to a small stain on your dress – wedding emergencies come in all shapes and sizes!
Here are a few items listed below that you want to have prepared for your wedding day emergency kit!
Essentials
- Medicine (aspirin, tylenol, antacids, allergy/sinus, anti-diarrheal): Everyone needs to feel their best.
- Bandaids: You never know when someone will get stuck with a corsage pin or the ring bearer will fall down.

- Q-Tips
- Tissues (lots of them!)
- Breath mints
Oops! -Because accidents happen.
