1. Heel Stoppers - These are a must if you will need to walk across the grass at any point throughout the day. I recommend having a set for every girl in your bridal party as well as yourself. There is nothing worse than sinking into the ground in your wedding shoes!

2. Tide To Go Stick - Keep that dress white!

3. Small Sewing Kit – If I had a penny for every time I sewed a button back onto a groom’s jacket I would be rich!

4. Mints - Keep that first kiss fresh! Individually wrapped so they don’t make a mess.

5. Antihistamine tablets – because you just never know! Having an allergic reaction to something on your wedding day could be catastrophic!

6. Bobby Pins – It always seems like there are never enough Bobby pins!

7 . Tissues – For all the reasons! Check out these bride and groom themed compact tissue packs.

8. Insect / Mozzie Spray – Non-sticky, moisturising & pleasant fragrance. Insect bites are super annoying and can kill your mood. They also don’t look that great in pictures! Your guests would benefit from this as well if you have some as they arrive at the ceremony.

9 . Chapstick – No one likes kissing cracked lips! This goes for Grooms too! A 100% natural lip moisturising balm.

10. Antacid tablets – If you will be drinking at all during your wedding day these are great to have on hand. No one wants acid reflux on their big day.

11. Nail Clippers – Because random hangnails are not cool! These ones are great quality and won’t let you down.

12. Hair Spray – When the makeup artist has already left and you have that one rebellious hair that is driving you nuts!

13. Lint Roller – Because snow looks great on the ground, not on your outfit. This is a really great, compact, retractable lint roller to fit in your bag.

14. Sunscreen – Because you don’t want to get sunburn - it’s painful, not good for you… and not a good look for your wedding photos.

15. Oil Blotting Tissues Because you are human and humans sweat. Sweat is not friends with makeup. Have your maid of honor or best man have a few of them in case you need one during your portraits etc.

16. Clear Nail Polish – Keep those nails looking good! Fix a chip and get back in the action!

17. Clear UmbrellaThere is always unfortunately a chance of rain on your wedding day so plan ahead and purchase enough for each bridal party member. Make sure you get a clear umbrella like the one I linked to. This one’s big - perfect for maximum protection for the two of you.

18. Baby Powder – Because sweat is not cool and neither is chaffing. This is a 100% natural ‘dusting powder’.

19. Mini First-Aid Kit - This is a great one!

20. Super Glue – Fix broken shoe soles, heels etc.

21. White Chalk – If you can’t get a small stain out of your wedding dress you can rub white chalk on it! Magic!

22. Floss – Because the broccoli from the veggie tray should stay on the tray or live in your tummy, not in your teeth.

23. Phone Charger – Because we all have that one person that just can’t be on time.

24. Lighter – Takes care of frayed edges on dresses or gets rid of pesky strings.

25. Granola Bars – Because you will forget to eat just like 99% of wedding couples. PS - Drinking on an empty stomach is bad!

26. Eye Drops – Bloodshot eyes don’t look good on most people. Clear up those eyes after you shed a few tears.

27. Deodorant – Because someone will most likely forget this and you don’t want to smell them all day! Get a ‘stain free’ one if you can.

28. Paracetamol - Easy on the stomach and relieves pain.

29. Power bank (don't forget to take the lead with you!) - Just in case you don’t have easy access to a plug socket for your phone charger.
