When the wedding day has finally come, we think we have everything put together. Starting from our hair and makeup, to the dress, all the way down to the shoes. In many cases, things go smoothly without the need for reinforcements, but to be best prepared for the unexpected, here is a little guide to get you on the right track.

Having a reliable bridesmaid or maid of honor is a necessity. Well, let's hope you picked the right person for the job! In any case, having a reliable and ready whenever side kick to assist you throughout the day is a must. When a bride is in need of something as simple as going to the restroom, the dress can sometimes get in the way! Having a handy dandy helper to hold your dress up when you're attending to your business, can be crucial and helpful!

Sometimes, accidents happen and time is not on your side on the big day. Most likely you are running around trying to get yourself ready to walk down the aisle and meet your hubby at the altar. When rushing to get to your final destination of love, you can sometimes come in contact with overjoyed family members running towards you ready to embrace you. Makeup gets smudged, hair gets loose, and the dress can get caught onto someone's jewelry for example. Having a sewing kit for any rips or nips is always good to keep on hand. Backup makeup, hairspray and hair accessories are a must too!

The last thing any bride thinks about doing on her wedding day is eating. Most of the time, you're sitting pretty and avoiding any possible reason to not fit in your dress. Well, listen up little miss, snacks and fluids will keep you at bay without the concerns of becoming bloated and not fitting in your dress. It is extremely important to stay hydrated and fed to preserve the energy you will be exerting at the reception. You need that energy to survive the night as you showcase all your dance moves with your guests!

As you're dancing the night away, you can expect to work up a sweat. Bringing backup deodorant and your favorite perfume will ensure you are smelling fresh and clean as your loved ones continue to embrace you the remainder of the party. You can easily grab yourself a travel size deodorant and perfume that will fit in any small bag.

Backup dancers are guaranteed on your wedding day. Family and friends will flock around you, moving and grooving to the music. Stepping on one another's toes, literally, is inevitable. Having a backup pair of shoes that can protect your freshly manicured toes and keep you dancing non stop till the night is done is essential.

The list goes on and every bride requires certain items for their big day. These few tips will help you prepare for it and assist in any unexpected events that may occur. Should you need any additional information, it is always best to speak to your event planner and photographer so they are able to provide you with past experiences that could aid you in knowing what you may or may not need for your special day.
