What do you need in you Wedding Day Purse….

There are a few key items that you want to have in your purse the day of your wedding.  Since your purse will be most likely small, there are a few other things you want to have your maid of honor carry for you and your girls.

Lets start with the Bride’s purse:

Blotting Papers – Use these to get rid of any moisture and shine on your face.  If you use powder all day, it will just look cakey by the time your reception starts.

Lipstick/gloss - Find out from your makeup artist on the day of your trial session, what colour she is using.  This way you can make sure you have it with you to do touch ups on the wedding day.

Pressed Powder – Not to be used a lot, but you want this to do touch ups periodically throughout the day.  Always make sure you blot your face with your blotting papers first so any sweat doesn’t mix with the powder to cake it.

Q-tips - Just in case any eye makeup goes south, these make cleanups and blending a breeze.

Tissue – From tears of joy to tears from the sun being in your eyes, these keep your makeup from being wiped off.  Make sure when you wick away your tears, hold the tissue with your index finger and hold in the tear duct of your eye.  Avoid wiping as it will take makeup with you, and leave you with streaks.

Mints – You’ll want minty fresh breath all day long.

Now for the Maid of Honor’s purse:

Advil - You never know when a headache may strike!

Tide to Go pen – Dresses will get dirty the day of the wedding.  You can use this for any stains you can’t live with the rest of the day.

Small sewing kit – In case a hem drops or a bustle loop breaks.  Better to be safe than sorry.

Straw – So you can drink water, etc, without smudging your lipstick.

Band-Aids – It will be misery if you get blister and have nothing to cover them up with.

A few other things that could be useful: antiperspirant, an emery board, bobby pins a travel size hairspray.
