When it comes to planning a wedding, a small part of your budget should always be set aside for an emergency kit take along on the day, should anything come unstuck.

Sewing scissors and a mini sewing kit
If you’ve hired or bought your designer wedding dress from Ever After Bridal Wear in Cape Town you can be confident that there’ll be no loose threads to worry about when you collect your dress, however, should anything happen to your dress in transit, or you trip on it in a way that causes a wee tear, those scissors and the sewing kit will come in very handy.
A stitch here or there could well save the day, and a snip here and there could do the same if any threads are hanging loose anywhere, whether on your dress or that of your bridesmaids.
Multi-purpose glue and superglue
Most brides don’t wear their wedding shoes or jewellery until the big day, and should a heel come loose, a tube of the right glue will do the trick. The same would apply if you lose a crystal or bead while getting dressed, whether on your dress, your shoes or that of your bridal party. Just make sure someone else in the party does the gluing, you don’t want to head for the altar with fingers stuck together with superglue!
Detergent wipes for your dress

Wet wipes
This is one thing no bride should leave out of an emergency kit. They are handy for everything, and, since you’re planning to be ready for everything, you’ll have everything covered by remembering to add these to your list.
