Brides, don't forget essential supplies for the actual wedding day. As a bride, blushing or not, your big day will run more smoothly if you're prepared for a tiny crisis or two. Pack a satchel or gym bag with the following items to help you get through the day:

Baby wipes	Pins (bobby, safety, straight, and hair)
Ballet slippers for dancing	Sewing kit complete with thread in white, black, and bridesmaids' dress colors
Blow dryer	Smelling salts
Brush, comb, and hairspray	Stockings (two pairs)
Clear nail polish, nail glue, and emery board	Straws (for a quick drink without messing up lipstick)
Contact lenses and solution	Studs, cufflinks, and bow ties
Earring backs	Tampons and sanitary napkins
Extra copies of wedding-day and transportation schedule	Toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, mouthwash, and breath mints
Eye drops	Tweezers, crochet hook (to get at button hooks and other teeny places)
