sure your wedding is picture-perfect and disaster-free. Here are
seven quick fixes to wedding day bliss.

- Damsel in distress – not you! Give your maid of honor
a makeup kit filled with cheek and lip color, nail polish, concealer,
matte-finish powder, Q-Tips®, cotton balls, toothpicks,
brushes and a comb, a mirror and a mini bottle of hairspray.

- Things get spilled, hems rip, heels break. A pocket-size emergency
kit stashed in the dressing room will keep catastrophe at bay.
Include a needle and thread, safety pins, scissors, tape, Super
Glue® and stain remover.

- For an energy boost, pack a “picnic” of bottled
water and juices and some pick-me-up protein and fruit to nosh
on while you’re getting ready.

- Tear-proof mascara is a must. If you cry (and who doesn’t?),
don’t rub your eyes; gently dab your cheeks with a handkerchief.
A pretty linen one doubles as an accessory, and you won’t
get caught wet-handed.
- A pocket pharmacy will keep you feeling fine – ibuprofen
for headaches, Zantac® for nausea and Allegra®
for allergies (just think of all those flowers!).
- Be a quick change artist. Changing into a comfy pair of ballet
slippers for the reception will be a soulful experience. (They
can be easily dyed or decorated to match your gown.)
- A multi-purpose box of “love notes” will prove
indispensable if you need to add last minute place cards, write
a quick thank you note or jot down reminders or information.
