As your wedding day draws near, the flurry of excitement and nerves is all too real. You've got your venue locked in, your attire fitted to perfection, and your heart set on a day you'll never forget. But before you say "I do," there's a chapter of the day that demands your attention: the morning of your wedding.
In previous articles, I’ve delved into the intricacies of What to Wear the Morning Of Your Wedding and Six Things To Remember For Getting Ready On Your Wedding Day for a smooth getting-ready process. If you haven't already, be sure to check those out. Today, we're taking it a step further by highlighting the must-have items that will be your steadfast companions as you and your VIPs get ready for the day.
From emergency fixes to last-minute touch-ups, these essentials will ensure that your journey to the altar is as seamless and enchanting as you've dreamed. From bandaids to scissors, hairspray to bobby pins, this curated list leaves no detail overlooked.
Without further ado, let's explore the must-have items for getting ready on your wedding day.
Getting Ready on Your Wedding Items
Feel free to use this list as a starting point and further customize it to you and your VIPs’ needs. As a wedding planner, this is what I see used most often:
Crochet hook (if your attire has buttons that need to be hooked on - or wide, u-shaped bobby pins also work)
Must like restroom baskets, these items work great when placed in a basket or box in a prominent location within your Getting Ready Suite.
For an extra touch, I recommend adding some extra Pocket Timelines or a print-out of your wedding timeline so it can be easily referenced throughout the morning.
And don’t forget to create your own little bag of items to keep without you through the day. This is a great spot to pack your wedding scent, any hair/makeup touchups, or change of shoes/undergarments.

So, as your wedding day inches closer, remember that amidst the chaos and excitement, it's the little details that truly make the moments memorable. From the camaraderie of your wedding party to the laughter that fills the air, getting ready is not just a prelude to your wedding — it's an experience to be cherished.
As you gather with your closest friends and family, armed with bandaids, hairspray, and bobby pins, embrace the imperfections and the genuine moments of connection. Because it’s not about “perfection”; it's about being present, sharing stories, rolling with the punches, and savoring the anticipation of what's to come.
Here's to the morning of your wedding day — may it be filled with genuine laughter, heartfelt conversations, and the beautiful chaos of love in its rawest form.
