Wedding Planning Essentials: Emergency Kit

September 16, 2015 · 2 Comments

One always hopes for a picture perfect wedding, but it’s no secret that the “big day” also comes with stress and some unexpected hurdles too. A bridesmaid chipped her nail, the groom’s suit has a loose button, and the flower girl got apple juice on her dress…as any event planner knows, accidents are bound to happen. Being prepared with a wedding day emergency kit is essential, and is something all planners always have on hand at events. A properly equipped emergency kit, will ensure that the day will go smoother, whether you’re a wedding planner or the maid of honor.

No matter if I’m organizing a wedding or just setting up decor, I always bring my survival kit with me, it’s quite a necessity. And you don’t have to be the event planner to have one at a wedding, it’s a great thing for a bride or groom to have when preparing for the big day. So I’ve put together an extensive list to things to have on hand during your wedding day, as the bride, the MOH or the planner, as well as a list of common tools that event stylists and coordinators often bring with them when setting up an event…Event Survival Kit

You can download the PDF file here. Below you’ll find common wedding day/event disasters and easy fixes that will make it seem like nothing ever happened.

The Kit

Ask any event planner, and they’ll say their trusty on-site event kit is always at a location with them. Before the actual wedding or event, when stylists are making the perfect day look perfect, that’s when mishaps often occur, so I’ve learned throughout the years which tools come in handy. I remember doing a wedding on New Year’s Eve and having to help the bride fix her bustle with safety pins, after ripping it on the dance floor! Things happen, and it’s always better to be prepared. I learned during my internship at a wedding planning company to use an art supply case. It’s sturdy, easy to carry around and has plenty of space to place all the things needed. I’ve also seen planners use three-pocket jewelry holders like this one. Whichever style kit you use, make sure it works best for your working style and needs.

Here’s just a look at my event emergency kit, minus a few crucial tools I load up just before event days. Wedding Planning Essentials: Emergency Survival Kit Wedding Planning Essentials: Emergency Survival Kit Wedding Planning Essentials: Emergency Survival Kit

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after yesterday’s historic day. change won’t happen all at once, there is much to work on...
but for the first time in some time,
I know many are easing up those tense shoulders
& releasing a big deep breathe of relief...

it’s okay to feel good
about releasing all the energy
from the last four years,
we deserve to celebrate
letting go of that...but I do feel
this overall newfound sense of hope,
of inspiration, of drive, motivation,
one we haven’t felt in sometime,
a sigh of relief, that at least,
we’re taking the first steps 
to expand & better the days ahead for all🌾🧡✨
This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
