Wedding Emergency Kit for Bride: Must-Have Survival Pack Essentials

If you're running short on time, don't worry. Here's the complete lowdown on our go-to SOS wedding essentials, along with insider tips, that are certain to set you up for beauty success, no matter the situation. Take notes!

Keep every kind of pin at your disposal. Think safety pins that discreetly swoop in to counter any wardrobe malfunctions — like a sloppy, dishevelled pallu or unexpected rips in your saree or dress — and bobby pins to counter last-minute hair mishaps. Remember — you've got to account for absolutely everything.

There will be tears of joy — but smeared mascara? She's not invited. Don't forget that HD photos capture absolutely everything. So, ensure your SOS kit includes a lot of Q-tips and cotton pads that you can swiftly sweep over your waterline amid emotional moments. The sentiment will remain intact, and so will your makeup. Isn't that a win-win situation?

You're most likely to fall in love with your makeup as soon as you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. Chances are, though, that your makeup will fade in between celebrations. While that's normal, there's a way to keep your glam dance-proof, radiant, and fresh all day long. Enter face powder and concealer. Simply go over areas that you'd like to touch up with some product. Dust some Lakmē Xtraordin-airy Mattreal Mousse Concealer under the eyes and over blemishes to instantly enliven your complexion, and reach for a little Lakmē Face It Loose Finishing Powder to ensure your makeup is always glowy, not greasy.

A well-placed maang-tikka, perfectly centred bindi, and unmoving dupatta all help tie your look together. But here's the hard truth — they're not always well-placed, perfectly centred, or unmoving. But the upside here is that glue drops and fashion tape exist - and they'll gravity-proof your look effortlessly.

They say beauty is pain, and this rings truer during the wedding season. The sore ear from heavy lifting your statement jewellery. The blisters from strutting around and dancing in 6 inch heels. The snagged nail from trying to adjust your outfit repeatedly. That's why you must always have bandages on you.

Petroleum jelly. Vaseline Skin Protecting Jelly . Whatever you may call it, do ensure that this trusty tub of hydration finds a place in your handbag. Count on it to treat shoe bites, moisturize dry, flaky lips, and soothe chafing between the thighs. Just dab some of the occlusive over problematic areas, and you're done.

A selfie-ready look is a must— after all, those wedding photos last a lifetime. But how do you ensure your lips understand the assignment? Lipstick. You'll definitely need to retouch your lips throughout the day, especially if it's the pièce de résistance of your look. To avoid constant touch-ups, opt for long-lasting formulas that are part of your bridal waterproof makeup arsenal. A good waterproof lipstick will stay put through sips, smiles, and celebrations, keeping your pout picture-perfect from pheras to the final dance. So, don't forget to keep your lip essential like Lakmē 9to5 Hya Matte Lip Liquid in close proximity — through all the eating, dancing, and running around.

You can never anticipate dropping something on your pristine white lehenga - but life happens. That's why adding a stain remover pen to your kit is so important. This sleek, portable product will instantly fade stains and restore your outfit to its O.G. glory.

To blot, wipe, and clean — the humble tissue paper does it all. So dance the night away without a care in the world, and trust this essential to come to your rescue any time you need it.

Headaches happen — whether they're alcohol-induced, triggered by the aunties inquiring after your love life, or caused by sheer exhaustion, you may want to keep a painkiller or two in your bag — just in case. And that covers it! With your look now main character-approved, outfit ready to turn heads, and worst-case scenarios successfully dodged, you're officially ready to take on wedding season! Glow get it, girlie!
