Bride's must have in D day purse!

Hi everyone,

Recently we celebrated our 6^th wedding anniversary. While going back through the memory lane with my husband we came across a few thing that still made us laugh or think thank God I had that or I wish we had that.

I miss being a bride, all the pampering, the drama, makeup and just everything.

A lot of times I was asked by my cousins and friends to share a checklist of the things that a bride should have in her purse on the day of the wedding, apart from the vanity (you can’t take the vanity case to the stage).

So I thought that I’ll share my list of things that a new bride should have in her purse at the time of the ceremony.

To start with:

·         Extra Bindis: As an Indian bride I put side bindis along with the main one above my eyebrows. And even though my wedding was in February which is cold I was sweating because of the heavy dress and heavy makeup. My makeup artist tried her level best to stick them properly but still by the time barat arrived one or two bindis dropped.So to avoid that situation you must always keep extra set of bindis in your bag.

·         A bunch of safety pins: Safety pins are a saviour. In a wedding I had attended, a BIG wardrobe malfunction happened with the poor bride. Since she was wearing a very heavy lehanga, the tie could not hold the dress for long and it broke. The bride realized it in a jiffy and held her dress and came of the stage. Safety pins came to rescue then. Using big sized pins her lehnga was in place again.

Remember to keep different size pins in your bag.

·         Same Lip colour: With the long photo sessions and the “Fera” ceremony the lipsticks tend to fade away. To avoid this situation always carry the same lip color that you are wearing on the D day.

·         Small Mirror: This is a must. To keep a check on how are you looking you must keep a small mirror. Like to apply the lipstick or bindi you need that. Sometimes there is no body around that you can trust with putting the lipstick but you. So keep it handy.

·         Tissues (Wet and facial tissues): Tissues are a must again. They help you in the Vidaai time, when tears fall down with a deep heart. Wet wipes are for any stains of makeup or anything. OMG I had haldi on my hands which transferred to my face in no time. So I needed wet wipes to get rid of that.Look at my nose.. all yellow!! Yet one of my favorite pictures, we were so happy!!

·         Compact powder: It’s very important to keep a compact powder in your purse. As I said sweat makes things difficult. To avoid the fading and melting away of makeup keep touching up your makeup with the compact.

·         Kajal: Since I have very oily lids and watery waterline, I have to keep retouching it. To keep my kajal in place my makeup artist did her best but still it kept fading up. So Kajal is a must for brides like me.

·         Ear buds: Better to keep one or two buds in your purse, it is helpful when the kajal smudges or the lipstick moves a little buds become your friend. Use a bud tip to clean the edges.

So that’s all that a bride needs to keep in the purse on her wedding day.

I will come up with an article on what all should be in the vanity very soon. Thanks for reading! Happy Wedding! Enjoy to the fullest, it is indeed the best day of a girl’s life!
