    I'll have blister plasters, my make-up, wee tin of hairspray and perfume in my bag with a few tissues!

    all the other essentials will be up in my room, just in case I need them. Now my wedding is in winter I can have a marabou shrug and get one of those gorgeous marabou handbags that I saw on a webiste ages ago. (if anyone knows where I can get cheap ones, please drop me a line!)

    What I had in mine & found very helpful was:

    Medication
    Plasters
    lipstick
    mini version of your perfume (if you have one)
    kirby grips
    safety pin (my sister's dress at the loops split so we had a safety pin thankfully for it)
    Mints/Chocolate/Glucose Tabs (as I'm diabetic)

    I totally forgot hankies though & pretty much regretted it but thankfully our Officiator had some on hand!

    Going to keep all my emergency stuff in our hotel room - it's too hot for bags and any make-up or anything kept outside will melt! So me and my BMs and h2b and his best man and ushers have a hotel room each for the day so we can freshen up, change shoes or touch up make-up... boys probably won't use theirs for anything other than a place to chuck their jackets as soon as the photos are done lol.

    I'm having in our 'emergency hotel room supplies' - inhaler for me, painkillers/other medication as we're all on something or other! Make up, and then whatever else the BMs want to leave in there for easy access.

    Then keeping in a fridge - enough shoe gel cushions for all my BMS and me, baby wipes!

    Nail file
    Nail polish in the bride's shade (just in case it starts chipping)

    Straws (for drinking without messing up lipstick
    Extra stockings (incase of ladders)
    Hairspray
    Brush and comb
    Bobbypins and hair elastics
    Hairdryer
    Static-cling spray
    Tissues
    Handkerchiefs
    Lint brush
    Earring backs
    Iron
    Baby powder (also useful for getting out last-minute spills on a white dress)
    Eye-drops (look for redness reducing)
    Contact lens solution
    Acid relief
    Smelling salts
    Antacid
    Mints
