Whether you are planning to wait for the world to get back to normal and make a huge wedding reception or you’ve decided for a small wedding gathering with the closest friends and family, checking off everything on your list and organising everything can be excruciating. As a result, small things, no matter how important, can sometimes be forgotten.

While probably no one has ever forgotten about their dress or their suit, their shoes, the bouquet and the other bigger things, there are some smaller details that are often neglected, and not even included on the wedding to-do list.

Things to Include on Just-In-Case-Wedding-Accessories List

Brides and grooms have a lot of things to do before the wedding, and a lot of tiny details to consider. So, when you are preparing a list of things you don’t want to forget, try to think in advance about what may annoy you during the ceremony and the reception.

Something to Protect You from the Weather

Umbrellas have been protecting people from the rain and from the sun for millennia, and It may seem like an exaggeration, but wedding umbrellas can be a real saviour on your big day too. Even if your wedding takes place in summer or spring, you should be prepared in case rain starts pouring or in case the sun gets too bright and hot.

But even if it turns out you didn’t need it after all, whether you go for a Japanese or beautiful lace parasol for the sun, a classic white, a transparent one or in a colour that will complement the décor, wedding umbrellas can be a great addition to your wedding. Plus, they can offer unique and stunning photo opportunities, both for you and your partner, and for the guests.

Rain and sun aren’t the only reason why you should think about getting a wedding umbrella for yourself, some more for the wedding party and/or even for the guests. When you and your guests are taking photos for your social media you can use them to create some interesting shots, but you can also use them to take better photos. If the sun is too bright, for instance, they can help you shade the glare, and if it rains, they can help you create incredibly romantic photos.

So, to be extra sure that your wedding will go smoothly in case the weather decides to mess with you, it’s a good idea get umbrellas for your guests as well, especially if your wedding is outside. You can arrange to have a foldable compact umbrella under every seat or get bigger ones for more guests to share. Furthermore, if you decide to give your guests umbrellas, you can choose them according to your décor and make things even prettier.

Something to Protect Your Clothes and Shoes

While umbrellas can help protect your wedding dress or your suit from the rain, you should also think about other things that can potentially damage your garments. Of course, everything may go perfectly and by plan, but with so many things going on, so much food and drinks, one of the things you should be prepared for are stains. So, make sure you have something to help you clean a stain, or at least make it less noticeable. Also, don’t forget tissues!

Furthermore, don’t forget about your shoes. If you are the bride and you plan on wearing high heels, you might want to get heel protectors both for yourself and for the bridesmaids, so you don’t end up sinking in the grass and ruining your shoes.

Something to Protect Your Feet

Some people say that they don’t remember their own weddings, and it’s partly because they get so tired towards the end of the day. This is why it’s vital that you make yourself as comfortable as possible, especially when it comes to your feet because feet pain can ruin your day.

If you like wearing high heels, you’re probably already immune to that pain. However, don’t forget that you may end up spending hours standing and dancing. Even if you are used to wearing high heels, when it comes to your wedding, make sure you buy shoes that fit you well, give you great arch support, and get extra support with inserts just in case.

Avoid wearing your shoes for the first time on your wedding day. Wear them a couple of days before the wedding to break them in. Shoes are more comfortable when they have been already worn regardless of whether they are men’s dress shoes, sandals, flats, high heels or even sneakers.

Nevertheless, with so much dancing and standing, your feet may still be very tired even if you’ve taken every precaution and prepared for any situation. So, if all else fails, you can have a spare pair of sneakers or ballerina shoes in your bag so you can easily change and keep on having fun.

Many brides and grooms decide to wear comfortable shoes from the start, and of course, there are people who simply don’t like dress shoes. But, even with the most comfortable shoes, your feet can get quite beaten, so try to have a plan.

Something for Emergencies

If you are the bride, you probably already know how to prepare for anything which may come your way, like most women. You probably also have a handbag full of stuff for emergencies. So, make a small emergency kit, by asking yourself what can happen which will make it hard for me to enjoy myself? Think period, headaches, makeup or undone hair, blisters, spills and stains on your dress, loose threads, bad breath, and similar, and prepare accordingly.
