Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and while you may have thought of every detail, there are always a few things brides look back on and wish they had ordered. To save you from post-wedding regrets, we’ve compiled a list of 10 must-have items that will make your big day even more memorable!
1. A Second (or Third) Dress
That stunning gown may be perfect for your ceremony, but after hours of dancing and celebrating, you might wish you had something lighter and more comfortable for the reception or after-party. A reception dress or even a chic jumpsuit can keep you stylish while letting you move more freely.
2. Customized Bridal Hangers
Your wedding dress deserves more than a plastic hanger! A beautiful, personalized hanger not only looks great in photos but also becomes a keepsake you’ll cherish for years to come.
3. A Bridal Emergency Kit
From bobby pins and stain removers to breath mints and blister patches, a well-stocked emergency kit can be a lifesaver on your big day. You never know when you’ll need a quick fix!
4. Day-Of Stationery
You’ve ordered invitations, but don’t forget about day-of details like menus, place cards, welcome signs, and itineraries. These small touches elevate your wedding decor and keep things running smoothly for your guests.
5. A Personalized Vow Book
Scrambling for a piece of paper or reading from your phone doesn’t quite have the same romantic effect. A beautifully bound vow book makes your heartfelt words feel even more special and creates a keepsake to cherish.
6. Extra Florals for Styling
Your florist will create stunning bouquets and centerpieces, but having extra loose flowers can make a big difference in your wedding photos. Photographers love using them for flat lays, cake styling, and detail shots.
7. A Fun Reception Entrance Prop
Make a grand entrance into your reception with something unexpected—think sparklers, confetti poppers, or even fun sunglasses for your bridal party. These little details add energy and excitement to the moment.
8. Guest Comfort Items
A thoughtful touch that guests will appreciate: baskets with flip-flops for dancing, cozy blankets for an outdoor wedding, or even a hydration station with infused water and mini snacks.
9. Post-Wedding Outfit for Brunch
The celebrations don’t stop at the reception! Whether you're hosting a farewell brunch or heading off on your honeymoon, having a chic post-wedding outfit ensures you leave in style.
10. A Try-At-Home Wedding Dress Experience
Many brides regret not exploring all their dress options, especially when shopping online. With The Orlando Bridal Shop’s Try-At-Home service, you can test out styles in the comfort of your home, making sure you find the one without the stress of in-store visits.
