Of course, you don’t want to think about all the things that could go wrong on your special day. However, nothing is more frustrating than coming across a hiccup on a wedding day and having the tools at your disposal to save the day. A wedding day emergency kit can be a life saver for buttons that came loose, snagged pantyhose, or an unexpected migraine.
