Bags & Cases
My actual emergency kit bags & cases that come with me everywhere.
Love the stackable compartments. Super roomy and easy to organize! Has space for all my emergency kit essentials, and easy to roll into venues.
Rolling Makeup Train Case 5-in-1 Cosmetic Trolley
I put my logo on the front pocket with iron-on vinyl. Looks small, but holds sooo much! I use these to hold my most-used emergency items (bandaids, sharpies, advil, crochet hook, tide pen…). Easy to access when it's on my chest all day!
Fanny Pack Crossbody Waist Bag for Travel
I used this as my emergency kit before I upgraded the the hard case one linked above. Now I use it as a condensed version of my emergency kit for travelling.
Trunab Rolling Teacher Tote Bag with Trolley
Tech
Anything tech related: phones, chargers, walkies, etc.
I have a total of four walkies that I use on wedding days. Me and my assistant each have one, plus I usually give the extras to the photographer and either the venue coordinator or the caterer! So great for large venues.
Retevis RT22 Mini 2-Way Radios 2 Pack
Stores all my BTS content and professional photo galleries from weddings, so it doesn't take up the storage on my phone. Plugs directly into my phone and my laptop for easy transferring.
Flash Drive 256GB 4-in-1 USB Type C Sky Blue
A good phone case is a must have. I'm always on my phone for weddings – checking timelines, messaging vendors, taking photos. This case has been great!
OtterBox Galaxy S22 Symmetry Case - STARDUST
Always on my phone during weddings! This makes it easy to prop up for good BTS content, easy to hold while I'm checking timelines or calling vendors, plus it's cute!!
PopSockets Disney Translucent Mickey Grip
Charges everything at once. Great for the night before weddings to charge my walkies & battery packs all at the same time.
SCCVEE 40W 4-Port USB C Wall Charger
These are pretty self explanatory!
LOFPYE 3-Pack USB C to USB C Cable 60W
Pack of two portable chargers with USB to USBC cords. Charge quickly and hold their charge quite well.
Portable 15000mAh Power Bank 22.5W Fast Charge
Fits & Shoes
My go-to attire options for wedding days.
One of my go-to dresses for weddings. Has pockets, and is very lightweight and breathable, but still cute and dressy!
MASCOMODA Womens Summer Casual Midi Dress
So comfortable and great for long days on your feet.
Dr.Scholl's Shoes Women's Time Off
Emergency Kit Essentials
A must-have to pin on boutonnieres or corsages.
100pcs Pearl Head Corsage Boutonniere Pins
I always keep a few of these in my emergency kit for a quick snack on wedding days. Bonus: they are gluten free!
Undercover Snacks Chocolate Quinoa Crisps 70ct
Love having a box of gloves in my emergency kit for any set up of food & drinks, glassware (no fingerprints), and first aid needs.
EUROPAPA Nitrile Exam Gloves, Blue, M, 100
The best scissors, plus they are small enough to fit in the belt bag I use for quick access.
Westcott 5-Inch Micro-Tip Fabric Scissors
Another self explanatory item!!
Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover Pen, 3 Count
Love this bug spray for summer weddings or venues near the water. Not greasy or sticky!
Stem Mosquito Repellent Spray 4 fl oz (3)
A lifesaver to keep taper candles in place, vases on shelves, or anything on tables when moving them! Great for glassware specifically.
Quakehold! 22111 Gel for Glass & Crystal, 4oz
I'm 100% an Owala fan! They keep water cold all day, have a straw or sip option, and close tight so no leaking or germs on an exposed straw.
Owala Flip Insulated Stainless Steel Bottle 24oz
Holds dresses and straps in place. Especially great on windy days.
BearKig 100-Strips Double-Sided Clear Tape
Mini sewing kit with all the essentials. This one fits in my belt bag, but I have additional thread, needles, and larger scissors in my rolling kit for back up.
Fiskars Compact Travel Sewing Kit, TSA Compliant
Trust me this is a must have!! Makes pulling loops over buttons so much easier for the wedding dresses and bustles. This one has a great grip handle.
SHWAKK 5.0mm Ergonomic Crochet Hook
