The Essential Bride Kit | What's Inside
REMOVE IT
What is it: Stain Removing Spray
How To Use: Prep the affected area with a small amount of water, treat stain, wipe and rinse. Launder or dry clean as needed and if you can't launder immediately, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
Quick Tip: If you're treating a stain on-the-go and need to get back to the crowd, allow stain to dry or use a hair dryer to hide the wet spot. Bonus tip: If your garment is white, allow stain to fully dry after being treated and use our stain masking stick to temporarily cover stain to get you through your day!
SECURE IT
What is it: Hair + Pin Kit
How To Use: Simply grab and go! We designed this specifically to meet your "pinning" needs.
Quick Tip: Clear elastics can also be used to keep a knot in your favorite tee for a more cropped look or for a quick ponytail. Use the corsage pins on a wedding day for a boutonniere, to keep a bouquet ribbon in place, or even to pin an article of clothing for a hem reference for your tailor.
TAPE IT
What is it: Rescue Tape
How To Use: Peel the backing off and adhere tape to garment or directly onto clean skin. Gently smooth fabric so tape doesn't pucker or wrinkle.
Quick Tip: We recommend adhering tape to skin for dress line or top taping. If using as a quick hem repair, we suggest removing the garment first and taping on a flat surface. The more you handle the tape, the less sticky it will become so keep that in mind when using. If it folds to itself, it's very hard to straighten it back out, so when you're about to use you can hang it off the end of a finger to keep it from sticking to itself or anything around you!
CUSHION IT
What is it: Foot Gel Pads
How To Use: Insert inside the ball of the shoe area for cushioned support.
Quick Tip: Bring this product with you when shoe shopping. It may affect how your shoes fit and feel, as it's very padded and may make your fit a bit more snug. Best results when used with closed-toe, peep toe or thick strap shoes. Use in conjunction with Body Glide for ultimate new-shoe comfort.
CLEAR IT
What is it: Deodorant Removing Sponge
How To Use: Hold fabric taut and use the sponge (DRY ONLY) to gently rub spot until deodorant is gone.
Quick Tip: Never wet the sponge! You can also use this as a quick lint remover in a pinch.
SHIELD IT
What is it: Glam + Garment Shield
How To Use: This product prevents makeup transfer from face to clothing. Remove the shield from packaging and carefully place over the front of your face with the elastic part around your hairline. Slip your shirt or dress over your head.
Quick Tip: We always suggest applying lipstick/gloss AFTER you've used this shield so you can get multiple uses out of it. Store back in it's package or a ziplock bag for multiple uses!
HOOK IT
What is it: Button and Bustle Hook
How To Use: For the tiny buttons on the back of the wedding dress or bustle. DON'T pull upward on the elastic. Rather, pull OVER the button. Use your free hand to push the button closer to the loop so you are not over stretching the elastic. Take your time, and be gentle!
Quick Tip: If need a bustle before your reception, practice with your bustle buddy (wedding coordinator, maid of honor) a few times before the big day!
THREAD IT
What is it: Pre-threaded Needles
How To Use: Simply grab and go! Match one of the commonly used colors with your garment and start stitching.
Quick Tip: These are located inside the sewing kit. Don't forget to tie a small knot on both sides of the thread (once you cut to your desired length) for a secure stitch. To learn how to thread a needle just in case your thread slips out, head to our blog post.
DAB IT
What is it: Tissues
How To Use: Simply grab and go! For the snotty, happy tears.
Quick Tip: Keep sealed for best results. Can also be used to blot liquid spills.
