Snacks for the bride

Nobody wants a bride who is irritable! With all of the nerves, excitement, and anxiety surrounding the wedding day, most brides end up skipping or missing meals. Even if you don't want to eat right before your ceremony, it's still a good idea to have a snack on hand. After all, you don't want to be concerned about being fatigued, fainting, or sick during the ceremony. Keep dry fruits and nuts on available, as well as granola snacks, energy bars, and glucose biscuits. A light snack is always a good idea.

With the hairpins, you can keep all of your baby hair and flyaways off your face. Keep a couple hairpins in your bridal must-haves kit, much like the safety pins.
