Aside from being super excited, you’ll have a lot to think about during the run up to your wedding day. Don’t let ‘packing your overnight bag’ be a stressful item on your wedding ‘to-do’ list. Below, we’ve listed a number of items that you may wish to pack ahead of your wedding, so that you’re not panicking on the morning of the big day, trying to squash everything in to your case. Some items relate to you and how you’ll look on the day, but a second list will remind you of things you may need to remember in order to decorate your wedding venue.

These items may include a veil, your wedding shoes (and dancing shoes if you plan on changing out of your heels. Wedding headwear such as a head piece or tiara.

Comfortable clothing to wear during your hair and make up session – along with clothing to wear the following day.

Underwear to wear under your wedding day attire, the night of your wedding and the following day.

It might be nice to wear something new and lovely for the night of your wedding.

Don’t forget deodorant, your toothbrush and toothpaste, along with any other toiletries you may need.

If you’re wearing an up-do, you may wish to brush it out later in the evening or the following morning, but you may also want to think about whether you want to tie your hair up the next day, curl it or use some product on it.

In case you need to touch up during the day, and for the following day.
