Wedding Day Emergency Kit: Must-Haves for the Unexpected
After spending months laboring over the timeline, picking out the perfect floral arrangements, and micromanaging the venue floor plans for your big day, the last thing you want is to have an unexpected mishap.
We wanted to create a guide to help you combat those small, behind-the-scenes moments that can pop up on your wedding day. Events by Madeleine does provide most of these items in our Emergency Kit - we always ask that you triple check if there is something you’re worried about!
